The Processpod: A magnetic lapboard, May Plans, and asking for help if you need it.

Hi Internet! I make comics and art, my name is Max, and sign my work Salgood Sam! [it's my name backwards, long story.]

This clip, I wanted to share a fun DIY thing, I made my lapboard magnetic! I got some sheets of 8"x12" 1/32" 430 stainless steel, and to make them nicer to work with, I used a metal file to chamfer and round the sharp edges. 

It's for a May project and also just because I want to get out of the house for drawing or just being a bit more this summer. And that is not because of but, recently accentuated by one aspect of recent sad events.

Which also led me to talking about seeking help if you're in a dark place, not choosing permanent solutions to temporary problems, and if you feel like you can't talk to anyone then call 988. There is help.

There's going to be some news soon about the May Project, and I'm probably going to record something about another thing this weekend or later this week about.

But for now that's all for this one!

I have several books in print already. Some out of print even! You can find my self published POD and digital comics here. https://spiltink.gumroad.com/

I relaunched my podcast and started using Substack! But then I decided to semi retire from doing a lot of social media hustling for my work - partly the day job but also got the day job because getting too old for all that, will have to hire help IF I ever dive back into it. So it's all been a bit sleepy BUT if you're interested subscribe here and over on sub stack to get the latest of whatever I am up to.
