It’s time to start gathering your documents to prepare for tax season once again.
Along those lines, here are some links to sites with helpful information.

Thank you to John Bogenschutz for sharing the process behind his convention set-up.
I’ve been doing the convention scene for a little over a year now (somewhat new at this so take it with a grain of salt), but already my booth has transformed a lot during that time. The biggest change was the fact that I started out with a 10′ x 10′ booth and now use a 10′ x 20′ booth size. Sure it’s double the cost but it is well worth it for what I have to offer to my customers.

As I mentioned in an earlier post, ad revenue tends to plummet in the first part of the year. Most businesses are reassessing their budgets in the first quarter, and most of them habitually cut back on spending until those budgets are cleared. It’s especially noticeable coming after November and December, when ad budgets are ablaze with holiday-shopping promotion. It’s a steep drop that puts me into an annual panic.
And right around now, you’re probably getting “helpful advice” from your ad networks, like this…

Thank you to member Chris Hart for sharing his process on creating halftones. Click on the images to see them larger. Please note: These instructions are meant for producing halftome bitmaps for print. To create a halftone bitmap that’s going to look good on the Web, there are a few extra steps.

There’s a pretty level-headed piece from First Second Books making the rounds that discusses an important topic in comics: When to give up. It’s worth your time to read.
It’s written from very much the same standpoint as a site post I did here back in 2010 titled “If It All Falls Down.” From that post:

As happens from time to time in webcomics, we’re entering another period of time in which creators are being inundated with a lot of amazing claims. As you’ve seen in the forum, new webcomic aggregator sites (like this one and this one) seem to be on the rise. And my inbox is full of people who are trying to make sense of amazing claims of new business models and overnight success that they’re hearing from other sources.
So let’s take a moment to try to make sense of it all.

So, here’s the deal. Ordinarily, I’d post this kind of thing here as members-only content, but the truth of the matter is that I have a personal connection to the story. That personal connection was the reason I never posted about Bill Day’s historic IndieGoGo campaign here in the first place.
Please… keep that in mind the next time I have to moderate someone here on self-promotion. I hold myself to the same standard — heck, a stricter one. I could have easily rationalized posting about this fund-rasier here, saying that it held the potential to be the first time a political cartoonist used crowd-sourcing to fund his annual slary. But the fact of the matter is that Bill Day holds a special place in my esteem, and I wouldn’t have been able to convice me that the post wasn’t self-promotion-by-proxy.

Recently, DaFont came across my radar and I checked it out. At first glance, I was troubled. It looked as if people upload fonts to the site and then others download it for free. Many of them are marked “free for personal use,” but then, when you dig, you get this information about the licensing:

Same rules as always. I discuss the participants and then open up the conversation to you. The theme is “composition.”
