Horsey Headface

I made the other day for some reason?

I was using the vector program Inkscape the other day.

I was going to create an image for something else originally. I have a song single coming out and it needed some cover art. 

So I fired up the program but when I first opened it I had my Wacom tablet hooked up and just started sketching something to warm up.

For some reason I just sketched a boy waving "howdy" and dressed kinda like a cowboy on a ranch. I don't know why?

I thought, "That's weird?" But then I was like, whatever and kept going. 

So I outlined the drawing in vector shapes and filled them in with colors and stuff. 

Then I had this.

And then I kept going. I gave it a green background and put some cloud lines in the sky. I roughed up the edges of the clouds with the object sculpting tool. That tool randomizes the edges of the vector shapes.

But then I just started goofing around and thought I'd give it a horse head. You know... for the kids! 

Again I don't know why 😄

So I drew a big vector shape on the side of its head and moved the mouth to the end and put ears on it.

Thought of a silly name to call it and there you go! Horsey Headface.

How I use one Gmail address for multiple Soundcloud accounts

Do you know the Gmail "+" trick to use one email for multiple accounts on one service? Here's a little trick I use that works for any service.  I talked about this on the podcast episode I did with artist Mortimur K . In this case, let's say I used up all the uploads I have for my free Soundcloud account . With this trick, I can open a new free account and use the same Gmail address. I don't want to create another Gmail account to sign up again.  Using my one Gmail address for multiple accounts on the same service I don't remember when I learned this but you can alter the name on a Gmail address. Like, let's say mine is "tom@gmail.com". To be clear that is not my email. I wish it was, but this is just a short example. Start with the original Gmail address Add a "+" after the email name Where it says "tom" on the address I can put a "+" after that. Add a "+" after the email name After that "+" I ca

Can I Buy And Resell Copies Of My Own Book From Amazon KDP?

There are two questions that I get asked about publishing my webcomic books on Amazon KDP . 1 - Can I Order A Print Copy Of My Own Book From Amazon KDP? When I started printing on Amazon KDP I also had that question. The reason I put the books together is I was just kind of doing it for myself. I could make a paperback version of my webcomic books and then I and my family could get a copy. It didn't even occur to me that I could actually start selling the book in public.  I thought it was just print-on-demand and then maybe I could order one.  But when I print a book on Amazon KDP I can also get up to 999 copies and sell it on my own!  I was able to get my own copies from Amazon KDP sent to me.  As the author, I can get them at printing cost . So they're at a discounted price. The option to order author copies is right in the KDP publishing setup.  The button is next to the book in KDP. 👇 The other question I get about publishing my book on Amazon KDP... 2 - Can I Sell My A
