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&#8230; I&#8217;ve probably forgotten a bunch of things I&#8217;ve done along the road.<\/p>\n<p>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&#8217;re now reading&#8211;Heroes Without Borders. I can say I&#8217;m really proud of how it&#8217;s turning out and hope you&#8217;ll enjoy the art and stories that are ahead.<\/p>\n<p>But Mozaik Comics isn&#8217;t just something I&#8217;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 &amp; accesses for members (if required), interacting with the hosting service in case of trouble, managing backups (&amp; restoring them when all goes wrong), setting up advertisement &amp; revenue streams, promoting the comic, etc. Without tooting my own horn, I&#8217;m starting to know a bit more what it&#8217;s all about and I can help.<\/p>\n<p>So if you or someone you know is in need of a hosting service, I can probably help you out. I&#8217;m already paying for a hosting service and I&#8217;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&#8217;t help you with the content itself, that&#8217;s your job&#8211;but I can handle everything else.)<\/p>\n<p>Just thought I&#8217;d put it out there. Mozaik Comics is there for you. <a href=\"mailto:jean@jeancarrieres.com?Subject=Webcomic\">Email me<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Jean C.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>One of my lifelong hobbies is organizing things and, when I can, helping people out.
