“A Decade of Imy” – Addendum

WHOOPS!

When I originally write that post, I wrote it on my phone since I was on vacation and away from any computer. What I didn’t realize at the time was that any link I wrote was handled wrong by the WordPress mobile site and the links to the tip jar in the post weren’t functioning! GAH! So I logged on today (I’m back in Sweden), and fixed it. Sorry about that!

So, if you haven’t already, go read the post about TEN YEARS OF IMY!!!

And if you want to celebrate with me by showing your support and helping me out with a new laptop I had to buy to replace my old 7 ½ year one (so that I can continue to create!), please drop something in my tip jar!

Thanks, guys!

THIS IS BIG: A Decade of “Imy!”

Hello all!

November 25th marks 10 years since I posted that very first “Imy” online. As the story goes, I didn’t have much of a plan, but I did it anyway. My only goal was to do 5 comics, and see where it went from there. It started off sort of autobiographical, but after a short while, Imy became her own character and I started to build a world around her.

The past 10 years has been a rollercoaster. 700+ comics, 6 volumes, several smaller books, ROCK t-shirts, comic cons on different continents, comic festivals, and one worn arm that actually stopped me from drawing “Imy” for a few months some years back!

I’ve gotten so much out of the comic in the past decade. It’s changed my life dramatically. It’s kept me drawing and being creative. It’s given me a purpose. It’s led me to other projects that have led to BIG opportunities (like comics for NASA!). It’s introduced me to the world of cartoonists, and I have met some of the most wondeful people I’ve ever known because of that. It placed me with my “tribe,” a group of people with whom I feel most at “home,” and who make me feel like a part of this planet. Without this comic I wouldn’t have found my best friends.

It has been really difficult sometimes. It’s not the easiest thing in the world to keep something like this going for 10 years, with life happening all around you, and an artist’s brain full of constant doubt and self-deprication. But I have kept it going despite all of those distractions, and I am very, very proud of that.

It it will continue. So, don’t think hitting 10 years means I’m ending anything!

As a final word, I have a bit of a plea. If you have the resources, think back to how long you’ve been reading and enjoying “Imy” over this time. Consider, please, dropping something into my tip jar…

I recently had to buy a new computer to replace my 7½ year computer that just couldn’t handle my work anymore, and was making drawing anything at all very difficult for me. So please consider supporting my art if you’ve been enjoying it! 🙂

And, even if you don’t have the resources, you can support me by just posting about “Imy” and sharing how much joy it brings you on social media sites you use, or your blog, or whatever other way you want to share it.

Thank you all so much for loving “Imy” as much as I do. Let’s start off another decade now, shall we? 🙂

Site Outages

Hey guys!

Those of you who have visited in the past few days may have noticed the site was unreachable for an extended period of time during Friday and Saturday. My host seemed to be having a full on outage that affected all sites they hosted including their own main site. I’m still unsure what caused it, and I contacted my host and am waiting on a response, but I’m hoping it won’t happen again.

I apologize to those who were frustrated trying to get to the site. It was completely beyond my control.

Now, back to “Imy!” (I hope! ?)

“Imy” is nearly 10! Give Love & Support!

Hey guys! So here’s what’s up…

As of next month, I will have been creating “Imy” for 10 YEARS. An entire decade of “Imy!” There have a been a few downs but it’s been mostly UP.
“Imy” has been a labor of love for me. Though I’ve had some indiegogos here and there to get some books made and such, the comic has ALWAYS been available online for FREE for anyone to enjoy.

This is not something I’m going to change, but I thought that maybe I’d put this out there for anyone wanting to support me. It’s a “tip jar,” and you can give whatever you want. Any support you want to give would be greatly appreciated! It all goes to helping me continue to create the stuff I love! Most recently, I had to buy a new laptop, as the one I’ve been using for 7 ½ years has become difficult to work with. It’s an expense I haven’t wanted to have, but it couldn’t wait any longer. The laptop is EVERYTHING behind my work. Without it, I wouldn’t be able to create anymore.

I’ll be posting this tip jar from time to time, and I’ll be adding a link to it on the sidebar here on the website too. My comics will continue to be free for all to enjoy, but if you are able to drop some love and support into my tip jar, that would send me over the moon! <3 Just click on the tip jar up top!

Thank you for loving “Imy” and my other comics and art!
