About Me

Welcome! I'm Rachel Keslensky, and I write Blog of Last Resort, a blog about making webcomics successful, from gathering audiences and finding new tools to widen your reach to making money off your hard labor.

I created the science-fiction webcomic Last Resort (Think Running Man done in the distant future, with a little Disney magic in the mix) and have drawn it for about a year so far, though the story's been in my head at least twice as long.

The blog has several functions, almost all of which should serve as a way to help other bloggers (particularly those that like drawing pretty pictures):

• Talking about advertising systems available for you, such as Project Wonderful (or free advertising systems, like Entrecard) and Web 2.0 gadgets you might find useful either for the traffic boost or for your own purposes, like Skribit, StumbleUpon, and Squidoo!
  
• Sometimes talking specifically about comics, like this article about break panels (or drawing pin-ups that are both flattering and feminist-friendly)
  
• And a few posts about my own comic, both to talk about my comic and to give an example of how pushing a comic brand gets done.
  

I can be reached a number of ways, depending on how you plan on getting a hold of me: the easiest is to email me at rach@lid.cc in order to get my ear best. I'm also using plenty of nifty social sites that you can friend me on:

• StumbleUpon
• Digg
• Twitter
• Squidoo
  

Other than that, consider using the Skribit widget on the sidebar to suggest new article topics, or hanging out in the Last Resort forums to comment on the comic or otherwise suggest something interesting for it.
