I am a certified art teacher in the state of NY who has yet to find a full time art teaching position since graduating with my masters 2 years ago. Instead of sitting back and letting myself feel depressed with the situation I have, among other freelance and part time work, been working on my webcomic Penguin Mansion. Though the comics target audience are children there are some nuggets for adults who still are in touch with their inner child too. Why am I asking for help then? Please read below for the details.
The reason why I am asking for help is that by the end of the month I am meeting with a prospective publisher. I am fine with content to show the publisher since I have been working on the comic for 2 years now with the development of the characters and story reaching as far back as 5 years. Also an added bonus is that I have met with the same publisher 5 years ago when all I had were the characters and storyboards. I was told when I had more to come back and that they saw potential in my work.
So that brings me to why I think I could use some help and what I am asking for from all of you. To get the amount of comics I needed I stopped posting comics to my website. Since I have not been releasing any new comics of course my unique visitors dwindled. I just realized that if I could show the publisher a large number of visitors it could help with acquiring the publishing deal. So if you all could go to my site. Look at the comic yourself and if you truly enjoy it or think your kids or nieces and nephews would enjoy it recommend it or show it to them. I would greatly appreciate your help. Again the site is located here: Penguin Mansion
Thanks again for anyone who reads this and finds enjoyment from the comic.
