Sad news from Anne Hambrock about her blog Spot the Cartoonist:
Also, since launching this site, I started the Kenosha Festival of Cartooning and am also working on developing a speaker’s bureau for cartoonists and, frankly, those endeavors take a tremendous amount of time and energy and will probably yield better results as far as getting the public to be excited about meeting cartoonists.
So, the bottom line is that I am putting this site on hiatus and may suspend it permanently. For the time being I will leave it up as an archive and, if I start getting input from a lot of people that they want me to continue it, I will.
I know first hand the amount of effort it takes to compile information for the masses. Not an easy gig.
Compiling information for the masses is probably just as profitable as publishing a cartooning magazine and traveling a cartoon art exhibit. Maybe I should take over Spot the Cartoonist for Anne!
I have added a Comics Calendar of Events to my site. It mostly has Comic Cons listed, but anyone having a book signing or appearance is more than welcome to email me the info and I’ll add it. It’s here: http://pub20.bravenet.com/calendar/show.php?usernum=1668385694
