Cartoon Marketing

27/02/2025

The issue with working in a creative field ... is that you keep having ideas for new side projects. Some are useful, some are fun, some are ... both? We'll let the internet decide 🤭

A growing hobby of mine is the fascinating world of tabletop roleplaying games (think: Dungeons and Dragons!) Every year for the month of February, Kickstarter hosts a challenge for people to create fun games and accessories for the niche community. And this is my entry for 2025!

It's a printable To Do system for your real life, themed in the style of a RPG character sheet, called INITIATIVE - where you "level up your habits, attack your todos and live your own campaign."

If you've got a nerdish streak like me, and enjoy trying new systems to help organise your life, it might be right up your alley! 🎲

✅ Level up your habits ✅ Attack your tasks ✅ Live your own campaign!

Got back from France a couple weeks ago! Had an amazing time galavanting around the countryside and eating more croissants than I probably should.

Paris has been getting their ducks in a row for the Olympics, and I've been getting my ducks in a row for your cartoon needs! The website has had a recent lick of paint, and there's some sneaky new product variations including Birthday Postcards and Business Cards!

If it's been a while since you've looked at your marketing collateral, there's no better time than a fresh financial year to tick off an easy win by requesting a free mockup. You'll find me in the studio, daydreaming of beaches and cheese, and pretending it's not winter.

Come say hi! www.cartoonmarketing.net

🇫🇷 I'm heading on holidays in two weeks! So I have two things to ask you:

1️⃣ Any travel recommendations? It's been a while since the last overseas trip (pre-covid) and we'll be spending a few weeks lazily touring the southern French countryside. Tips and must sees - I'm all ears!

2️⃣ Planning a postcard order soon? A heads up to send through your orders ASAP. All orders received while I'm eating croissants and wheels of cheese will be processed when I'm back in the southern hemisphere - mid June.

Looking forward to hearing from you - otherwise I'll see you on the other side!

🤔 Do you have a strategy for recalling customers who haven't booked their next appointment?

Don't leave it up to fate, take action! Sending a friendly reminder can be both helpful AND friendly for both parties. Your "lost" customers aren't lost, they're just busy - so reach out with a smile!

If you're in the market for something memorable, I can help with affordable cartoon recall postcards & MMS text messages designed specifically for Aussie dental clinics.

A creative mind never rests! 😅

Something I've enjoyed dabbling in for a long time is making websites! The web is always changing, and I find I enjoy learning the most when I'm working on quirky little projects.

I wanted an excuse to dip my toes into learning javascript over the holiday period, so I set myself this fun programming challenge... It will change the world, no doubt...

Introducing, the most important website you'll ever want to visit in your entire life: www.isitcheatday.com 🤔

IS IT CHEAT DAY? 🤔 Ask the all-knowing oracle!

[ New Cartoon ] "Elective" dentistry 😜

A fun new cartoon for the catalogue! This one was drawn after helping a recent client send friendly followup cards to their patients post-surgery.

Also, I may or may not own a big fluffy purple bathrobe... 🤫

📰 Look mum, I'm in the paper!

"... after a decade of drawing and releasing a weekly online comic strip, I finally got to a point where all three circles of the Venn diagram overlapped: something you love / something you’re good at / something people want. This was the moment I started the business."

"I’d love to keep expanding the business into new industries and new countries. The idea of someone in another country recognising and enjoying something I drew over here in WA makes me feel inspired."
