New TFTI review !
“Part Jodorowsky, part Futurama, with a hint of Rick and Morty thrown into the mix; Interface is a mind-bending adventure that every sci-fi fan should experience. Tales from the Interface is mind candy of the first order!”
Check out the rest of the review here
Did I ever tell you about Tabulit? It’s an awesome site for discovering new comics, including TFTI. It’s cool for many reasons and one of them is that they actually pay their artists. Another one is that it’s based in Montréal. It’s full of great talents so definitely something to look into for your comic fix.
The reason I bring it up is because they’ve just launched a Kickstarter for their first anthology. It looks like it’s going to be great. Furr will be a 6 x 9 book, consisting of over 100 pages of comics, as well as illustrations about cats. More specifically, the comics will involve the artists’ personal stories of their cats, or their experiences with cats.
I contributed an illustration to it, you can check it out on the project’s page.
I’ve said it before: Whatever you do, never be boring. I much rather see a fun but flawed drawing than a perfectly drawn character standing in front of the camera. This is something I see a lot from inexperienced artist. There is so much you can do… Here are some example of different compositions you can try to “jazz” things up a bit… All done by the one and only Wally Wood. I loved his work in the EC comics.
I always aim to improve my work. This is why your feedback is so important to me. As much as I like hearing that you loved something, constructive criticism is also crucial for my improvement and development. Here are some of the findings I got from my book. Some of you who are thinking of launching your own, might find this useful.
I’m satisfied how the campaign worked out. I will definitely do this again when the time comes. My goal was never to fully fund the printing, although it was tremendously less stressful to already have most of the funds ready to pay the printer. What I found more useful was to get a feel of how many books I had to produce to meet demand.
I do get a lot of good comments, especially on Webtoon, from people who like my stories. But after posting Ixian and Trinket, I’m not sure that including short stories like this is something people like so much. Perhaps staying on course with the main story is a better choice. I really don’t know about this, so your feedback would be really nice here. One’s thing for sure, the main story has barely begun. I can’t wait to share with you the next chapter… Check my instagram for sneak peaks….
Obviously to a lot of you I bet, I’m not a native anglophone. So yeah some weird sentences or errors will popup I’m sure. If they do, please let me know. I can’t afford to have my comics reviewed professionally. That would be really nice, but I don’t foresee it happening anytime soon.
While a lot of people like bonus content, here’s a few things I will aim to change in my next issue:
Shipping is still troublesome, one thing I found out though is that I can ship my books for less than $5 as long as it is within Canada. What does suck is that the clerks will often try to sell you the more expensive solution and you sometime have to insist. I haven’t any way of cutting shipping cost for US & International. My best hope now would be to find a way to stock and ship items from within these countries. Sadly with my small volume of order, I don’t see it as a possibility.
This is just a quick list of things that came to my mind, If I find more, I will add them here.
If you have anything to contribute, please don’t be shy or think you will hurt my feelings. I need this because most people will never say anything when something doesn’t work for them.
I had an awesome time at the fantasticon on Sunday. I always have a blast having a chat with the very passionate and lively group in my region. Big thanks to the organizers.
Une belle journée au Fantasticon hier. Toujours agréable de revoir mes amis du milieu de la BD. Une vraie gang de passionnés. Merci à tous ceux qui sont passés et un autre grand merci aux organisateurs! J’apprécie particulièrement qu’ils aient mis les artistes au centre du salon.
Un gros merci à Jean Marquis de La boite à BD de Laval qui a capturé ce moment en vidéo. Mes BDs seront disponible à sa librairie. Allez y faire un tour!
TFTI is a Iabor of love, but it requires time, effort and money. Your donation will help finance this project. If you're in a position to help, it would be greatly appreciated.
