Halfway home

I've reached the halfway point with the inking of issue 1 of Business Cat, and am experiencing a strange mix of emotions, half happy, half sad.

Happy because I'm now halfway through a crucial step in the process of making issue 1, but sad because I feel as if it's a pointless exercise. This is my negative side speaking, l know, but it has been frustrating putting in a lot of hard work on social media as well as drawing for little rewards. I also know this is the petulant child in me that expects to be an overnight success. It's hard dealing with these emotions when I am so proud of what I have created with Business Cat. 

So what next? I carry on, that's what. I get issue 1 done and ready to print. If the Kickstarter doesn't hit its target, I'll set it rolling again. It will happen. PDF versions of the finished book will go out to a select few for review, with the hope that they will spread the word too. I want this project to work, and believe it has real value to those wanting to start their own business. 

Thanks for listening.

Promo video is done!

I've made a promo video for our new self help business comic, starring BUSINESS CAT! For some reason, Kickstarter isn't letting it upload, so you can watch it here...

Business Cat issue 1 Kickstarter is live...

Over the weekend, amidst bonding with our new puppy and celebrating Fathers Day by skateboarding, the Kickstarter page for Business Cat issue 1: Lets start a business went live.

Now you can pledge and get your hands on a psychical copy of my self help business comic when it has been printed. There are rewards available at different pledge points, including sketched copies, exclusive prints and original artwork!

Thank you for your support.

Business Cat issue 1

For the last four years, I've been trying to write a book about starting your own business, and all the fun and excitement that process brings. I want to share some of the fun and joy that being your own boss gives you. 

I've written a few drafts, knowing it is going to have plenty of illustrations in it, but it's just not come together for me.

A few months back it hit me. The book should be a comic book. Comics are what I love and what I do best. I don't think that a business comic book that helps people has been done before. I've finished the first draft, and have started drawing the finished artwork. There has also been a foreword written by Stuart Carter, who set me the challenge of finishing the first draft too!

There is a Kickstarter being set up, which should go live next week for those of you who want to invest in the first issue. All investors will have their name in the finished comic, and there will be some really cool extras up for grabs too. More on that next week!

For now, here is the first page of issue one to whet your appetite. Enjoy!
