New Comics on Patreon!

by on March 29, 2023 at 12:44 am
Chapter:

Yes friends, the image above speaks the truth: I’m making comics again. However, there are a few changes.

First, all of my new comics are now at patreon.com/danieljhogan. They will all be free to read, but patrons get early access to new comics and other rewards. They are also posted to my Instagram and Facebook page.

TIP: You can create a free Patreon account and just “follow” my page to see all of my free, public updates. You can get updates right to your email, or get a notification through the Patreon app.

Second, I’m not continuing Foxes & Boxes. These new comics are me getting back to my gag comic days. My goal is to have fun and play around, so I don’t have a set schedule. However, I aim for one comic a week if possible, and there isn’t a set day for when I post a new comic. I’ll return to Foxes & Boxes at some point, but it would be a fresh start.

Some of these new comics are more autobiographical too, but not all of them.

As always, keep an eye on danieljhogan.com for any other updates and/or sign up for my newsletter.

Thanks everyone!

Flint Art Fair 2019

flint art fair information 2019

My Summer of Crazy (or One Crazy Summer?) continues this weekend, with an appearance at the Flint Art Fair. I will be there Saturday, June 8th and Sunday June 9th.

Where is the Flint Art Fair?

The fun takes place on the front lawn of the Flint Institute of Art, which is part of the Flint Cultural Center in Flint, Michigan. The address for the art fair is: 1120 E. Kearsley St. Flint, MI 48503.

Here’s a map!

Flint Art Fair Hours and Admission

Saturday’s hours are 10 AM to 6 PM, while Sunday is a bit shorter, going from 11 AM to 5 PM.

NOTE: There is a $5 admission fee to attend.

Children 12 and under are free, however. This is different from most art shows I’ve done, which offer free admission. The reason for the entry fee is because the Flint Art Fair acts as a fundraiser for the Flint Institute of Arts.

Via the website: “Funds raised are directly used to help fund exhibitions, programs, and art acquisitions at the [Flint Institute of Art].”

The good news is, parking is free!

cherry capital comic con

Cherry Capital Comic Con returns to Traverse City this weekend. I will be there, as will my wife Steph Joy Hogan, selling her art at a “comic con” for the first time ever. We will be side by side at the end of one of the artist rows. Don’t worry, you can’t miss us. Just look for the colorful pictures of cats and such.

When and Where is Cherry Capital Comic Con?

The show starts this Friday night, May 24, at 5PM with a “preview” until 8PM. Then the real deal kicks off at 10AM on Saturday, May 25 and goes until 6PM. Sunday, May 26 is a bit shorter, with hours running from 11AM to 5PM.

Everything takes place in the Grand Traverse Resort and Spa, in Acme, Michigan. Grab badges for Cherry Capital Comic Con via the website.

The Great Cartoonist Sketch-Off

Once again, I have the pleasure of joining fellow inkslingers Jay Fosgitt, Jeffrey J. Manley, and Jay Jacot on stage for the Great Cartoonist Sketch-Off, aka The Battle of the Js. We draw funny pictures in front of a live audience, and hilarity always ensues.

You get to witness the insanity not once, but TWICE. Saturday at 12:30 PM and Sunday at 1PM (each time in the Outback Steakhouse Panel Room). Come on out, you might even win one of our drawings. Continue Reading

East Lansing Art Festival 2019 Saturday and Sunday

east lansing art festival 2019The big weekend is finally here: I’m appearing at the East Lansing Art Festival this Saturday and Sunday. Last year, I attended as an Emerging Artist. This year, I’m attending as a fully juried artist, and I’m very excited.

Don’t forget: the East Lansing Art Festival is free to attend! And it’s all outside, so check the weather.

Where to Find Me at the East Lansing Art Festival 2019

I’m in booth 43, right next to my wife Steph Joy Hogan (booth 42). We’re on Albert St., not far from the corner of Albert and M.A.C., across from the Marriott Hotel and in front of the CVS.

Just look for my big colorful cat-covered banner,  and keep an eye on my Instagram for photos, you will find me.

What Am I Selling at the East Lansing Art Festival 2019?

Because of art festival rules, I’m only selling original art. This means I can’t sell prints or other mass produced items, like the Foxes & Boxes books or my greeting cards. However, I will be giving out business cards with the link to buy Foxes & Boxes book (bit.ly/foxesboxes1) if anyone is interested.

Note: I could sell prints, but there are specific rules for that and it’s easier for me just to crank out a bunch of originals.

This year at the East Lansing Art Festival, I’m selling:

  • 2019 100 Day Project watercolor cartoons (still in progress), “100 Found Cartoons” (4×6, matted)
  • The remaining pieces from my “Found Cartoons” exhibition at the Arts Council of Greater Lansing in April (various sizes, framed)
  • Four pieces from a new series called “Sassy Food” (5×5, framed)
  • 2018 Inktober watercolor cartoons “31 Cats” (4×6, matted)
  • 2018 Monster Portraits (various sizes, framed)

As you can see, I’ll have a lot of art to choose from. The smallest pieces are 4×6 and the largest are 18×24. Each piece is original, and one of a kind.

East Lansing Art Festival Days and Hours

The art festival kicks off this Saturday at 10 AM and goes until 6 PM. On Sunday, the hours are 10 AM to 5 PM. Everything can be found on M.A.C. and Albert St. in downtown East Lansing. You can’t miss it, just look for the crowds near El Azteco and the Marriott Hotel.

Next Weekend: Cherry Capital Comic Con

I’m in for a crazy few weeks here as my season kicks off. Steph and I will be at Cherry Capital Comic Con next weekend (Memorial Day Weekend) in Traverse City, Michigan. Steph has her own table this year, and we collaborated on a pair of new prints (which turned out AMAZING). I will have Foxes & Boxes books for sale at C4!
