Almost every single day, we receive same question from many friends and colleague: “When will we get Petshopbox newest comic book?”. The reality is, after Scarlet (Published by PT. Elex Media Komputindo) in 2002, Petshopbox has never publish another comic book.
But we do not stop creating art. Now, based on commercial issue, we create more science book for children (PT. Elex Media Komputindo), Illustrations for children’s book (Eduard Publishing, Finland) and Vector art (istockphoto). Lately, we started creating doujinshi because of the situation is good for it.
It doesn’t mean we do not want anymore to create another comic book. But, since commerciality is always an issue here (many comic studio decided to stop creating comic because of this kind of issue also), worsen by some big publishing doubt about Indonesian comic, suddenly our dream job as a comic artist turns out to be nightmare (especially about financial aspect). That’s why we decided to move to other kind of job as long as it still required illustrations.
Not just for Petshopbox Studio sake, but for many comic artist in Indonesia. Help us, friends. Please, don’t just waiting and asking about our new comic book. But, if there are comic artist or comic studio try to sell you some other product than comic book, if you have a little spare money, please support us by buy those products. If you don’t like the product, maybe you can help us by promote it to another person that likely to like it. Or maybe you can buy it as a gift or present for someone. Because, we’re all struggle here, try to raised the financial requirement to be able to create another comic book.
Come on friends, support Indonesia comic and comic artist. Without all your support, Indonesian comic will never be able to stand up in our own country.
