Just in case you hadn't heard, I'm back on Kickstarter for a print run of my latest book!
You & I, with 28 pages of story, bravely navigates the complex and baffling social constructs that regularly smack us in the face: loneliness, disconnectedness, overwhelm, culture clash, and even boredom. These seven full-color vignettes, some set in real life, others in fantasy, explore trust, empathy, openness, resilience, and more. You might find yourself in one of these sketches – or maybe in all of them!
PDFs are available for just $3, and the book itself for $10 ($7 if you can get one of the remaining early bird slots!) We're already at 59% funded after only 5 days! Check it out today!
Alright! Well. Going to attempt to not jinx myself here but I THINK my arms are back to good drawing shape so I'll hopefully be back on my regular schedule with 5 x 3 on Wednesday and Buy/Sell/Exit on Friday. Thank you for sticking with me during this unexpected break and special thank you to those of you that were kind enough to send me a tip while I was away.
Hey all, sorry for the lack of update for 5 x 3 on Wednesday, and I'm sorry to report there will be no Buy/Sell/Exit today. I'm taking a bit of a forced vacation due to pain in my arms that makes it difficult to draw. Word to the wise, artists need to stretch regularly and get exercise.
I haven't drawn anything since Tuesday and I'm itching to get back at it. I'm largely feeling better, but jumping back too early is why I'm in my current state. So I'm taking 'til Monday to recover, when I hope to be back with a new Buy/Sell/Exit.
In the mean time, feel free to check out my twitter and instagram (both @erossura) to see some of the art that's caused this vacation, haha.
If you're so inclined, I'd encourage you to become a patron at www.patreon.com/erossura, buy me a metaphorical coffee (I prefer tea) at https://ko-fi.com/A763DST, or watch some videos on the Tapas app and toss a few coins my way. You guys are the reason I'm here and your support means the world to me.
Thanks for being the 200th subscriber to Don't Be A Hero, E. Ross Ura! I hope you'll enjoy your stay. I also started to check out 5 x 3, and I'm digging the humour, so I subscribed too.
Hey everyone! I just wanted to let you know that I'm changing up the posting schedule for both Buy/Sell/Exit and 5 x 3.
Buy/Sell/Exit will post on Mondays and Fridays at 3PM EST.
5 x 3 will post on Wednesdays at 11AM EST.
2017 is going to be my prep year for hitting the convention circuit in 2018, so I'll be working on some big exciting new projects. I'll be sure to share more information as these projects develop!
Hey Tapastic Friends! For this month, and this month only, I'm offering a special deal to new Patreon Supporters. Been looking for a new avatar for social media? Look no further!
Hey friends! Long time no talk. Actually, not sure I've ever sent something for all of my subscribers. Anyway!
Just wanted to see how you're all doing on this lovely Saturday morning. Now's a great time to catch up on old episodes of 5 x 3 or Buy/Sell/Exit that you've missed!
So what are you all reading/creating these days? Anything you'd like to share?
Having a great day thanks! Really digging your comic; it's tough to come up with a one-panel punchline. I'm just plugging away at my comic and trying to post some of my older ones (reformatted vertically). Is there a way to change the order i.e. post older comics before newer ones in the series? Thanks!
Thanks! I'm glad you're enjoying it. Unfortunately I think the only way to do that would be to delete the newer ones and repost them after putting up the earlier ones, which obviously is less than ideal.
