So the Canson paper reps came. I don't think they could have BEEN anymore american. They said canSON, haha. Really strong accents, it's funny XD.
Anyway, they gave us a rundown on canson, sorry canSON papers and the company. You could tell they were salesman... I hate those kinds of practiced and rehearsed scenarios, with the powerpoint presentations.. BLAH. We aren't buisness people, we're freaking artists! We don't need to be sold on paper... anyway!
The point is, I took that opportunity to mention my distaste in the horrible Canson fanboy comic board packaging design.
If you haven't seen that crap, check it out: http://www.fanboypaper.com/
Quality paper, belittled.
Protraying comic artists as fat ugly nerds.
Anyhoo, so I told them it was embarrassing to purchase and it was belittling. They yammered on about how they have done surveys and 94% of people found them funny, blah blah.
Don't try and sell me that line! I buy your products, where was this survey? I didn't see it!
Who was it directed at? Little anime nerds ages 7-13 no doubt. Not professional comic artists, thats for damn sure.

Fanboy
I love Canson (Fanboy) comic boards, they are nice to sketch on and easy to light table through but what in GODS NAME made them choose that packaging?
They make it look like kids stuff and bad kids stuff. It's quality board being marketed to nerdy little kids. It's embarrassing to be seen with it and it belittles the fine art of sequential story telling.
Why are companies so damn scared to market their comic supplies to adults?
Serious artists doing srsbsns!
It irritates me that even the good quality comic supply companies are treating their own products as a lesser art form, childish and unimportant.
Anyway, I've moved several of my arts over to Artician from Deviantart, but I wont be posting Daqueran on Artician. I don't need one more place to update every monday.
I just finished answering questions for an interview that'll be posted on DeviantART. It's nice being seen as a comic artist now.
Daqueran hit the 40 page mark, whoo hoo!

Artician
I found a new online portfolio site called Artician. And it has the ability to import your entire Deviantart gallery. I think it's worth a check out.
