Comics and Narrowing My Focus

The other shift in my focus that I've noticed is my shift in what mediums I desire to work in. I've made a vow to myself that for the time being, from now on I'm just focusing on comics, illustration, literary fiction (novels, short stories), memoir journals, and screenwriting.

What's missing from that list? Animation and pre-production genres of course! At one point on top of all those other things I'd draw concept art, conceptual artwork, lighting design, production design, character design, and mecha design. Not for mainstream stuff as I could never figure out how to get hired for a job at a studio and ended up stuck on the internet, like a lot of kids and adults. I realized animation and anime are a collective art form. One person doesn't just make them unless he is and does the work of animating (and maybe) painting himself on a demo reel (i.e. Thomas Romain and Molly Star Racer).

But comics is something you hold the entire responsibility for as one person, one artist and writer, and no I don't care how Marvel and Image Comics do things. That's not how I DO THINGS. I do everything myself. It's why and how I'm the auteur. The Solo-Gig Vibe is what makes me the auteur of the page and computer screen.
