RAVILOB

Well, as you may have noticed, I have gone back to drawing the simpler black and white comic strips.  I really enjoyed how the full color comic book sized pages looked and I was quickly (relativly speaking)  getting the hang  on laying them out.  However, you may have noticed a sudden lack of “promptitude”, may i say “ontimeyness”.  Well turns out, I get reeeally burnt out on projects that take longer than two hours every other night.  The problem began when I found myself working (note: work is the antithesis of fun) every night on what began as a fun hobby.  While I still enjoyed finishing the pages and getting them posted, I felt like a hypocrite everytime I looked at the from page of my comic. “Updating every MON. WED. and FRI.”  I thought it would be much more accurate to add “Once a month”

So, heres what I’m thinking.  From now on, MON WED and FRI are the standard black and white comic strips you all know and love.  While sporadically (for awhile) I’ll post short full color comic book pages on the weekends.  The whole point for the comic book pages is so that I can collect them together as full books someday.

Hopefully this will also allow me to ATTEND a couple more comic cons this year. I missed out on a couple brand new ones last year I REALLY wanted to go to.  Not to mention, make some actual quality products for all you lucky people.   

Keep checking back and keep speading the word,,, RAVILOB, The Little Town that AWESOME Built  is back,,,, and ontime   (for now).

Cancelled  Due to finacial difficulties, I will NOT be attending the upcoming SPACE show.

I will be down at the Small Pres and Comic Expo this weekend, April 18-19, in Columbus Ohio.  Look for me near the rear and to the right. I’ll be selling exclusive Ravilob T-shirts and giving away Mini comics reprinting Morts first adventure, and Whitneys introduction adventure.  FREE STUFF!!! How can you say NO?

I’ll be down at Megacon on Saturday next weekend.  Most of the day will be spent tracking down webcartoonists and buying lotsa swag.  I wont have a table, I’ll just be wandering around doing my part to stimulate the economy.  Will anyone else be going to the show?  If you see me, be sure to say “Hi”*, I’ll be wearing a Chi-Ki-Ta-Cabra T-shirt. Saturday after the show i’ll be heading back up to Savannah GA to get my drink on.

Later, party people

Hey every body,
Thought i’d be a good content provider and let everyone know that I’ll be taking a 2 week vacation from Ravilob. I know what you’re saying, “but Casey, You have been missing updates alot lately. Shouldnt that count as a vacation?” and I’ll say “NO, Tim, it doesnt.”
See, I’ve been getting a bit too stressed lately on the comic and a fellow Art-eest suggested a break. So thats why I’ll be gone for a few days.
Heres the fun part though, if you would like to draw a guest strip or have some fun fan art that you would like to share, nows the time to send it in. If I receive anything I’ll post it as well as a link to your own site. That and you will also have my unending thanks.   You can send it to either  casey@ravilob.com or click the “contact casey” button to the right, above the webcomics inc button. PLEASE dont send too large a file.  If i cant shrink them down i’ll try and ask you to send a smaller file, but then you may lose your place in line.  

UPDATE:  Here are a few notes that some of you may be interested in:

So what i’m looking for is three guest comics or fan art for the coming week (feb2-feb4-feb6). If i receive more than that I’ll post the others on intemitent days (tues,thurs).  I would prefer the comics to be at max 11″(inches) wide and no more than 11″(inches)tall. Although my comic is only 4″(inches) tall, and sized at 72dpi. This is not a contest. All material will either be used in the given week or kept on file to be used later or returned at the senders request.

All guest strips will be kept in the RAVILOB archive as well as a link to your site and/or email address. Fan art will be presented in a seperate page reserved for fan art, along with your url link and/or email.

I would prefer that you either mention or use an existing RAVILOB character in your guest comic or fan art. I will allow mild cursing, how ever NO NUDITY! Think of my site as PG to PG-13.

All material can be sent to: casey@ravilob.com

Thats all folks, see you on the ninth!
