Ever since I started drawing Noise to Signal, people have asked me if it’s possible to get a print. I’ve finally gotten around to looking into that question – and lo and behold, making prints turns out to be perfectly feasible.
So I’m going to start selling prints of Noise to Signal cartoons. And I’d like to do it in two ways.
- First, I want to make prints available for any cartoon someone thinks is good enough to hang on their wall (it’s a hell of a compliment). That’s still in the works.
- But second, there are some special cartoons where I’d like to create a few limited-edition prints.
And that’s where I’d like your help: choosing which cartoons to start with. I want to pick three cartoons for limited-edition prints in time for the holiday season. So here’s my question to you:
Which Noise to Signal cartoon would you most like to receive under your tree / in your stocking / during your awkward office gift exchange / next to your Festivus pole?
Leave your suggestion in the comments below. And as my way of saying thanks – because I appreciate your doing a little free market research for me – I’m going to randomly draw one name from everyone who helps out, and send that lucky winner a print of their favourite cartoon.
We’ll do this for the next week or so, and I’ll announce the three cartoons (they won’t necessarily be the ones that get the most votes, but your suggestions will carry a lot of weight) next Monday.
You can find the Noise to Signal cartoons here. Just drop the URL for your choice in a comment below.
Thanks for your help!
I have a lot of fondness for many of your cartoons
These are my favorite ones:
(a) The one where the grass is always greener on the other side
(b) Not without a bang (for all of us Twitter addicts)
(c) And despite the fact that I hate the swine flu internet drama, I love this one, where you hashtag the H1N1
Of the three, if I had to pick ONE I would pick (c)
Yikes, this was hard. I really liked the facebook election, dkny meet cmyk and facebook dog. The arrrrgh in team was funny in a very dark way.
It finally came down to…drum roll… my top two choices:

I have to say that this one is one of my favs …

Aside from the fact that I think it does encapsulate a major issue in relationships these days (social media mores for modern couples :) – I have also appreciated that a number of your figures in your cartoons are “gender neutral” – so that those of us who are in same-sex relationships can often see themselves in your cartoons :)
My two other favs, just for fun:
http://www.onedegree.ca/2009/04/n2s-on-degrees-of-commitment.html – another one on social media mores for the modern couple
and
http://www.onedegree.ca/2009/05/n2s-on-the-universal-truth-about-airports.html
because it is absolutely true.
So glad you’re starting to make prints! Congrats!!
Here are 3 of my favourites:
3] OLD age is when you actually watch it – being of that age where I have to squint to see many pages, this one touches me.
2] Skip intro – just, yeah!
1] Geeks bearing gifts – it just tickles me!
So topical, too. And who hasn’t been mortified in real time?
