What, Me on Facebook?

Alfred E. Neuman @ Mad Magazine.

That's about what I've always said when someone asked, or wanted to Friend me. Along with, "I don't have time for another social site, I'm already on a few message boards, and my own Blog." But it's been niggling at me for some time, those links from Facebook on my blog stats. Can't see who they're from, because I'm not on it. So, for some reason I chose today to take the plunge, despite having a busy day already. We have family visiting, there's some work I should be doing, and there was a Phillies afternoon game on TV. All those activities suffered for my attention while I tried to set up my page, and instantly began getting messages and "Friend" requests, some from actual friends, some from folks I work with or know in the comics business, and some from total strangers who like my work. It was kind of exciting, but also a bit terrifying.

Several seasoned Facebookers suggested I set up a separate fan page for anyone who likes my work, and that I suggest folks I don't actually know personally might "Like" that page, increasing my presence without overfilling my "Friends" list. This seemed like a good idea, and I acted on it. Too bad you can't "Friend" that page, but you can "Like" it, and follow me there. I don't know how much I'll be on Facebook yet, but I'll certainly be mentioning my signed prints, con appearances, and posts here, as well as answering any questions.

You can find my fan page, "Todd Klein, artist," HERE

And my main page is HERE. Not sure if that link works if you're not on Facebook already. Again, unless I know you personally, I probably won't accept a Friend request there, but you're welcome to read along at either page. And, as I begin to figure things out on Facebook, maybe there'll be more new stuff there, too, if I can find the time.
