There's that old cliche that art is never finished, only abandoned. That's the nice thing about comics. It forces you to abandon it long before maybe you're ready to let it go.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Comics are my first love, and I hate seeing an art form that I love suffer.
Comics? Honestly, that's more a matter of nostalgia for me. I think most of that energy has gone to my love of literature and my love of film.
The comics work is very slow, and it basically involves working for sometimes years in isolation and not knowing how the work is going to be received.
Art is never finished, only abandoned.
I love comics work, and I hope I never stop doing it. But at the same time, I have my own law practice that I've built up over quite a while - it's been more than a decade that I've spent building that business - so it seems a little premature to just shut it down after nine months of working at a high level in comics. We'll see.
There are still some people out there who believe comic books are nothing more than, well, comic books. But the true cognoscenti know graphic novels are - at their best - an amazing blend of art literature and the theater of the mind.
I continue to be disappointed that people don't try and diversify the kind of work they are doing in comics.
I still collect comics. I still have a great love and respect for the genre.
Comics creators are generally screwed in life: Most of us who are fortunate enough to do comics full time - which is very few of us - will literally draw until we die because we have no employment structures intact for retirement, much less insurance!
There hasn't been enough change in comics to suit me. I don't know why exactly.
