A decade ago, I was one year into my Londons Times Cartoon project. I was still living, working, and trying to survive in an abandoned rural Mississippi warehouse. Nobody would rent to me as they, I am certain, felt this former upwardly-mobile yuppie had lost his mind for for starting a comic strip at my age. It was about one year into the project. Not much was happening, and I could clearly see it was turning into yet another hobby, and I would eventually need to take some kind of job in marketing or management, but for now, I was obsessed with seeing the Londons Times project happen. Suddenly an "idea lightbulb" hit me and, , at the time, I thought was brilliant. I would launch yet another comic project titled "Panel Hollywood" which would showcase real celeb caricatures and then mail signed copies to them. Out of the several hundred we mailed out, only about a dozen or so famous persons responded. Some gave reviews, which was my strategy. Their reviews of the work remain on my main cartoon website, and those reviews put us "on the map".

Without the proper posture, playing guitar for long periods of time can cause back strain. Here are a couple of tips about holding your guitar in the correct fashion. Pick up the guitar so that the back of the guitar rests against your stomach. If you play right handed the neck of the guitar should be aiming towards the left. Gently rest the body of the guitar against your upper right thigh. You should hold the guitar neck with your left hand and drape your right arm over the body of the guitar so that your hands can easily reach the strings. Your position should feel both comfortable and natural while you are playing guitar.

Playing a guitar for extended periods of time is really stressful for your back if you don't have good posture.

If it doesn't feel right, try to shift your body around until you feel comfortable and relaxed.
