"Journaling Advice" by Madelyn Washington + Samax Amen

In Our Own Voices, Redux is a series of essays by librarians, about librarianship. One of the contributors is Madelyn Washington, a paid member of my fan club AMENsiders.  Instead of the usual chart or graph to enhance her entry, Madelyn contacted me to help her make a one page comic.

A 30 Minute Drawing inspired by a new hip hop single

Everyone knows I love hip hop music and comics, so it's not unusual that I geek to songs Easter-egged with comics references, so these drawings happen on occasion.

Wanna make a comic strip with me?

They say "do what you love and you'll never work a day of your life!"
So I would LOVE to draw your comic strip!

Cartoon Portrait Prices Set to Increase THIS WEEKEND

Yeah, I have been holding off a price increase on my Cartoon Portraits for a while, but I have reached the point of no return.  The price on almost all of my custom art products will be going up.  The sporadic nature of the business requires me to build in security by charging more.  Since my Cartoon Portraits are my most popular product, I figured I would let people know before changing the prices.

The Week in Reverse- highlights from January 28-February 3rd

It was a nice busy week...

One Christmas gift down...

I drew Asgardian Storm as a Christmas gift for my BFF Camisha, who is probably the biggest Storm fan in the world.  Looks like she got it in the mail this week...

Have a great week!

Biting Is Wack

Sigh...  I really don't have time to write this post, but it seems that I must briefly address a little bit of art theft. 

3 Steps to Killing the "Starving Artist" mindset (and some new art) by Samax

Here's a piece I did for an art contest on Facebook. I hate contests for all sorts of reasons, but I took it as an opportunity to start a discussion about the "Starving Artist Mindset" and the importance of teaching artists of all sorts to overcome it.
