We established Cartoon Connections Press in 1997. Cartoon Connections Press is the publisher of CARTOONING BASICS. We are proud to announce that CARTOONING BASICS has been translated into Spanish, and will be translated Chinese soon.
Many major suppliers and bookstores carry our book, and you may
order directly from us. Please visit our Cartooning
Basics Web Page for complete ordering information.
Cartoon Connections Press has participated in many book and conventions. We are members of the Midwest Independent Publishers Association (MIPA), and Publishers Marketing Association (PMA).
We have done preliminary illustration, design, and layout for a forthcoming book for author Shelly Levine. More details will be available at a later time.
(working cover design)
That is the working title for the sequel to CARTOONING BASICS.
CARTOONING! The Basics
and Beyond!, will cover styles of
cartoon characters and their costumes, backgrounds, props, panels,
cartoon strips, comic book pages, animation, card design, and more.
We have be collecting notes and information for years, and are now
getting it into outline and rough draft form. We expect it to be
roughly 100 pages with around 500 illustrations.
At BookExpo America in June of 1998, met Jim
Davis (of Garfield fame), and he has agreed to write the
foreword to our new book. We expect it to be released sometime in Y2K
(if the presses still run).
Watch this spot for further announcements about CARTOONING! The Basics and Beyond!
Indeed, it is a busy time with teaching, 'tooning, and writing, but we are enjoying every minute of it.
