3.) BEST FAN ARTIST:
(Now, I know what you’re thinking. “Fan Artist”? Well, because of some leftover definitions from the “traditional” print world, my work falls into the nebulous region between “professional” artist and “fan” artist. Such is life, as a webcartoonist.)

LONG VERSION: Press proofs came in, and the above video takes you through all the different parts of the book production! It’s pretty neat to see, if you’ve never seen all the parts that go into a book.

Hey gang!
This past weekend, I met a few employees from Reddit, and they talked me into starting a subreddit for DRIVE. So, voila, check it out:
reddit.com/r/drivecomic
I’ll be honest. I haven’t…loved…the Disqus system on the DRIVE site. So! In anticipation of designing the new DRIVE site in the upcoming months, I thought we’d try Reddit over Disqus.
Reddit is the fifth-largest website on the internet, and most (all?) of us have interfaced with it once or twice, at minimum. The up-vote system is brilliant, and there’s a broadly understood segmentation of ideas/conversations under different “Posts”.
So! It’s a process: We’ll try this out, and see how folks like it. In the meantime, feel free to chime in at the subreddit…and see what you think!
