What dimensions, pixel count, etc. Do I use for my webcomics?

What dimensions, pixel count, et cetera, are best for print?

It depends on which webcomic project I'm drawing.

For my webcomic diary "Then This Happened...", I found a happy medium for Instagram and print. When I first started out making that one, I made them the size of a tall comic book page. What happened was, that when I started posting that to Instagram, it would get cut off. It was too long.

So I kind of changed the sizes a little bit. I still wanted to keep it in a vertical format so what I ended up using for the diary webcomic is 1000px wide by 1200px tall. And for the DPI, I use 350 for print.

Now, as far as my new comic book "Bobert and the Monster", I am doing that specifically in a comic book print page size and style. So that one is 3588px wide by 5425px tall. And again, I am using 350 DPI for print.

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...

Artwork for the original Candy Land game by Milton Bradley from 1955.

I have a vintage Candy Land game from 1955 by Milton Bradley and I was about to sell it so I thought I would add it to my personal art history course concept I've been doing . I'm going to try and see if I can find out how this game was created, designed and why? Here is what I found out about this game https://candy-land.fandom.com/wiki/Candy_Land_Wiki Candy Land is a board game about children exploring a world made out of candy and other sweets that originally came out in 1949. In every version of the game, there are a group of children that go through Candy Land. In the earliest versions of the game, it was a realistically drawn boy and girl.

How I managed to put together a 10-Hour Creative Commons Music Stream

This past week, I found myself in a situation where a spontaneous idea turned into a multi-day, 10-hour-per-day streaming project for the Ubuntu Summit . Here's the story of how I pulled it off—from a casual suggestion to a working stream—and the open-source tools that made it possible.
