CONFLICTING SIGNS One of my college professors gave an assignment one day of coming up with a list of things that both attract you and distract you at the same time. Some examples are kissing a rocking hot girl with really bad breath, or picking a rose and cutting your finger on the thorn. Life is […]
I am greatly encouraged by the number of webcomics and the comic creators now circling the globe on the world wide web–each one a product of a unique artist who has a unique story to share, and a unique way of sharing it. This grassroots movement of artists sharing their goals and visions will usher […]
I’ve been wondering why people make excuses for not living their life to the fullest. I don’t know if they run into obstacles and just quit, or if they are scared, or there is self-doubt. What is it that causes some people to push ahead and other people to sit in their almost non-existant life […]
You may find that you face your own hinderances making comics. I’d like to know what specific burdens you are facing.
