DIY Printing: It’s Cheaper Than You Think

Brock Beauchamp
October 9, 2013

2012 is going to be my first year of tabling at conventions for my webcomic work and over the summer, don’t be surprised if you see multiple stories of my experiences (and failures) at figuring out how to best go about the convention process as an exhibitor. One of the first problems I encountered during my pre-convention preparation was that of print-making. Comics themselves, well, there’s only one real choice for those of us getting started: digital offset offered by the likes of Ka-Blam or Createspace. Alongside my comic book offerings (and the meager profit margins allowed by using these digital... View Article

San Diego Comic Con – I Hardly Knew Ye

Brock Beauchamp
July 31, 2013

I was able to attend the latest San Diego Comic Con for a single day (Friday) before moving on to attend my podcast co-host’s wedding north of Los Angeles on Saturday. Having never attended SDCC for less than three days in the past, I was startled by just how little of the convention one can cover in a single day. I walked the show floor a couple of times, was able to attend one (just one… sigh) panel on coloring with Copic markers, and then tried to catch some of the cosplay/party sights to be found in San Diego’s Gaslamp...

Summertime Hiatuses & News

I know the past couple of weeks have been spotty with updates on SelfCentEnt. I had computer issues (a failed SSD that required a full format and reinstall of the operating system) and then a passing in the family that required an unexpected trip out of town, which caused much of the work on the comic and podcast to cease for nearly two weeks. After struggling to maintain a difficult update schedule in the comic and podcast, I thought it was time to update listeners and readers on our summer plans. The Comic: Aurorae is going to update sporadically over... View Article

SpringCon 2013 – Thanks, Everybody!

May 21, 2013

I had a great weekend at MCBA SpringCon and got to meet a few readers, do a few sketches and commissions, and sold a ton of prints. I’m looking forward to having actual *comics books* to sell at FallCon this October (also organized by the MCBA and hosted at the Minnesota State Fairgrounds) but for this event, my table was limited to prints and sketches. As usual, the MCBA organizers treat their creative guests like royalty, helping out in any way they can and even going so far as to feed us a free steak dinner after the convention on...

The online fantasy graphic novel Aurorae by Brock Beauchamp. The Aurorae webcomic is property of Brock Beauchamp and SelfCentEnt, all rights reserved. The baker continues to beat himself to death, one blow at a time. Meanwhile, the strange man in Manon’s flashback turns the tide in the battle against the ancient dragon and prepares to deliver a knife blow to the head. Manon and Arnaud, stunned at what is unfolding before their very eyes, will have to leave quickly or the police will surely arrest them and haul them to jail.
