Here’s a fun example of selling your by-products: The Texas Observer ran one of my cartoons in a feature on The Minor Mishap Marching Band in their November ’09 issue.
I drew the band at the Austinist Local Music Is Sexy event and the writer (and band member) Michael May saw the drawings and T.O. bought one. (Thanks, Michael!)
My friend Marsha Riti has a photo in the feature as well.
Pardon the crummy iPhone shots…
I’m teaching a visual thinking for writers workshop here in Austin next month. (View a few slides from my previous class.)
Description:
As visual thinkers, we concentrate a lot on pictures, but rarely on words. Join us at the next Vizthink Austin, where we’ll learn visual thinking techniques that can help us become better writers. Using simple school supplies that can be found at any corner drugstore, we’ll step away from the computer and make writing with our hands, using index cards, scissors, and even old comic books. Whether you’re trying to write an office e-mail, a grant application, or even The Great American Novel, this session will help!
