Published at last

Well,  I thought I would do things backwards publish first, then blog.
I turned 49 this year and have wondered about being cartoonist since I was15, vowed to make it happen this year.
After years of scratching my head to find a product other than a cartoon strip or one boxer, as these are dependant on syndication which is, I found out a 5000 to1 chance of acceptance.
A comic !!!! these can now be self published very easily through Amazon's KDP kindle direct publishing, log in through your Amazon username if you have.
There are I'm sure other ways but this I found the easiest and least expensive.
First step in January was to purchase ( thanks to my flexible friend ) software and hardware to run it on. The program I've chosen is Manga 5EX, check out system requirements and buy PC to fit.
Manga 5EX takes you from sketch to public, comic or illustration, I paid 94.00 pounds which is a bargain compared to Photoshop or Coral and it does more, excellent support and how to video's.
to actually draw on I treated myself to a Wacom Tablet 13HD, what a lovely piece of kit this is.
So PC, Tablet and Software , it's off we go.
Google search "oliandcompo" and all will be revealed.
Website in August
