Happy New Year Everyone! 
I’m excited to improve and expand Lemon Inc. in the coming year. Here are my New Year’s resolutions:
- Produce two comics every week. I’m not necessarily going to post them though. I just want to get to a level where I’m comfortable making two a week before I commit to posting them.
- Update this blog more often. I had intended to update it every week but I’ve not made it much of a priority.
- Develop a portfolio. If I want to be a professional artist then I’ll need one. I intend to upload my portfolio pieces to my blog and my Deviantart page.
- Redesign this website. I like how this site looks but I want to get more content “above the scroll”, add spaces for ads, and add some new features.
- Grow my readership. Succeeding with #1 and #2 should help this goal. I also intend to start trying to promote my comic more with social networks and such. Specifically social bookmarking sites such as StumbleUpon and Reddit.
- Begin to monetize the comic. I’m going to start by setting up ad space in a couple of weeks. I also intend to look into selling prints and original art. I realize that it’s hard to monetize a comic that only updates once or even twice a week so this one will be made easier by the success of #1, #2, #4, and #5.
- Be active in the online community. Comment on people’s comics more often, Ustream, try not to disappear on Twitter, etc.
- Exercise weekly… But that’s not related to the comic or my other art projects.
I realize this list is a bit long but all of the things on this list seem important to me. The last few are mostly just goals… I might end up condensing this list a bit so I can be a bit more focused. The first three are probably the most important to me.

Select the card that coincides with the holiday you celebrate, (choose from Christmas, Hanukkah, or Kwanzaa) or just pick the one with your favorite character on it (the recipient may be confused by this but it will simply add to the surprise). Once you have selected a card click on it, print out the card, and fold along the dotted lines. Proceed to distribute to family and friends.
