NaBloPoMo 2009 - Game On!

For the fourth consecutive year, I'll be participating in November's National Blog Posting Month, a blogging alternative to National Novel Writing Month. Although there is no official theme for the month, SPCHQ's unofficial theme will be SEQUENTIAL ART, a.k.a. comics.

Unfortunately, I am not a sequential artist. (Of course, I've never tried, either. Perhaps I'm still traumatized by those elementary school art teachers praising my table partner's work while dismissing mine as "that's not good". Gah. It still pains me to think how much of my burgeoning creativity was reduced to dust by years of public and Cat-lik schools. But I digress.)

Since I can't really draw well (and don't have the time right now to complete Abel & Madden's awesome self-directed course in Drawing Words, Writing Pictures), I'll be posting commentary, resources, and (finally) reviews of comics and books I've picked up at this year's Small Press Expo (SPX), as well as a few things from other cons. The focus will be on indie, small press, mini, and alternative comics. (In simplest terms, no Marvel, no DC, no Dark Horse, no Image.)

What I really need are some cool logos that I can use in the sidebar and on posts, as opposed to the craptacular text-only masterpieces I slammed together. Anyone interested in doing a little logo with the phrases "NaBloPoMo 2009" and "A Month of (mostly indie) Sequential Art", let me know or just send it along as a jpeg to the e-mail address in the sidebar. If I use it, I'll link it up to your own site. Any takers?
