At last I (Nayt) have published the first eXpungement2012 comic into web land. It is lovingly titled The Nothing Is Epic. Some day I sure would like to be published by a publishing house with stuff like this, but for now, at least it is out there. I am very proud of it, and I am happy I can actually put my mind to projects like this in the middle of being a father and a husband. It can be like this all the time!
So, check out MagCloud and peruse the issue. Or just buy it! I will even get some money (MagCloud doesn't keep all of it). After this I will compile all of my old comic strips from Flagstaff times into a book. I wanted to include that as a mini-pamphlet-type insert inside this here epic comic novel, but there are limitations to this online publishing thing.

Issue #4 - Autumn
Issue numero quatro Autumn is available to order online. We're not mailing them out in a big batch like we used to. If you would like a magazine, you have to take the initiative. It's easy, though, so long as you have a PayPal account or a credit card. Our other issues are on there, too.
We're really interested in knowing what people think of these MagCloud magazines. They might be righteous meat. Or, they may lack that certain DIY-something that made Once Human adorable in the first place. Let us know at oncehumancrew@gmail.com

Contributions Extension- Issue #4
Since we hadn't received anything for our magazine by this day, we figure we'd just "start anew" and say you have two weeks to saddle up and make it happen. The deadline is now November 6th, 2008.
Our theme is AUTUMN. Leaves. Breath in the air. Decay. Hard Light. Juncos. Pumpkins. A heightening of sense. Mortality. Many things change, and this is often a time where people perennially reflect upon the nature of themselves.
Why not Autumn? For many a dreamer, it's the best time of year. And if you already had something in mind to contribute, it'll fit right in.
This issue is in color. 8.5" x 11"
[ Two weeks from now ]
Thank you for your wonderful self and its potential offering to our magazine. Remember, it can be anything....Don't think too hard.

Call for Contributions - Issue #4
Hi humans!Look! Once Human is back in the saddle. The website is updated (completed, you might say). Previous issues are finally viewable and even downloadable as .pdf's. We're going to add more to the site in the very near future.
We're moving on to our fourth issue! We're ditching the idea of a guideline for this one, as far as theme goes. Keep in mind that this issue will be in COLOR. So, if nothing comes to mind, use "color" as a theme. Send us your writing or visual artwork and we'll make something with it. Your vision is important to us, so we'll keep it intact. Our hunch is that while reviewing the contributions a theme will emerge. That's how these things go.
Send all contributions to: oncehumancrew@gmail.com
All submissions must be received to that e-mail address by October 24 at midnight.
The magazine will be on paper again this time. We will be using a revolutionary online service called MagCloud to distribute Once Human, so you will have to go online later to order your copy. You can go to our little slice of Magcloud and browse and order any of our past issues. Pretty bad ass, as in this way, we the editors don't have to front lots of money to print these. It's very swank. It's also an experiment, so we'll see how this service performs...
The size of the magazine will be 8.5 x 11 inches. Preferred formats for graphics are .jpg or .png in high resolution. 300 dpi or higher, please.
If you have something you are working on that you want to share, that is absolutely a contribution. Let us know. We can do "advertising" for your project, cause, website, whatever.
If anyone is interested in ordering large quantities to give away or sell in their communities, please contact us. Those of you in other far off cities with your own communities: SPREAD THE WORD! Pass this e-mail along. Send e-mail addresses to us and we will add them to our mailing list.
Ok, so that's it. Direct questions to us here at oncehumancrew@gmail.com. Now get off of your ass, go create, and share your life with everyone! We want to see what YOU are up to.
