On a new server

Saturday, August 30th, 2008

In order to save $33 a year in hosting, I’ve moved all of my sites to a new server(why pay for infinite space when you only use 7 GB?). If I charged myself by the hour, this transfer would have cost more than the savings. Not worth it. One example: my email might not work. However, I know I’ll appreciate it when the next bill comes around.
I’m slowly returning things back to working order, there are still some broken things. This has definitely been a learning process. I learned from my mistakes transferring THIS site, and did a much better job with my Kenny Chronicles comics site. Over half the battle is learning a new host’s control panel. GoDaddy’s control panel tries to sell you domains every chance it gets. Not annoying, but makes me wonder where their other priorities(like hosting) sit.

Future of this site:
I really don’t know how often comics and pictures will be posted here. It became so much of a mirror of KennyChronicles.com that I’ve decided to stop mirroring the comics over here, especially with the move to twice a week. If you want more Kenny Chronicles, go to the site. Please note that the comic is rated PG-13. Since all of my comiking time has been spent on the Kenny Chronicles, you’ll likely only see single pictures, with the very occasional non-Kenny comic, on this site. Oh, and the occasional Culinary Wut Wut blog entry. I still need to blog about oat burgers. Thems are good.

I will be getting the gallery of Toonfest 2007 up within a month. I put it off for a long time, and I’m now realizing how much work it’ll be. In taking pictures, I’d shoot first and ask questions later so I don’t miss anything. Therefore, lots of editing to be done.

Toonfest 2008 is coming on September 19-20, and I will be ready. I make no promises, but I hope to have that gallery up within a few weeks after Toonfest. One cartoonist showing up who’s not listed on the site is Tom Richmond, a cartoonist for MAD Magazine. He won’t be talking at the symposium, he’ll just be enjoying the festivities, and having some original MAD artwork in the gallery as usual. My art will be there too.

Toonfest 2008 coming soon

Saturday, July 26th, 2008

September 19-20th, two of my original comics will be on display at Toonfest in Marceline, MO(Lardy’s Jr. will be one of them). I will be there too, and would be happy to do sketches. Marceline is in northern Missouri near Kirksville and Brookfield. It’s also the boyhood home of Walt Disney, and the reason for Toonfest. Main Street USA was inspired by that very town.
There will be some big-name cartoonists there too, but the only one I recognize is Jerry Scott of Baby Blues and Zits. Ooo, gotta take my Zits book up there! Other artists speaking include Dave Coverly(Speed Bump), Jan Eliot(Stone Soup), and Greg Evans(LUANN). There’s a parade on Saturday morning with the cartoonists as the grand marshalls. RIght after noon, join us at the theater where the cartoonists talk about their work, their life, and cartooning in general. Very informative talks there. I especially recommend it for other cartoonists.

More information on Toonfest can be found at Toonfest.net. My photo galleries of past Toonfests can be found here. I’ll be updating you as the time gets closer.
