Over the last year, you may have noticed that this site has been a little quieter than usual. That’s because I’ve spent a year behind the scenes building up to this day. I’m officially a full time artist.

Today is the official launch of Cartoon Commune! The commune is John and my business site, which is how we’ll be making a living with comics. We’ll keep the business stuff there, and keep our respective sites rolling with free comics and content. We’ll be building it up more as we go, but right now we are offering custom comics. I’ll draw you a custom comic book about whatever you want, and you can do whatever you want with it. Finally all that training doing 48, 72, and 168 hour comics will pay off!

The other big news is that I’ve been signed on as the new artist of the poker webcomic Life’s a Bluff. So you’ll be seeing thrice weekly updates from me over there starting October 1st.

What can you expect to see from ryanestrada.com from here on out? Lots more comics to start. Rather than run a bunch of regular series, I’ll just keep uploading new content as it comes in. New chapters of Frank: The Comic and Aki Alliance, new 24 hour comics, and whatever else I make.

There will also be lots more episodes of my travel series, Expeditions, which has recently been featured on CNN, Rocketboom and youTube. There have been several new episodes lately if you haven’t noticed.

There will be lots more surprises as well, and more stories of the trouble we get into. Just stay tuned.

But since I’m leaving on a plane to India in a few hours, don’t expect to see any new comics from me today.
