List of Cooper Grant webcomic artists

This is a list of possible webcomic artists for the Cooper Grant Proposal.

The deadline for artist submissions is Saturday, February 11th at noon.

Criteria
The point of this panel is to talk about how people make a living by sharing their art freely. Therefore, we don't just want good artists, we want artists with interesting business models or people who can talk about them competently. We are also interested in artists who interact with their fan community in interesting ways, and help their fans become active participants in some fashion.

Suggestions

 * Howard Tayler of Schlock Mercenary
 * Member of Blank Label Comics
 * Full-time cartoonist
 * Already informally invited by Nelson over IRC
 * Said he would come basically at cost... we can give him a little extra ;-)
 * First of Keenspot exodus


 * Phil and Kaja Foglio of Girl Genius Online
 * Started in print world, started publishing in webcomic form as well in order to broaden their appeal (it worked)
 * Critically acclaimed comic to begin with
 * Over a year of publishing in print, which they are in the process of transferring to webcomic form 3 times a week. Interesting business model ideas


 * Eric Burns of Websnark
 * The best-known webcomic critic
 * Now has been hired by Modern Tales (which is the best-known subscription section), but he's been hired to CREATE their free section
 * Knows every webcomic artist ever


 * "The Brothers Chaps", Mike and Matt Chapman, of Homestar Runner
 * OK, it's not a webcomic, it's a web cartoon, but the idea is the same
 * Vastly popular, and the generator of many memes which have penetrated the Swarthmore campus, e.g. Trogdor
