I take a look at some of the things that sold from my vintage collection today. I got Illustrated children's books including a Sesame Street from the 80s in German. Dolls, games, and a Perfection game in working condition which is always exciting to have. And at the end, I show one of my webcomic diary pages. This is a video of my daily life since I decided to sell collectibles and pop-culture items I collect on eBay, Mercari, and Facebook Marketplace to help support my art career instead of taking on freelance work. Look at all the vintage pop-culture items available in my eBay Store https://ebay.to/2vMYStC Check out the other things I do too! :) - Tom Ray's Art Podcast (interviews with artists) - My Daily webcomic - My webcomic eBooks "Then This Happened..."

I think this was the person I talked to on the phone when I couldn't remember the name service department.

I pretty much sounded like "car bad you fix?"

I just wish they had a phone number so I could call and explain it that way.

I thought I was giving him some privacy. But now he knows what it was like when he was a kid and I talked to him when he was playing a video game.

Part of me wanted to find a way up there to catch them. The other part felt I might get stabbed or something.

I wondered why was this in my music library? But then decided I was okay with it.

Then I felt silly so I took them out of my pockets.

It wasn't open by the way.

We were done eating but we kept watching it.

His mom ended up buying like five of them for him.

I wanted to react to it but that wouldn't solve anything.

I have it tied to the railing but it still fell.

Are Amazon KDP Books Print On Demand One of the questions I get asked is if Amazon KDP is a print-on-demand service for books. The answer is yes, books are printed on-demand on Amazon KDP.  When I upload my webcomic book to the Amazon KDP service they are only made when people buy them. ( Related Post:   Creating a cover for my webcomic books ) When a book is ordered on Amazon, then they print my book The files for my book will sit there on the Amazon server until someone orders it. Then the printer for Amazon makes the book. Amazon puts it together and takes care of the rest.  So the printing and the shipping that's all covered by amazon. I don't have to do anything. I also get my own Amazon author page Also, I get an author page on Amazon when I make a book. When I create a book on amazon I get an account as an author that I can edit and update! When I create more than one book I can send people to my author page and it will show all the books that I have available an...

I feel like this is going to take a while.

I'm scheduling interviews through May on Sundays and Thursdays at 2pm central time . If you're interested you can book a time on my Facebook page https://fb.com/book/tomrayswebsite

Normally we just release singles.

That seems like so much effort to replace the insides of a book? Why would I even do such a thing? But I wasn't going to get into an argument over it so refunding it was just easier.

In my whole life, I've never had an elevator change direction before when riding it.

I try to talk myself out of a creative rut. One of the things that motivated me? A podcast interview I did recently.

I don't know. Maybe it's silly. I haven't edited it yet.

Creating my webcomic book cover for print on Amazon KDP I have all the pages set up for the book and ready to go and then at the end it's like "oh right I still need to create the cover for the book!" I don't know why but this part always makes me the most anxious. Maybe it's because it's the way the book is going to be represented? It's so weird, in my books I'm telling very personal things in my webcomics themselves but the cover is the thing that is making me anxious. I mean this is gonna be what I show when I say to people, hey I created this book you should check it out!  Maybe I'm being silly I don't know? ( Related post: Using Google Photos and Google Docs To Make My Webcomic Book ) Using other books as references for the cover What I did to kind of help me with this is I would reference these old comic strip books that I have. I like the styles of these books and I collect them. Collection of old comic strip paperback pocket books I h...
