  • Charity Challenge Guest Comics

     

    Eight, count them eight artists stepped up to include me in either their comics or their guest art during my cartoon challenge.

    Can you guess who they are for each of the numbers???   First person to get them all correct will get their choice of tshirt design from my shop WackSack.com.

    Because I am nice here is who is represented:  Obscure Gentlemen, Zombie Boy Comics, TWXXD Comics, Adam’s Art, The Tasmanians, Tix Comix, Off Season Comics, Subparker   Now you have to put them in the right order.

    UPDATE:  Forgot to include Bo Lumpkins

     

    I am getting senile.  Sorry mind has been elsewhere and I forget Jande’s from Aedre’s Firefly. Here is the video of her redshirt Bearman:

  • Guest Cartoons Needed

    December is going to be another busy month and I am taking time off around Christmas so I’m putting out a call for guest cartoons.  This is a great way to promote your cartoons to my readers using YOUR characters.  Since I don’t have recurring characters I tend to choose ways for your to use your characters in unique ways.  I’m adding a second option for those who don’t have recurring characters or who want a different choice.

    WHAT?

    Option 1: What if one of your characters was cast instead of the original actor in your favorite tv show, cartoon, or movie?

    Option 2: Use ME in a cartoon. Use “BEARMAN” somewhere in the toon. Maybe it’s a character’s name, a name on a bar sign in the background or even loosely as “Check out that Bear, man!”

    How Big
    Size matters. Width no greater than 500 pixels. Length doesn’t matter.

    When
    From now until December 20. I might post some early depending on response and my own schedule but will let you know.

    Bio
    Especially for those I am not familiar with give me a short paragraph on your cartoon/blog.

    Send to bearmancartoons ((AT)) yahoo (DOT) com.

    Thanks and spread the word.

  • Bearman Charity Challenge 2010

     

    It’s back!!  Last year, thanks to your efforts you cost me $336 to charity.  Once again I am issuing a challenge and this year I am going for $1000.

    This year the first $500 raised will once again go to the Cincinnati FreeStore Foodbank.  This charity does great things not only to feed those in need but also to help families get back on their feet in other ways.  The need is great this time of year because people tend to donate more during the holidays.

    Anything donated above $500 to the max $1000 will go to support the Down Syndrome Association of Greater Cincinnati in their fundraising efforts.

    I am issuing this challenge to help raise money.  I will donate the indicated amount for each thing that you do in the month of May:

    • $10 – For the first 20 cartoonists who send in a guest cartoon (see below for what I am looking for).
    • $5 – Add http://beartoons.com to your blog roll  (for those who don’t already have it)
    • $5 – Add a Bearman Cartoons Banner Ad (found here) on your site or if you already have one upgrade to a larger size.
    • $5 $10 – Blog about my challenge to your readers and link back to this entry in your post – http://beartoons.com/2010/05/03/bearman-charity-challenge-2010
    • $5 – Send a picture of yourself wearing a t-shirt from our shopOR send a picture that showcases that you are a BEARMANiac.  Photos will be showcased in weekly updates and also appear ongoing in the BEARMANia section.
    • $2 – Follow me via TWITTER updates. (if you aren’t already)
    • $2 – Become a fan/like Beartoons on Facebook.

    If you add me to your blog roll, add/upgrade your banner, include this challenge in a post, or start following me via twitter/facebook because of this post please indicate in the comments.  

     I’ll post a weekly update of the money raised and who did what to raise the money with links back to your site if applicable.

    Call for Cartoonists to provide Guest Cartoons

    Taking some time off in June so looking for guest cartoons to fill the void.  Obviously I don’t have recurring characters but last years call to highlight your characters in new ways was well received.  So here is the challenge.  Replace the actor(s) in your favorite movie/television show with one or more of your characters.  Submissions can take the form of fake posters, single panel or strip.  Keep submissions within 600 pixels wide.  Here is just one example from the Family Guy (obviously doesn’t need to be that in depth).   If you need inspiration, check out my recent post on recreating 35 famous movie posters.

    Thanks for your continued support.
