A.P. Fuchs Live No. 1 Bookshelf Tour

Posted on February 26, 2024 5:00 am by A.P. Fuchs

A.P. Fuchs Live No. 1 Bookshelf Tour

So on Friday night, I decided to experiment with YouTube’s live stream feature. I’ve never used it before so hopped on the app and poked at some of the buttons to see what did what and what the interface looks like. Things seemed simple enough and we were able to get things going. To make the video interesting outside of me yapping at the camera and pushing buttons, I gave a brief tour of my home library along with some of the collectibles cluttering the shelf.

The plan is to revamp the studio for 2024 and all those collectibles like Funko Pops! etc. that require a shelf for display will be moved into the studio and current swathe of action figures covering the studio walls will be replaced with some new ones along with the shelving.

I also plan to do some other cool things with the studio when redecorating and I’ll share them with you when I do a 2024 Studio Tour video. Here’s the 2023 Studio Tour.

Anyway, this was the live stream and bookshelf tour. I plan to do more but one thing at a time.

Be sure to subscribe for pop culture and book and comic goodness!

Hotwheels Muscle Car Shorts and Reels No. 3

Posted on February 17, 2024 5:00 am by A.P. Fuchs

It’s been a very long while since I did a Hotwheels muscle mania muscle car showcase on this blog so here are some muscle car shorts.

Here are three awesome muscle cars to take a gander at. Frankly, I think muscle cars are one of the best-looking cars on the market. Some simple yet powerful about them. It’s a dream to own one but I need to sell more books and comics to do that.

One thing at a time.

Enjoy!

Canister X Mailbag – Black Playing Cards Unboxing – 02072024

Well, we got sucked back into the world of TEMU and got ourselves some playing cards on the cheap, and since specialized playing cards usually cost you your eye, these were deals I couldn’t pass up.

Into black? Then these black playing cards are for you. Well, they’re for me but we’ll pretend to share over the Interwebs.

Status Report – 021324

Status Report – 021324:

All right, so things are starting to come together. Just over the weekend I received back the edits for AXIOM-MAN/CRIMSON CLOAK: SCARLET SYNERGY, which means that after I go over the edits (which is me doing just that: looking at the edits only prior to a final pass), the book goes into the production machine, gets a final look-over, then off to you, dear reader.

I’m really excited to release this book. It’s not your usual Axiom-man story and it was a chance for me to start a mythology that may or may not be true. I’ll leave that to you to decide for when the book comes out.

Also, I got the final piece I needed for my Writing 101 series I’m bringing to YouTube. There’s a method to the madness here and a bit of scheduling. It’ll all make sense as the episodes come out.

Lastly, this week is also a major work week with a ton of hours needing to be put in so if I’m a bit silent on the social feeds, that is why.

This has been your Status Report for 021324.

Canister X Mailbag – Neck Massager, Display Stand, and Gold Playing Cards Unboxing – 02072024

We experimented with a new online vendor for some affordable necessities. The store is called Temu, a place to get things at a severe discount but also reliable service and ease of use. We checked the reviews of the app before purchasing and the reviews held up so we took a shot in the dark . . . and the shot came back with what I ordered.

Please enjoy this “experimental” unboxing video.

How to Budget as an Author or Artist

Posted on February 7, 2024 5:00 am by A.P. Fuchs

How to Budget as an Author or Artist

Last Friday, I released an important essay to my patrons on how an author or artist can managing funding their current and future projects while still reaping the reward. How to budget as an author or artist is huge right now in this digital do-it-yourself era.

I cover a solid tip here on this site but the real meat and potatoes is below.

Excerpt:

“Money management can be the bane of many creators. It can be difficult to juggle funds for your project as well as keeping the financial reward from that project while also ensuring funds are available for the next project (never mind juggling the costs of life on top of this, especially in this era of inflation).

Here’s a solid approach:

First, understand the moment you decide to take your creation public and start charging money for it, you’re a business not a person. That’s how businesses work: They make something and sell it. No different here.”

Please visit here for the rest of the essay. Its intent is to save creators headaches regarding funding their work.

Project Blog Site Adjustment

Posted on February 6, 2024 5:00 am by A.P. Fuchs

Project Blog Site Adjustment

So if you read last weekend’s edition of THE CANISTER X TRANSMISSION, it was revealed that I spent last week working on this website behind the scenes while I wait on the editor for AXIOM-MAN/CRIMSON CLOAK: SCARLET SYNERGY and for my [hopeful] blurb for CAUGHT IN BLACK HEADLIGHTS. (The latter is presently airing on Patreon.)

This is an old site. If you’ve been with me even for just the past 5 or 6 years, you know a lot of content has been put up here. And as good as that is–because I want you guys to have content–technology and software is changing all the time (as we all know) so there are parts of this site on the interface side of things where all this content is produced that needs updating and adjustment.

I’ve managed to create an organized workflow to get it done and thus far have altered the Book and Comic Shop and the titles therein (plus a few other page tweeks). If you check it out, you’ll notice the book pages are laid out differently than before. This was a move to get rid of some old, unnecessary coding that, while it worked for a while, could have been better in terms of title presentation so that’s what I did: Made the book pages pretty just for you. Awww.

So you might notice over the next bit slight modifications to this site in terms of appearance. I like this blog site the way it is in terms of having the columns with the books and other bonuses along the sides with the main content in the middle. Keeps the fun stuff easily accessible while you peruse the content down the center.

Anyway, website-wise, that’s what’s been going down. It’s a bit of a big project on the whole but easy to manage when broken into chunks.

I look forward to having it done within the next month or so. It’s kind of a pick-at project so will take some time.

Cheers.

2024 Studio Changes

Posted on February 3, 2024 5:00 am by A.P. Fuchs

2024 Studio Changes

Well, I’ve been working in the same space for almost five years. This is the only room in the house that accomodates my desks and equipment to bring you books and comics and a pile of other stuff.

However, it’s time to change the decor and shuffle things around. Depending what Melinda says, I might even be able to free up an additional 2′ x 6′ area that’s presently occupied within the studio. As well, with a new studio layout comes new decorations so I’d like to showcase the studio as it is right now one more time before we say farewell to this version and change things up for 2024 and beyond.

Here’s the teaser I shot to hint at the tour:

The Phantom’s Door. A.P. Fuchs Studio Tour coming soon to YouTube

And here is the tour itself. Hope you tune in when the 2024 studio changes kick in and all is complete and a tour is given.

See you inside.
