So, if you have seen any of my recent posts to Deviantart, you may have learned that I have recently launched my very own Patreon page!

I did this as a way to raise funds to support me as I make more comic books! 

I now have a few titles out. There's the first title that I launched back in 2011: Lou Scannon. This is now at the point where issue 8 is about to come out. Druid Investigations launched last year and I'm about to start on Issue 2 of that. Bruce Outback is a comic that I am a co-creator on but is put out by my good friend, Drivaaar (He's on here but I can't for the life of me remember how to tag him in a post here... It's been too long since I posted here regularly. Insanely busy)

I work in art full time now but the comics I do in what little spare time I have and that doesn't pay. So the Patreon is a way of helping me raise funds so that I can pick and choose more about what paying jobs I take that will allow me to spend more time working on comic books. If that makes sense?..

So Patreon has my new exclusive Webcomic "The Bunker: Tales of the Last Frontiersman" as well as a series of one page comic strips!
$1 gets you access to The Bunker
$3 gets you access to The Bunker, My one page comic strips AND my behind the scenes work. There are also some higher scoring tiers for anyone feeling so inclined. I've been shown a lot of great support already but have a look at my latest posts, if you get a kick out of what you see, please consider checking out my Patreon page at www.patreon.com/DanHarris and if you like what you see, consider becoming a Patron! 
You can shoot me any questions you like there too! I check it daily :D

Those guys of you that have followed me for years and used to chat with me on here a lot- I dont get on here as much as I did (I think a layout change a few years back put me off for a loooong time and then I got way too busy) but if you would like to get in touch again, I would LOVE to hear from you. I'm on twitter AND instagram as baresark_Artist so come and find me!

Yes, it's been nearly 2 years since I last updated my journal on here and probably nearly that long since I posted a picture, but there are reasons. 

I have now given up tattooing and am working as a full time freelance illustrator! I've been doing all sorts ranging from comic books to tv ad storyboards and the such. 

It hasn't left me with an abundance of free time for my own stuff, plus I don't really do much in the way of working for free anymore. Well, my time doesnt really allow for much in the way of drawing for pleasure anymore. 
Not a complaint! Merely an observation of my own situation.

Anyways, one of the main reasons for posting this update other than to let you know what I have been up to, is to inform you that I currently have a live KICKSTARTER project! You've seen my posts about my existing comic Lou Scannon, but not I'm currently working on a new comic called Druid Investigations. This is about Merlin in the modern day, battling monsters whilst trying to protect a rather unaware Insurance salesman who happens to stumble across the world of magic by chance!

I currently have around 3 weeks left on the project to achieve funding. I'm over half way but I need your help to reach the finish line!

Check out the link to my Kickstarter here: www.kickstarter.com/projects/1…

Watch the video and then give the page and rewards a read! If it seems like something you would like or something someone you know would like, then PLEASE, feel free to back the project and/or spread the word!

I have some great rewards on there and I would most certainly love you forever if you DID back me. Love you with ALL MY HEART! ;)

Thanks in advance guys! 

I genuinely hope life is treating you well.

Hi guys, I know it has been aaaaaages since I uploaded ANYTHING onto dA but I really don't have the time to upload anything anymore AND I'm past the point now where I do artwork for free... 
Im getting a lot more paid work and the work I do for myself, tends to be stuff that I end up doing as comics that I sell etc etc...
So you'll have to forgive me for the lack of updates.

THAT SAID!:
I have recently opened up an Etsy store from an idea devised by a friend of mine and myself. We do Geek prints and have a couple of other artists working with us on the project too.

We call ourselves "The Pencil Pirates" and we have a store that you can check out at www.etsy.com/shop/pencilpirates

So give us a look if you have five minutes and feel so inclined! :)

Much love.

Hello everyone!

Seems I very rarely update here these days.
Turns out that working full time in art means that you don't get so much time to upload stuff you might doodle on to dA.
Plus side is though that I have come on leaps and bounds by working constantly in art.
In fact, looking at a lot of my older stuff on here kinda makes me cringe. Never delete though! If you don't know where you have come from, how can you know where you're going?

Anyway, the reason for this journal update is to alert you all to the upcoming Cardiff Comic Expo on March the 2nd and 3rd and the Mercure Hotel on Newport Road.
www.fantasyevents.org/cicae/

It promises to be a great event!

We will be launching issue 5 of our Eagle Award nominated comic "Lou Scannon" (Favourite British Black and White Comic 2012) there! So please, do come along and show us your support! We would be very grateful!

However, if you don't live near Cardiff and would like to find out more about the comic, then pay a visit to our website www.LouScannon.co.uk where you can purchase the comic or look to see if there is a store near you that stocks it!

Take it easy guys!

Dan
