For Sale: Humour and Electronics

[nbw]

Hi there, I'm Barney from New Zealand - long time electronics enthusiast (mainly old school transistors and such, but slowly learning about BASIC and PICs). When I'm not testing LEDs and waving aside solder fumes, I also like to design cartoons with an electronics bias (ha ha). Some folks in the past have expressed interest in having them on a T-shirt or mug, so I've done that for anyone who wants to carry their favourite around with them. I do a new design roughly weekly, and I post the design on my blog for folks that want to keep up to date with that (links are below)

I'm not affiliated to a company or anything like that, it's just me wanting to share my admittedly and unashamedly electronic sense of humour with like-minded people. I think my designs and humour are about as relevant to the forum as anything will ever get!

I call my stuff 'Ohmart', because for me 'Ohm is where the 'art is'

Enjoy!

Love it, the cartoons are awesome.

Love your cartoons; I've been reading your AAC thread since you started it.

cheers guys! It's taking a bit of time to make posts everywhere, so I'm now focussing on posting new designs and cartoons to my blog, and then when I want to help out (where I can) with some electronics experience, I can pop by the forums.

Great that folks enjoy reading them as much as I do making them!

The cartoons are clever... fast recovery diode is good.

thank you! it's a bit of fun making them and it keeps me off the streets, as they say

You might think about getting a website, contacting all the electronics magazines around the world and allowing publishers to download what ever they need for a fee (Paypal). Low-res viewing (for those just interested to amuse themselves) and high-res downloads (after paying a fee for a publisher) could be good.

An agent is even better, they organize it all and you are left to do what you do best, which is to create.

Hi there, I have a site (www.ohmart.org) with galleries of cartoons and links to a simple store where people can buy their favourites on shirts, mugs, mousepads, electric toothpick dispensers (kidding)... I sell a couple of things a month. Not enough to keep me in drawing pens LOL. It would be nice to be exposed a lot more (in a good way!) to the electronics community as often we're not thought of as having a sense of humour...

Occasionally Electronicsweekly.com put a cartoon up on one of their blogs (for free). That's good.

In the meantime, it's all word of mouth!

All the best
Barney
