Hi I'm a Newby

Posted by Matt Baker on January 22, 2009 at 2:02pm in INTRODUCTIONS

Hi, i'm new here and the computer suggested I introduce myself here, and I always do what computers say, so...I'm a comic artist from Australia, used to be in the animation industry but now do freelance illustration from my home to put bread on the table. My 'Cranky Bob the Cactus' 2 page comic came second in the 2nd International Christian Comics Competition, and apart from that I have contributed short comics to the 'Pulp Crucifiction' anthologies by Australian comic artists. I hope to make a whole stack of christian comics in the future, so I'm looking forward to meeting all you awesome christian comic creators! My testimony comic is at: http://www.christiancomicsinternational.org/baker1.htmlI'll post a few eg's of my stuff here, if you have 5 minutes to kill, check out my portfolio at http://prisoneronearth.deviantart.com/All God's best,Matt Baker

Hi Kathleen,
yeah i love your song of solomon comic! I already knew who you were from your testimony comic on Nate Butler's site. I'll check out your deviantart site, it will be great to see more of your work!
Cheers!

Hi Matt! I'm on deviantart as well--I've put a watch on you, just look for me in that category (I'm meezerkat). I wanted to take a look at your gallery but Deviantart is having "issues" tonight (probably too many people on a Friday night) so I will look another time. I also had an entry in the Christian Comics book--mine is the Song of Solomon submission. Look forward to considering your work!

Hey Matt,

Welcome. Nice artworks too. You'll find so many resources here in this site. I'm also a newby. Hope to see more of your works and yourself :-)

Thanks, Matthew! Yeah it took me a whole day to do that border, and I mean a WHOLE day. I'd just had my wisdom teeth taken out and had time off work, so I just drew all day. Anyway, glad you like it.

that pulcinella page 8 is amazing. I am a geek for that cooky detailed stuff. that border must have taken a long time.

anyways welcome to the site.

can't wait to look at your portfolio.

Hey, thanks for that, Bluefire, I didn't know any of that about deviantart, I was just told about it by a friend so I joined up. I will check out the ones you recommended, they definitely sound 'nicer'.

DeviantArt! Sweet! I'm watching, you've got some awesome stuff! :)

I sit here and I can't come up with the phrase that would best express my fellings about the work you have done(without sounding tacky or just stupid) I LOVE YOUR WORK!!! I have been aware of the deviantart site but haven't gone there(horrible procrastinator) but I want to see more of your work. Well done and God bless

  Thanks for the massive compliment. It's nice to know when someone likes my art, especially when there's so many artists I know whose artworks make my pictures look like they were drawn by something without thumbs.
