Welcome to Dragon Press Graphics!

I am Nikki O'Shea, the creator of Dragon Press Graphics.

So what IS Dragon Press Graphics and what IS the purpose of this website?

Dragon Press Graphics is a small, home run company, intent on promoting art and comics. We do commission works, as well as personal works. We work on comics and attend conventions and use this website for the display and selling of artwork.

I originally created Dragon Press Graphics about 5 or 6 years ago - time goes by too quickly! Since then, I have slowly been building up for all that time and have changed the layout of this page ALOT...But hopefully I've learned from the many changes and it has become easier to navigate then it used to be.

As many of you may have noticed, the website was missing for quite some time back around Christmas '06, but not only is it back, we finally have a domain name! This means that no matter what else happens, if I continue to have bad luck with servers and such, eventually, you'll be able to find the page again since the domain name (aka, url) will remain the same and all *I* will have to do is move the information.

One of the new things I did as soon as I started the new incarnation of the site was to integrate the two seperate shops (I had one EACH for Dragon Press Graphics as well as The Bards Comic). This should make it easier to keep up to date and offer special promotions.

  • Anime Boston : Hynes Convention Center - Boston, Massachussets on March 21st - 23rd OVER
  • PAC: Providence Anime Conference - Providence Rhode Island, October 3rd through 5th
  • Bakuretsucon : Hampton Inn Conference Center - Colchester, Vermont on October 24th - 27th
  • Another Anime Con - located right here in Nashua, NH -STILL THINKING

June 16, 2008:

I have had to mess with the invisible tables for this front page to re-align everything. Changing content to force the page to line up better because the tables won't listen to my 'width' demands even when I FORCE it to expand by using a graphic (which works on Firefox, but not on IE.)

I wish I understood tables better. I've learned all this manually, and do all my coding by hand. On the bright side, everything is pretty much all done and set up on the shop. A few things on the rest of the site need fleshing out information wise, but everything is there, and formatted the same for consistancy with all links - except the contact button (more info below) - working.

In the meantime, I have definitly decided that this color scheme works rather well with my new title gifs and side menu buttons, and I hope that it achieves the same effect for the visitor to my site as it does for me.

Recap of Old News:

Bards Comic is continuing to update once a week on Friday nights (exact time subject to how late I stay up after my late shift), and there are some specials happening in the Bards T-Shirt section of the shop.

Speaking of the shop - Shipping prices are no longer calculated based on the amount of money you've spent. Instead - paper items (aka prints/commissions) have no extra charge to ship while the shipping prices are automatically factored into the prices when purchasing shirts. I have buttons up currently for purchasing shirts IN the USA as well as Belgium. More choices will be available as people make the demand for it.

All Books will be done through Lulu.com and subject to their shipping calculations, same with items from Cafe Press.

About Updates: Please remember that even if I don't update this page with "Specific" Updates, that does not mean I'm not working on it. It may be that I ran out of time and later forgot to update this portion after making a change. sometimes the change is very minor, or just loading a new picture to one of the galleries.

I don't plan on attending very many Conventions this year, but I do plan on looking into more local venues such as:

  • Galleries
  • Art Shows
  • Craft Fairs
If you live in the area of Nashua, NH, I would welcome any and all information you can give me about upcoming events.

Secondly, sometimes when I cannot attend a convention, I do send a limited amount of my stuff with other artists - so you may see me even still!

Current Showcase Section:

The Bards Comic

CONTACT BUTTON:

The side bar contact button is NOT yet working. I used a special code to keep bots from snagging my email address when making a contact point, but I have thus far been unable to integrate it with an image in the usual fashion. Hopefully, I can remember where I got the code from and see if there is anything to rectify that situation. In the meantime, the plain old type written one below this blurb still works. Sorry for the inconvenience.
