C06 Cover – Talking to Gods

September 7, 2012

WOW!! I am so blown away by your feedback on the last update!! You all provided so much valuable insight and I am SO VERY EXCITED to apply what I learned from the discussion! I cannot thank you guys enough! You are all AMAZING!! I have the best readers in the whole world. *hugs you all!*

Lots of thoughts rolling about in my head lately, so I decided to put some of them into a video. Trying something different than what I usually do – more of a ramble/chat format. The topic: What kind of artist are you?

ALSO! This is the last week to submit your auditions for the LeyLines book trailer! Script and more info here!

FYI – you do more to foster good conversations with your readers than any other comic artist I’ve encountered online. That’s part of what drew me in as a regular reader.

So, yeah, you’ve collected a pretty thoughtful, communicative group of fans, but that’s due in no small part to the ways you engage with the people who pass through your space.


Thank you so much!! It’s really important to me that visiting this site can be more than just consuming content, but the chance to have an experience. Having direct contact with the creator always seemed the most unique thing about online publishing.

But I still think most of the credit lies in how awesome all of you are. :)


Two things: Amazing Cover page!
–and–
Third time I’ve watched/listened to this video and it still inspires me and lets me know I’m not alone in my fight to help people learn that they already ARE creative. Thank you, Sister Robin! ? :`D

I’ve helped dozens of adults quietly learn to allow themselves to create art and/or sing who had given up after being brutalised as children by being told to “mouth the words”, etc. by elementary school teachers or choirmasters, and being laughed at by other children.

A story: One man (age40)I sat at the piano with and asked him to try to sing back each note as I played it on the piano went red as beet, was literally shaking with fear, and his hands dripped with sweat. All we had to do was find his vocal range. He could hit those notes perfectly. He has since gone on to write and record his own songs. I get so mad at the DIS-ablers out there! Therefore bless you, Robin and others like you who ENable and RE-ENable people around their creativity.


Your story had me tearing up a little! I know what it’s like to be held back by fear, and to have someone help you overcome it.

When I was young, I was dancing and singing around the house. It was really annoying my little sister, and eventually she snapped, “Robin, stop it, you’re ugly when you dance!” I was so crushed!! For all of my teenage years I was petrified of even attempting to dance. Every time, I’d hear that ringing in my head. Finally, in college, one of my friends decided to throw an 80s dance party. I really wanted to go, but I was so scared. She said, “It’s the 80s — big hair, big make-up, big fun! Dress up so crazy that nobody will be paying attention to your dancing.”

So I tried it.

And it worked. :) Now instead of thinking how “ugly” I am when I dance, I think of having a grand ol’ time clomping around in 3-inch fake skin-snake Good-Will boots, purple sequins, bright orange eye-make-up, and hair teased a foot off my head.

It sounds like you’ve given others that same gift with music. I’m so honored to have somebody like you keeping me company on this journey! Let’s keep helping the world learn!


Aww.. What a sweet story!I’m going to add it to my “See! People CAN overcome these kinds of fears!” list. :`D So we’re even again. I teared up a little from that one.

Great slogan: “Keep Helping the World Learn!” ? :`D


Woman, we are too much alike I swear to god. I’ve been wanting to help people learn and inspire them to create for a long time now. Day job has been getting in the way. Stupid day job. And I love the way that you engage your readership. I want to do the same so badly but sometimes… I just have a car chase on a page and there’s nothing really “conversational” about it! So I end up just throwing the page in the queue.


Whenever I have pages like that, I try to talk about something I’ve been thinking about totally unrelated to the page. Or thinking about other media I’ve consumed regarding the content of that page — have you ever asked anybody what their favorite car chase was in a film?


(I see that stuffed Appa behind you. You cannot imagine the depths of my jealousy.)

Also. Epic cover page.

You know, if this whole independent-creator/engineer thing doesn’t work out, you could always be a motivational speaker. I would pay you to stand behind me and say stuff like this all the time.


Appa is my hug buddy. If I’m ever home alone and feeling blue, he’s always there for me.

I’ve actually thought about motivational speaking, but never thought people would go for it. I really enjoy public speaking!!


(That’s my Totoro.)

I can tell. You can’t fake the rhythm of actually enjoying an audience. (I like public speaking too. But I have no idea what I would speak about.)
