One of my lifelong hobbies is organizing things and, when I can, helping people out. My earliest attempts at putting stuff together go as far back as my mid-twenties, when I organized 1-day gaming conventions using university classrooms; or when I created Mordred, a pen-and-paper Amateur Press Association; or when worked with the guys at Protoculture Addicts to create one of the first anime magazines in America; or… I’ve probably forgotten a bunch of things I’ve done along the road.
About 2 years ago, with Lucien and artist Ghislain Barbe, we attempted a weekly webcomic (Get Stuffed) which, unfortunately, did not last. Around the same time, I helped Normand Bilodeau (Henbe) put together Dungeon Sweet Dungeon (http://www.dungeonsweetdungeon.com), which is still running strong. And more recently, with Lucien, we put our resources together to create the comic you’re now reading–Heroes Without Borders. I can say I’m really proud of how it’s turning out and hope you’ll enjoy the art and stories that are ahead.
But Mozaik Comics isn’t just something I’m doing for Heroes Without Borders. I want this to be a place where aspiring comic creators can come and benefit from a hassle-free hosting service. There are a lot of hurdles when you want to create a webcomic: creating the site itself, setting up accounts & accesses for members (if required), interacting with the hosting service in case of trouble, managing backups (& restoring them when all goes wrong), setting up advertisement & revenue streams, promoting the comic, etc. Without tooting my own horn, I’m starting to know a bit more what it’s all about and I can help.
So if you or someone you know is in need of a hosting service, I can probably help you out. I’m already paying for a hosting service and I’m not using all of its resources, so if you want to start your own webcomic, contact me. I can help you make it happen. (I can’t help you with the content itself, that’s your job–but I can handle everything else.)
Just thought I’d put it out there. Mozaik Comics is there for you. Email me.
