How It's Done: The Final Product

Once the cartoon is finished and signed, it's time for the computer!


While I draw traditionally, I will use the computer to process and upload artwork to this webpage.  My setup is simple - a laptop with some graphics editing software (in this case, I use Photoshop 6.0) and a scanner.


Using my scanner, I scan the cartoon to my computer; from there, the file goes into my graphics program where I retouch and format the cartoon.  The caption also gets added.  Two copies are made - a high quality to reprint in a possible book one day and a lower quality image for display online.

By the way, here's the finished cartoon!


I hope you enjoyed this inside look at how Tiffany & Corey gets produced.  And now, please go back to viewing the cartoons!

The Tiffany & Corey Kickstarter

ATTENTION:  AS OF 3/3/2019, THIS KICKSTARTER IS CANCELLED DUE TO CIRCUMSTANCES BEYOND MY CONTROL!

Ladies and gentlemen, I'd like to announce my next Kickstarter.  

On Saturday, April 13, 2019, I will be launching a crowdfunding drive to fund a 24-page digest size comic (5.5 x 8.5 inches) titled "Tiffany & Corey's Funhouse".




(DISCLAIMER:  The above image is a mock-up and will not be the final cover.)  

Tiffany & Corey's Funhouse will be funded by a combination of self-funding and crowdfunding.  The goal for the Kickstarter will be to raise US$400.

Of that amount, $200 goes towards the printing of the comic which will have a total print run of 500 copies.  $125 will go towards mailing supplies and first class postage to backers.  (I did some testing by mailing a copy to myself.)  That comes to $325; all remaining funds will cover anything unforeseen as well as paying for processing fees and the 3-5% cut taken by the Kickstarter people.  Again, the goal for this Kickstarter is $400.

Now let's talk about our rewards.

Just as little as US$1 gets your name printed in the comic on the editorial page.

A pledge of US$3 will get your name printed in the comic plus a copy of Tiffany & Corey's Funhouse mailed out to you anywhere in the USA.  If you reside in Canada, the United Kingdom, Europe or anywhere else in the world, a pledge of US$5 will get your name printed in the comic plus a copy mailed out to you anywhere in the world outside the United States.

A special limited tier will be available for retailers (those who own a comic shop, storefront, and so on).  A pledge of US$20 will get you 10 copies of the comic mailed to you plus some point-of-sale goodies!  This tier will only be limited to backers in the USA.

I will have some tiers at the level of US$50 & US$75 where original art will be available too.

This will be cross-posted to the Sunnyville blog as well.  Mark your calendars!  We launch the Tiffany & Corey Kickstarter on Saturday, April 13!

How It's Done: On Color

Now for a brief interlude, fans.  Tiffany & Corey is chiefly done in black & white.  In spite of this, I do occasional color work.  Since this work is chiefly drawn traditionally, I use traditional media to color cartoons or illustrations.


Markers are my tool of choice to color any work with Tiffany & Corey.  I get good quality markers from art supply stores but these brands like Prismacolor, Copic and so on can cost a lot of money.  Lucky for me, I look for bargains and shop around where I can.
