Tie-Dye Heart is a webcomic with one simple purpose - to bring a smile to your day. If you like it, go share it with your friends and add it to your RSS feeds, if not - let us know.
Tie-Dye Heart is already distributed on a few other places on the web and in the real world - contact Ina if you'd like Tie-Dye Heart on your website, or in your local paper, or elsewhere. The entire comic's licensed under a Creative Commons Noncommercial License anyway though, which means you can do whatever you want with it, so long as you link back here, but you can't use it in anything that makes a profit without asking first :).
Like what you see? We always appreciate it when someone links to use from their website, blog, or other home on the web. As requested by some folks out there, here's some images you can use whilst linking to us (highlight the text underneath each one for the HTML if you don't know how to make links):
Tie-Dye Heart is the brainchild of Ian MacGillivray - aka 'Ina'. He's responsible for the awful website design, and all the coding behind that, and comes up with the comic ideas. Born in Cardiff, Ina's a Computer Science student at Aston University who enjoys symmetry, asymmetry and playing jazz wherever he can. All the credit for the comic however, should go to the people below.
Lucie Bradley not only works as an artist for the comic, but as Ina's best friend, is also the only one who can talk him out of some of the more awful comic ideas. Hailing from Cardiff, she's a Chemistry student over at Bath University, as well as an avid musician with a passion for kayaking.
Kieran 'Gib' Hawkes is the man responsible for the website graphics, as well as being one of the comic's resident artists. Originally from Birmingham, Gib's a Chemistry student up at Aston University, and helps to run the Rock Society over there.
Although he doesn't work directly on Tie-Dye Heart, SteveH is the man behind ComicCMS, which powers the back-end of Tie-Dye Heart. Special thanks and a strong recommendation go out to him.
Imogen Hawthorne also draws the occasional comic for us, when she's not designing tattoos or painting art work for friends. She is a trainee optician, and scuba diving instructor currently residing in Birmingham, but originally from the north east of England.
