Cartoonist Offers Cartoons For Licensing Via Online Cartoon Catalog
Illustrator Dan Rosandich introduces new design layout for portfolio site
Chassell, Mich (PRWEB) April 08, 2015
A free daily auto-updating web cartoon for web designers is available. The feature automatically updates at 7PM New York City time, every 24 hours and all cartoons scheduled are guaranteed 100% family friendly. Nothing vulgar. The image is controlled via a PHP script and all that’s needed to add this comical content is a simple line of code which can be provided for easily adding to the HTML of any site or blog.
Cartoons for newspaper editors can easily be acquired by publishers seeking an alternative to signing a syndication contract. Navigate to (top far right menu: Cartoon Catalog) and browse any specific category on this site which offers niche-specific cartoons for daily or weekly newspapers. Images of interest can be supplied in high resolution TIFF format and sized to the preferred column width of choice if requested. Interested editors can purchase in one month increments or test the readership with a week’s worth of cartoons.
Flexible packaging options are available.
Custom cartoon illustrations can be created for any commercial project. Whether for use in print advertising or to use on posters or packaging, humorous illustration is another specialty. Rosandich has created work under the art direction of software designers, for use in “gift books” such as for birthdays, graduations and other special events. Cartoons have also been created for instructional posters, calendars and company greeting cards. Custom cartoons are ideal for promoting events and can be used on apparel such as t-shirts and caps or can be used on direct mail pieces and in email templates, web banners and infographics. Professionals who have customized illustrations created under their art direction will have artwork that is targeted directly to their audience which will make an indelible impression.
Cartoons and humorous illustrations for book publishers are also a specialty as Rosandich has created for many publishers including Pearson Education, John Wiley & Sons, Cengage Learning and Chicken Soup For The Soul. Art directors can acquire existing images from the catalogs or have artwork customized under their direction. Cartoons and comics can be an integral part of any print publishing platform and work well in conveying the message you want to make an impact with

In this series of lectures, Pastor Jim will discuss the history, theology, and politics of Islam from the perspective of an outsider - a Christian looking at the faith group that claims the second largest number of worldwide adherents.

Topics will include the rise of modern extremist terrorism and the role of women in Islamic cultures, as well as an analysis of what the Qu'ran says about Jesus and how Christians might speak meaningfully and respectfully with Muslim neighbors.
The three-week class is open to everyone at no cost, but sign ups are required to assess seating needs. Please contact info@glenkirkchurch.org or stop by the Connection Center on the patio during the weekend worship services.
