People don’t like creases in posters! I know that I was taught never to fold art. So I devised a very uh… thrifty… method to prevent such crimes.
This is how I will be mailing my posters via letter-size envelopes. Would anyone be interested in this method? It’s about $18 cheaper than the alternative (mailing tubes).
Also feel free to try this out because I think it could be helpful to many.
Oh, and if there are concerns about me taping to the printed side, it is actually easier to peel off the tape from the oil-based ink. :)
I think I’m going to use this method for my prints because I tried it and just sat on it and it withstood the force of my butt.
This is fantastic.
Canada Post charges over $20 to ship a poster tube to the States. Joodlez, your contributions to society will not go unrecognized.
I might actually start doing prints again
This method may greatly depend on what kind of paper your prints are made with. I tried it out on a blank sheet of my poster stock, and while it certainly didn’t crease, it did leave a dent when I pressed down on the tube.
I also think there’s a step missing here? What’s this about double-sided tape? Because I don’t think I want tape sticking to the surface of my print. :(

It’s been MANY years since I mounted anything.
Hey, Alex, did you go to art school or are you self taught?
I have a bachelor of fine art from Ohio State. :) My school didn’t have a cartooning program, so I concentrated in Art & Technology and learned how to make holograms and robots.
But before and since, the majority of my comics technique has been self taught.

Have you ever wanted to have dinner with LeVar Burton? Or maybe try on his Star Trek visor? Also wanna help kids all over the world read and learn cool things? WELL NOW YOU CAN!
LeVar Burton— my dad— has started a new kickstarter (click the link) to fund his awesome Reading Rainbow app. The prizes are really cool and involve people like Patrick Stewart and Laurence Fishburne!
If you can donate 5 dollars, please do. If you can afford more, you rock. If you can’t, please signal boost to do your part!
We’re counting on you, Tubmlr— the community of nerds and awesome people.
This is way better than my approach to improve literacy.
Go fund this! And even if you don’t/can’t, reblog to get the word out!
Y’all need to watch the video. For srs.

Meanwhile in an alternate universe
The Avengers are cancelling the apocalypse in Jaegers of their own.
I think I’ve died and gone to fanboy heaven

Wait, if that’s not a peach pencil, WHAT IS IT?!
I only had a 12-color basic set on me, so it’s a mix of orange, light brown, red, white, violet blue for some of the shading, and LOTS AND LOTS OF BLENDING with a colorless blending pencil.
