The Writer-Artist Revolution: Rise of the Artist-Writer
Sometimes, it can be hard to choose between writing and drawing when you do them both so well. But in some ways, you don't have to choose. Here are some notable figures who are known as both Writers AND Artists. All Pioneers in the field of storytelling in general, but also pioneers in being Writer-Artists.
How to Deal With Market Competition As An Animator-Cartoonist....
I'm the guy who could write the book on this topic, because frankly, more losers want to compete with me than anyone else, and it's entirely because of how well known I am. If I wasn't well known, no one would even bother to attempt competing with me, and life would be easy.
My competitors are definitely more noticeable than the competitors of my heroes. I've never even heard of them. EVERYONE knows who MY competition is. Mostly because of how much shame they lack. Apparently they all think they're justified in competing against me and ONLY me so blatantly. Copying everything I do and whatnot, just like Apple and Microsoft.
I try not to focus on competition though.

It's True. In terms of the future, pretty much all modern media is going digital, and will be browsed, downloaded, and uploaded...
TV Shows
CDs
DVDs
Comic Books
Animation
Film
Hollywood
Anime
Novels
It's all going to be available digitally to download, upload, purchase, and store online and on your computer, (some of it for free, and some for a price) in the future.
But I suspect even though it will all be digital, one will still be able to store the data in home entertainment systems and general home electronics hardware that syncs up with all of it.

Used Anime DVD Collection Appraisal: Did The Math!...$860
If I were to sell my used DVD collection, and each disc sold for $4.
My collection would be worth $860 or more.

Why should I care about the "fate of Google" a corporate entity
Why should I care that there's a billion channels on YouTube.
I don't care if there's TEN BILLION channels on YouTube.
If TEN BILLION people are contributing work and content to YOUTUBE,
Then TEN BILLION of those channels need to be MONETIZED and PAID, assuming they're not hate mongers or pornographers of course.
Bottom line, if you don't want to pay 1 BILLION CONTRIBUTORS, Don't LET 1 billion people CONTRIBUTE CONTENT!
You already have MANY billion dollars. Who CARES what YOU want, Google. If you don't want to pay people part of what you make, don't use other people's work (like mine) without paying people (like me).
And HOW DARE YOU give my millions of dollars I earned away to charities. Fuck charities. I want my cut.
