I have, in my mind, this idea for a grand column that is long… it’s about my own personal comic book art hangups, specifically related to me not wanting to draw my own comics because I think my art sucks. I’m sorry if this is too short, but I wantedContinue Reading
There is a movement in the comic book industry that is finally starting to take a little hold and I wanted to talk about it because if I can make my own comics, this is the method I’d like to use. Before I get into that, though, I wanted toContinue Reading
I’ve talked in the past about getting over bad habits and though I’ve been working hard to avoid mine (the time wasting ones with zero benefit), I’m having a devil of a time staying focused on the prize: progress. I have caught myself at least five times starting to slideContinue Reading
