Drawing self portraits is not one of my usual passtimes. Here are four unsuccessful examples.

What is this?

Sticky Comics is my (mostly) humorous bunch of random drawings, scrawlings, and comics. (If you Google “sticky comics”, you will find there’s an erotic comic series called “Sticky”, but unfortunately, that’s not my work.)

Who are you?

My name is Christiann MacAuley and I live in Washington, DC. I have a pretty wide bunch of far flung interests and hobbies, from studying German and History to writing novels to technology to outdoorsy stuff and more. I am an avid party animal when I’m not just alone being silly. I guess I’m more of a writer, but I’m trying to get better at art too. Cartooning makes me laugh, which is one of my favorite things to do ever.

How do you make your comics?

I normally draw these pictures by hand and then scan them. Sometimes I color my drawings in Photoshop, but mostly I draw stuff on sticky notes or other paper with pencil and pen. There’s nothing like a brightly colored square of paper and looming deadlines to get me motivated.

How often do you update?

I pretty much add comics whenever I feel like it. Ideally this is 2-3 times a week. Sometimes I take a break. Subscribe to my RSS feed, sign up for email updates, be my friend on facebook, or follow me on twitter to get updates when I add new stuff.

How can I contact you?

Please contact me if you have questions, want to use my comics somewhere, or just want to say hello. Email stickycomics at stickycomics.com or use this form.

Can we be electronic friends?

I’m on twitter (@stickycomics), facebook, and livejournal, so yeah, why not?

Can I buy stuff, like t-shirts, with your comics on them?

You sure can, and they are even screenprinted by hand by my twin sister and I for bonus indie cred. Check out our online store at TenEastRead.com for t-shirts, bags, hankies, stickers, and other fun stuff. You can also donate to sticky comics if you want to support my site but aren’t into buying things. I will even doodle you something and mail it to you if you donate more than $20. Here’s a donate button:

Do you attend comic conventions or other events? Which ones?

Yes! Here’s my schedule of upcoming appearances:

• March 2010: Museum of Cartoon & Comic Art (MoCCA) Festival, New York, NY
• July 2010: ConnectiCon, Hartford, CT
• August 2010: Philadelphia Alternative Comic Con (PACC), Philadelphia, PA
• September 2010: Intervention, Rockville, MD

Please contact me if you want to invite me to another event, I will happily consider it.

When are you going to publish a book?

I think it might be time to put out a book too. I’m laying it out now (August 2010) and hope to have a small number of books self-published in Fall this year (2010). I would really like to find a publisher who is interested in printing and marketing the book more, so if you know anyone who might be interested in publishing a collection of my work, please contact me and let me know!

Can I hire you to create original cartoon art?

Yes, probably! Please contact me and let’s get started.

Can I have permission to use your comics?

Please contact me to obtain permission to use my work in your newspaper, magazine, presentation, newsletter, etc. (I have original print resolution versions of all the artwork on my site that can be provided.) You’re welcome to embed my comics in your website, but please provide credit and link back to my website at http://www.stickycomics.com.

Can I advertise on the sticky comics website?

Yes. You can buy ad space on my website directly through Project Wonderful, or if you had something special in mind, just get in touch.
