Who knew that getting paper cut at Kinkos could make me so happy. Why? I’ll tell you why in a little post I’d like to call:

Tips for the Indie Comic Artist:

Tip #1: Sure you can buy lined paper that’s 11 X 17 with the 10 X 15 inch drawing area all lined out for you. And if you want the good paper (the kind that will hold up to erasing and not bleed when you ink) you’ll be paying over $20 + shipping for 12 sheets or so.

OR

You could buy a 14 X 17 pad of Strathmore Bristol Board for $10-$11 for 15 to 20 sheets…then go to Kinkos and pay $1.50 for them to cut the whole pad down to size. Sure, you’ll have to measure out the drawing area yourself, but boo-hoo. Not only did you save $10, you didn’t have to wait for UPS to deliver it.

Now go draw some comics!
