FAQs

I am consistently humbled by the number of inquiries I receive; but it’s gotten to the point where it’s very difficult for me to answer all of them. So if you have any, please read this first. If you still have questions don’t hesitate to email me at   thisishangingrockcomics@gmail.com  

 If you would like to know the full story of how I started Hanging Rock Comics, you might want to read this post

 Do you draw everything that you post? 

Yes, all the comics I post are drawn by me by hand unless otherwise stated. 

 Where do you live? 

Carmel, Indiana. It’s lame as hell 

 Will you draw me? s

I’m sorry but I can’t right now. But if you’re interested in commission work just shoot me an email.

 How long does it take you to do the comics or illustrations? 

It all depends on the size, detailing, and style. But usually 10-20 minutes, 30-45 for more intricate or long ones. Some take an hour though, it all depends.

 Why haven’t you answered my ask? 

I’m so sorry but I don’t check my messages/ asks on tumblr. However if you email me I will certainly try to get back to you. If I don’t respond to you I’m really sorry- I do appreciate your words and I wish I had the time to get back to everyone.

 Do you dress like how you do in your comics?

Pretty much. I can’t wear contacts so the big glasses work and I guess they’ve become my thing and I’m comfortable in them. I wear my hair in a side braid a lot because then you can’t really tell that I didn’t wash it. 

Anyway I love and collect band tee shirts and wear them all the time, I’m also passionate about jean jackets.

 What grade are you in? 

I’m a junior in highschool so grade 11!

 Do you plan on going to college? 

I think so and I’d like to but I have no idea what the future will bring.

 Are you single? 

Nope I have a rad boyfriend named Talbott who I dig a whole lot. 

 Is the girl in the comics supposed to be you? 

Yeah the girl I draw very often who wears glasses and band shirts is me.  

 What are your favorite bands? 

That’s so fucking hard and it changes all the time but the Sonic Youth and Black Flag are probably my favorite bands.

But I love all the music and bands in my tunes tag.

 How many followers do you have? 

I currently have like 50,000ish so thank you all very very very much!!!!

 Do you have a Facebook/Twitter/Deviantart/Formspring/

Last.fm/Skype/Cellphone? 

I recently deleted my personal Facebook, my twitter, and the Hanging Rock Comics Facebook fan-page because it’s all just not my thing. 

And I don’t have a cellphone because well I don’t really know I just don’t. So yeah, tumblr is the only site you’ll find me on for now!

 Where does the name Hanging Rock come from? 

Picnic at Hanging Rock was my very favorite movie when I was about 12 and I’m not sure why but I guess when I started out “Hanging Rock Comics” just sounded like a good name. And I’ve thought a lot about changing it but I think I’m stuck with Hanging Rock for now.

 How long have you had a tumblr? 

I created it in the middle of July, 2011 but I didn’t really start using my blog until August.

 Do you have any art training? 

Nope not really besides just a few courses here and there. I’m still not great at drawing but practice has made me better at least.

This is my personal tumblr and my one and only blog.

 Who’s the blond chick with dreadlocks in your comics?

That’s Margo, she’s my best (only) friend.

Yes they’re all based on my lame life.
