Draw Better is Back

August 25, 2010 | 9:35 am, by Chris Layfield

For those of you who weren’t following the Twitter feeds, Helpmedrawbetter.com has been up and running for a couple weeks now, so you should go an catch up!

But the biggest news is that you can now suggest drawings again. I know a few of you have been asking me when you could do that again, well that is now! Just head to the site and then to the suggest a drawing page… or click here.

Lastly, I’ve implemented a “buy a print” feature to helpmedrawbetter.com! I’m kinda new at this but I think it will be great. All you have to do is click the “buy a print” button above or underneath any drawing at helpmedrawbetter.com What you will get is a high res version of the print hand signed by me with an additional thank you note included. I think it will be cool way to get a commission of something and a way to help me draw better and help me pay some bills. Both equally important! Let me know if it works or not.

Lastly, thank you to everyone of you out there for being fans of Zap! AND for giving me such great drawing suggestions. You guys really are the best fans you could have!

  • Just a bit of friendly advice from an IT guy: make sure your web folks have your site security shored up.
    Scott Christian Sava (http://thedreamlandchronicles.com) added options to his site for buying prints and such a while back, and his site has been hacked twice since. I don't know for certain that the hacks and the site updates were related, but it would seem to me that adding capability for monetary transactions would make your site more attractive to cybercriminals.

  • I think the reason scott sava has had so much trouble with hacking has to do with his wordpress install and his hosts security settings. It is also possible he has some kind of invalidated form. I bet what Chris has is just a paypal gateway since I doubt he has shelled out the cash for an SSL and shopping cart. Zap has paypal gateways on it and hacking a paypal gateway (can you? doubtful) would just hack paypal and not the other site.

  • yeah im just using paypal right now. i dont know how popular the print option will be, so im starting slow.
