Pretty much my Substacks are confined to Tom Brevoort. I can say that the framework of his newsletter would be great, except of course adding your actual art.
Once a week is great if you can do it. As for what to post, sometimes I wonder whether asking people doesn’t illicit the right response. People often don’t know what they want until they get it. It’s like scrolling through Netflix. You think you want to watch that big blockbuster that’s gonna leave you with an empty feeling. Really you should’ve watched the subtitled Hungarian thing that would leave you thinking about the film for a week or more. Anyway, rambling here, but I love seeing your work andthat’s definitely something that should feature! Cheers.
<laughs> I want to see your humor in any form, but ideally, if I could take my pick of any option in the world, I'd see it in any comic form. And I mean everything from single panels to single strips, ongoing, etc.
The art's enough to get me to open the email anytime I notice it, and the stories are great bonuses I appreciate being included.
<thinks> Even just including an illustration to go along with the story would be great (thinking back to my initial comment) -- not that it has to be accurate, or reflect a specific moment in time, but anything that combines the two is gold, I love art, but I love it even more when it has something to say!
These are physical watercolors. I don't make prints. No time and they really don't make money. Some I sold at comic cons and others my wife claimed. :)
Origin story, peeks into process, tools of the trade(great post by the way!), finished and not so finished art, any and/or all of that would be fantastic. As for frequency it’s fun to follow along with the regular posters but surprise posts popping up are fun, too, so I’d vote for no pressure!
How utterly adorable!
How about your career via drawings and include depictions of those individuals who were part of who you are today?

I don't really get many questions. Guess that's why I asked what people wanted. Hmm.

Very true. It's true in storytelling--never give the audience what they say they want. Maybe I'll just do whatever feels right to me at the time. :)

I've been thinking about creating a strip or something specifically for Substack. All these ideas floating around. Thanks!
Would be great to see new art and/or some analysis/industry tales/looks back into the archives every 2-3 weeks.
Cool. Maybe that's it. Set a rotating subject list.
Once a week sounds perfect.
Art art art is the best stuff. But if you post other stuff here and there that’s ok too.
Always fun to see art and hear about the projects you're working on! Will you be selling any of these prints? Love the Henson/Kermit one!

Awesome! I can do all the above. I do have to be better at posting things going on as they happen. I figure this is better than social media.
Personally, I love the Batman. Great work Chris
