A some of you may know, it’s now been about a year since circumstances forced a change in career to FULL-TIME Artist. I’ve had PLUGOarts probably since the turn of the century but as my skills and ambitions grow I’ve launched other endeavors. They included MartialArtsMasks.com<\/a> and a more formal PatrickLugo.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But that’s not all, setting aside commercial design has allowed my comics creativity to flourish. I dipped my toes into some political cartooning, Rayo Cosmico Publishing<\/a> has releasethe Middle Grade eBook Lucy Veloz: High-flying Princess<\/em><\/a> (with a paperback soon to arrive) and I launched the webcomic ZONG Q<\/em><\/a> as a 2020 Halloween special). But there are a bunch of other comics and creative projects in the works. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

and that’s why I’ve decided to start a newsletter. Now I don’t quite have a schedule for it, and I promise to keep it short and useful. After all, I’ve got this blog (and social media friends) for rambling. Hopefully I’ll come up with a more clever name than PLUGOnews<\/strong>. Maybe PLUGOmuses<\/em>? But if you’re willing to give it a shot and sign-up… I’ve got a very special and personal comic I’ve been working on that I would love for you to read; for free.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Just sign up below or over to the right and I’ll send you to it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
