Making Comics, and Making a Living From Comics

By Pamela Park |
July 10, 2019

As comics pros Brad Guigar and Dave Kellett will tell you, cartoonists just work better on a Wacom. These two Eisner-nominated pros have been making a living with their Cintiqs for over a decade, now. And Wacom is proud to partner with them as they share cartooning tips and tricks on their hilarious weekly podcast, ComicLab!  Filled with drawing advice and inspiration, the show covers all aspects of cartooning — from first sketches, to getting your finished work out into the world. Everything from traditional publishing, to self publishing, to social media and crowd-funding: The podcast covers everything that pros (and aspiring pros!) need to know.

Dave and Brad

And with guests including Ngozi Ukazu (Check, Please!), Ryan North (Marvel’s Squirrel Girl), Tony Cliff (Delilah Dirk), Jake Parker (Inktober / Skyheart), Kazu Kibuishi (Amulet), Zach Weinersmith (SMBC), Scott Kurtz (PvP) and more — the show brings you the best pro-tips in the business!

The importance of taking breaks ❤️

We’ve seen absolutely identified with the words of @ms.shortyj 💫 Taking care of yourself will help you grow as an artist.

Stopping is not quitting, is just taking a pause of the path to get another perspective 😉
