We've got about 36 or so "Contributors" to the blog but only a handful of people who actually are contributing. Anyone have any ideas how we can get some of these people to post more art on the blog?

I'm just never pleased enough with anything I make.

But mostly it's laziness.

Gonna put something in for the contest though.

I could mention it to ADA?? lol maybe more advertisement?? i think for awhile we'd have to post some kick ass stuff to attract more people... juss a thought

narco, there are plenty of other sites for that if you're interested. i think butters has a great idea. lets post some kick ass shit and separate the real from the fake! all the lazy ones shall fall by the wayside!

Kick Ass stuff? Hmm. I just started reading the series. I guess I could draw a version of Kick Ass or that little girl with the swords.

Narciso said...

The kick ass work is already in progress.

Narciso said...

That, and we haven't rotated the Area 221 board in a year...

Happypeepeehead said...

I dunno if I can show something that kicks ass but what I'm working on has a lot of ass. (working on coloring it)

N/A said...

you mean the board outside the illustration room? yea that def needs rotation

Narciso said...

This club should have meetings.

here's an idea. If we started publishing small books every year featuring the best work from that year, do you think people would be more motivated to post some more sick illustration work? of course this brings up new questions like who would pay for it, and who would judge the artwork submitted to be in the book? most importantly, would it work?

Narciso said...

Pratt is doing something like that. I got one of their books during NYCC in April.

Of course, they have money, but still, it made me want to work.

I definitely thought we should be doing things like that as soon as I saw them.

Publishing costs probably would doable for a small run if all contributors chip in. Check out Regent Publishing's costs.

Korean and Chinese publishers are pretty damn cheap. We just have to worry that they don't use some material that would kill the reader.

Narciso said...

Why doesn't this club meet again?

N/A said...

Narciso said...

That works.
