Carl Beam (Updated)

Almost 20 years ago in 2006, when I was at art school, I was looking into photocopy techniques in art and printmaking and came across the work of Carl Beam. I quickly fell in love with his process and work. Now in 2023 I am living in Canada and was invited to First Nations University for an outreach event. We were kindly offered lunch as part of the event. After grabbing a plate, I sat down at a table and an artwork on the wall next to me caught my eye. My head whipped around as I realised it was a Carl Beam Original! The I turn my head more and there are three more originals.

Hourly Comic Day 2023

Despite being home sick I was able to participate in hourly comic day this year. Turns out sitting on the couch with brain fog and feeling terrible is conducive to writing hourly comics. 

Airtable as a website for selling comics?

 A few years ago I stumbled onto the web app called Airtable. I was already a heavy user of spreadsheets to organise information, but Airtable came along and offered so much more. I've played with it on an off over the years trying out a variety of applications but despite how much I liked it I never felt I found a practical reason to use it (other than it's fun). 

This year I found some new uses for it and fell in love with it all over again. It got me thinking, could I use Airtable as a place to showcase and sell comics. Better still, could I do it on their free plan?

The answer is yes and no...

I'll keep playing with it, but for now here's a proof of concept of what might be possible.
