Name Ian Andersen
First post November 2009
Location Houston, TXIan Andersen always liked comics, but it wasn’t until he found James Kochalka’s American Elf that he started making his own. “The idea of just doing a strip a day about my own life really blew me away,” he says. Like many other cartoonists before him, he discovered that this daily routine pushed him to improve his ability in both drawing and writing. Ian has posted a daily comic for two years now, attends college, and drinks lots of coffee.

Their mission: Write about anything, as long as it isn’t boring and doesn’t suck.
Clark went on a harrowing bulldog walk last weekend that lasted nearly 30 minutes and spanned fifteen blocks!Some moments deserve more than one angle. That’s why we’re ecstatic to give Photosets a huge upgrade today, giving you new levels of control to tell your stories the way you want to.
1) Photoset photos now open in all their high-res glory on the Dashboard and on your blog.
2) You can now pick a layout for your photos to tell the right story.
3) Tumblr Themes can now make Photosets look and work any way you please with a host of new theme variables:
{block:Photoset} <!-- Number of photos --> {PhotoCount} <!-- Integer representation of the layout --> {PhotosetLayout} <!-- JS array of the Photoset column counts --> {JSPhotosetLayout} <!-- Each of the Photoset photos --> {block:Photos} {PhotoURL-500} {block:HighRes} {PhotoURL-HighRes} {/block:HighRes} {Caption} {block:Exif} ... {/block:Exif} {/block:Photos} {/block:Photoset}Enjoy!
