From Kev:
Hi, all,

If we still want to meet up starting in February 2022, reply to let me know where you’d like to meet.

Also, the latest “Drawing Funny” podcast episode is up- Episode 33 – “Priced To Sell- Or Sit..?”
“How much is that art in the window?” In this solo episode I discuss pricing and selling– or not selling my art, what some folks have thought about the prices I charge, and if my work is worth the cost.
If you have any ideas or stories on selling art and/or how you price things, please give me a yell at podcast (at) drawingfunny (dot) com. If you’d like to promote anything you’re selling or doing in 2022 feel free to contact me about it. I’d love to hear from you. Always looking for member news and guests for the show. I’m seriously running out of things to talk about- especially about myself!
Oh, and don’t forget to snag some free MSCA and Drawing Funny swag at local comic shops in Memphis. You can find some at Comics & Collectibles (Poplar), 901 Comics (Cooper/Young), and The Cellar (Bartlett).
Hope you have a Happy New Year!
