Let's Get Down Tah Business!

I used to think comics was about standing out, doing your own thing, being an individual, being yourself. But you would be surprised how eager to conform so many young artists in the comic and manga industry are. It's like they have no real drive, or ambition. Just do what someone (a more famous artist or editor or producers) orders them to do, then get the hell out of the room/studio and go home. Do what they're told, then leave. I don't function that way. And because of that, because I do show signs of individuality, because I am a character with a personality of sorts, I was chastised and penalized for it. Kind of a rude awakening. I got in a lot of trouble for essentially being too bright and loud and talkative in comparison to other artists. It was a shame realizing the comic book industry works like that much of the time. Like every other business where dollars are worshipped, and cocky assed snot nosed punk kid superstars get their asses kissed and licked, instead of kicked and handed back to them. It's called the status quo.
