Proposal Clastic Phap

The ability to make someone laugh is not an easy skill and making them laugh though illustrations is another skill entirely. This is what most my work is about; making people laugh. It is a quality that I feel is very important to the art world and one that I feel is easily forgotten.

One on one people are very different. Knowing that it’s hard to make work that everyone will laugh at. That’s when shock value comes into play. Shock value works for my style and for the style of the chapbook. Its because the work can be viewed very quickly and seen for what it is. Working in a six panels or page spread limits the space and story line that each chapbook can contain.

Plastic Coat is meant to be a short series of work that can be connected linearly, but doesn’t need to be read in order. They are intended to be crude and vulgar, but keeping the idea of what a mini comic is in mind. The idea is not to create something that is to be framed or kept in high regard not to be damaged. They are meant to be passed around from one person to another. The idea is to work as a self-promotion tool kind of like a business card. One person may find the first, second, fifth issue and laugh show it to friend and then that friend might seek it out or might just go online to view more of my work. Since the books are so quickly read it’s easy for people get though.

The Plastic Coat series is also a free. Making the copies takes time and effort, but the final project will not cost anyone their hard earned money. I will be making an addition of twenty-five new chapbooks for at least four new issues to be presented to the class. They will continue from the first issue that the class already received.

Outline Schedule

Tuesday have two comics done. Ready for print.

Thursday the other tow done. Ready for print

Well for my article I chose to right about you guessed it good olde time yanking material. But not just any spank mags these ones have toon boobies. YEAH:D There these funny old little books called The Tijuana Bible. Well that's an over all term, but they lead the way for the present day comix we have today. Which are pretty fun to read next time your at the comic store check them out. Don't be embarrassed all true comic nerds in those stores have all ready read all of them. They won't think your a perv. Even though you probably are. Check it outhttp://groups.google.com/group/plastic-coat/files

Subway in a Flasch

Well I made back my expenses from making the book. Thats more than I could have hoped for. I sold the book to some friends and then at the Joan Flasch artist book collection. The Joan Flasch Book collection was an easy proses all you had to do was fill out some forms and it was done. I'm expecting the check in the mail. It was really simple. And I still have two left. I', saving one for my mommy. I was happy with how this project turned out. It was really fun to make and the people that have it now have a toy they can play with. 

First Book done!!!!!!

Yeah I finally got a fancy new book made just for me. It feels good knowing that my comics are going to made semipro and if they look good then I can order more n send them out with portfolio stuff. The work is just a compilation of my comics. Hope its nice. I was thinking after it gets revised of making a facebook page that links it up and try to get others to by it and promote it that way. Heres the cover.

Everything went easy as can be. Didn't have any problems I could see but I have to wait for the finished product.

So for my distribution I deicided to send leave some people some bathroom reading material. I left them in the restroom at McDonalds.

A Work IN PRogress {review}

The first thing to strike me about the book was the cover. Didn't really understand the connection to how it fit in until i saw that the font and back cover used to be one drawing and that may that itself was a work in progress. Still would have liked to see a Title on the cover though. 

Once opening you are greeted by a nice little title page that explains the inner workings of the zine. It is mostly filled with poetry that switches from overtly sexual to childlike wonderment of life. She also includes some drawing to push the zine further and the work inside stays interesting through out. 

Zine update

Well I spent most of the weekend searching for and downloading different fonts. Think I downloaded like 35 - 40 new fonts. I also have been messing around with the layouts. It been going slow and steady. Now all that is left to do it get the pages printed and stapled.
