Details
OhmArt is humour based or biased, depending on your view, on electronics. I’m passionate about electronics because, some might say, “Ohm is where the ‘art is”.
You can get your favourite cartoon on a shirt, mug, mousepad etc by visiting the OhmArt store on Zazzle.com. They regularly have specials on merchandise and sometimes even shipping, so it’s worth keeping an eye out. Alternatively, the CafePress OhmArt store has some different styles and stuff.
If you’re a publisher, academic, or electronics company interested in using some of my work, you’re welcome to contact me to discuss this. Please don’t rip off my work without asking first, I do put quite a bit of effort into creating these. Karma and all that, y’know?
How do you contact OhmArt?
Simple. You can either leave a comment right here, or on a recent post in the blog. I do love to hear from people – even moreso if they buy a T-shirt. Just kidding. No, I’m not. No really, I’ll get back to you as soon as I can. Thanks.

Please get rid of the slideshow or have an alternative. I didn’t have enough time to see the comics before the slideshow continued, resulting in needing to constantly go back.

Hi Thanos – I agree – the slideshow was ok when there were less than 40 but it’s getting a bit unwieldy now. I will split it into 3 pages for now, while I think about better ways of handling the cartoons. Thanks for the comment! Have a great day.

I think a split is not really necessary but a pause button is!
Hilarious stuff, by the way

Thanks, I’m in two minds (split maybe?!) about the page. As more cartoons come in, it’ll take ages to load up. I’ll investigate the XML etc behind the slideshow and see if there’s a way of pausing. If not, there’s probably a delay in seconds, that could be upped from about 4 or 5 to say 30. Cheers for the comment

Cartoons re-arranged… much more accessible now. Just need a nice front page now

Hi
At school we all have to produce some electronics revision notes and mine are going to be in HTML format and shared within school, and was wondering if it was OK if I included some of your cartoons – with a credit, of course

Hi David, that’s fine as long as you put a reference to http://www.ohmart.org on each one – I’d appreciate that. Would be nice to see a picture of the end result, see how you go! All the best, Barney.

Hi there,
We spoke briefly once before. I love using your cartoons on my Moodle site for my high school students to enjoy. Now I cannot seem to copy the images anymore. I was going to include the “truth table” cartoon and one of the “LED” cartoons. I always include your website with the cartoons. Is there any way I can get a copy?
Thanks,
Rosie

Hi Rosie, I’ve been re-organising the site a wee bit to make the load times faster. I will send you the truth table cartoon tonight. If you like, send me the numbers of the others you’d like (just post a comment with the numbers). Send me a link too of your Moodle site; I’d love to see the cartoons in action. All the best! Barney.

Hi, I’m runing a course for Teachers unsing PICAXE chips and found your cartoons, not least the excellent picaxe one.
Can I use it on the front cover of my handout booklet please?
Did you ever see the Elektor Electronics cartoon book series “The adventures of Resi and Transi”. Your work has a similar (but often crafty technical depth) flavour.
Resi and Transi Banish the Mysteries of Electronics
In fact as teaching aids to help circuit understanding might you publish them electronically for classroom use?? (for a fee…)
Kind regards

Hi there Gareth, sure – you’re welcome to put the PICAXE cartoon on there. If you could include the URL http://www.ohmart.org underneath, that would be good – that links to an online store where every T-shirt, mug, or mousepad I sell with a cartoon on helps pay for pens to draw more cartoons
Please send me a photo of the finished product if you will, it’s nice to see where my work ends up 
I hadn’t seen Resi and Transi, but it looks very well done!
I’ll send you an email about using some as teaching aids. The fee would be pretty small
Kind regards
Barney

I’ve got one for ya that I remember from an electronics hobbyist magazine in 1964. It depicts a trestle bridge of formidable size across a watery straight. In the middle is a gigantic sling that looks suspiciously like a diaper. Holding the diaper up is big steel hook hanging from the clouds. Two engineer types are in the foreground and one is saying, “looks like he wasn’t too sure of his design, eh?” as he waves his pipe knowledgeably in the air.
(I’m thinking about a mug to put next to my Beavis and Butthead one that I found at the dollar store).
Cheers, love yer site, keep on keeping on.
