Stuff & Dreams

So Maker Faire over the weekend went pretty great.  I made a hundred or so custom buttons for kids that they drew at the event.  At times it felt like working retail & at other times it felt like teaching …

Semi-Productive

So I had a semi-productive day.  I got some orders out & some promo work done & a comic laid out & some final drafts done for an issue of XO & an issue of Marked.   I also wrote up …

Kickstarting, Schedule, Dreams, Comics, Promo

So I’m trying to do a little more to promote the Kickstarter comics campaign even though it’s fully funded.  I’m not a member of any comic forums (surprisingly active compared to music ones) & so I joined a few today …

    good job on the video. the look of it is cool. maybe make the guy move too in the next two minutes you have to fill. ps out of an hour of video i usually wind up with something around 5-8 minutes. so good luck on the rest of that.

  2. There’s another 30 seconds from last night of the paper doll moving around & fighting giant bugs. There’s five versions of the doll in different positions.

    Guess what, I had some trouble getting the lighting to be how I liked. & what I did to accentuate the feel of stop motion when there was essentially no motion was using some slowburn christmas tree lights as off camera accent lights to cause some lighting variation. Oh, & the background is a Silvertone guitar case.

Remora, Spotify, XO, Worms

So I did some more work on my paper dolls for the Remora video.  Drew three out of five, still have to scan them in, color them, & cut them out & then find out if my camera can do …

    if it doesn’t cost the label/artist anything to be on it, i would see Spotify as free promo (i guess cdbaby puts you on there as part of their deal, not sure how working direct works out).
    Although I imagine at a certain level the artist becomes promo for Spotify as opposed to the other way around.

  2. GoddakkAttack says:

    also i gu ess i don’t know how spotify works either, is it just online radio like pandora? or do you get to download the songs for a subscription fee?

  3. On Spotify you get to listen to any song you want with no subscription fee. I haven’t heard an explanation of why anyone would get their pay service & in most countries about 5% of people use the pay service.

  4. As far as it being free promo, it would be free promo if people came to your music through it instead of going to it for your music.

      well i imagine it’s supposed to work that way, like last fm or whatever. where hey i like Metallica so it’ll suggest i listen to Megadeth. So i’m sure people will go for metallica and megadeth and maybe hear some other horrible metal band from the midwest as a result potentially. so possibly promo if it works that way but from what i gather, it’s one of the weaker points of the app.

      anyways, i was reading this article about this and it made a good point that the major labels have big shares in spotify so they don’t really care about the streaming revenue since they’re making profit from the ad & subscription revenue anyways. win win for them.

  5. I hear there’s some kind of thing on it where you can check out what your friends are listening to that’s supposed to be “fun.” Yeah, the labels owning Spotify is probably the real reason Apple hasn’t bought it & closed it down yet.

    • GoddakkAttack says:

      It’s in their interest to make the company look successful even though it’s not so that their shares skyrocket. Explains why there’s been so much media support for it.

      • Yeah, it’s like Second Life. Why was that shit on the news all the time when even at my level of geekery I never met anyone that had an account they used more than the one time to find out the thing was kinda lame?

Free Music from Remora & Thorn1 plus other fun stuff.

So today instead of actually practicing playing guitar, I made this on my sub-midi program.  Let me know what you think & if it feels familiar.

Pricing, Azalia Snail, Remora, Lost Kisses, XO

So as some of you may have noticed, the price of shipping internationally went up a bit recently.  A single CD went up from $3.70 to $4.33 going to Europe.  Which makes me wonder about raising the international price from …
