(quite a fitting topic now that FA is making us experience download speeds we haven't seen since the dialup age)
I realized a couple weeks ago that I'm very near to being into the furry art thing for ten years. So I took a little trip trough memory lane and started delving into old art. I learned a number of things:
1. A whole lot of stuff is nowhere to be found. Most of the missing stuff are just sketches, but there's also at least one missing transformation sequence and almost all the concept work for three comics (Shangdu, Cheegon and the missing cheese, the journal of Henry Lemon).
2. Going through various websites has resulted in a lot of work that was once online no longer being online.
3. There is a mind boggling amount of stuff that was either finished or nearly finished but that somehow never made it online. A whole bunch of inked images and nearly a hundred comic pages in total.
So now I'm considering making a bunch of that old stuff available online for the celebratory ten year mark. There's just one small problem: getting it all scanned, cleaned up, lettered (for the comics) and posted online is going to take a hellish amount of work. So I might have to charge a small sum for access to all this stuff. I'm not entirely certain about the distribution method either.
Ideas? thoughts? Not at all interested in my old work? Let me know so I've got at least some idea idea whether of not I should spend any time on digitizing things.

Art Zone is a 24 comic publication featuring whatver you as te artist wants to present. It's a great place to show roughs, works in progress, finished pieces, and lots of comments about the pieces.
And it's FREE to you. How can they do it? They print 25 copies for you to have and do with as you wish- sell, trade, line your hamster cage, whatever. They get 26 copies to sell which covers the production costs for both sets. There's more details on that page, but it's worth taking a look at. They've had quite a few notable artists go this route.
