Happy Mother's Day

I know the day is almost over (I was spending celebrating mother's day with my mom) but I and Graffiti On The Sun wanted to wish everyone a happy Mother's Day.

mistakes and learning that yes I suck

here is something I have realized for a while but didn't want to share with anyone.

the first issue of Brer Warrior sucks...it looks terrible.

the problem is simple I have been thinking about getting into comics for a long time but haven't really attempted to. sure I submitted a few things to publishers and got them rejected (and that's if I heard anything from them in the first place) but a last year (well the year before last really) I made the leap.

I really didn't know what I was doing but learned a long the way. not kn owning what I was doing I used the wrong tools to work with on that issue. yes I use a pen to ink my book. I know what a moron inking not with brush and some Indian ink but a cheap pen.

I then scanned the book in to low of a res.

also I wasn't really good at coloring the cover...something deep down I notice when I did it but was to high on buzz of getting my first comic book out.

I learn from those mistakes, I'm now inking via gimp, scanning better and working on coloring.

I haven't talked about this because I wasn't sure if I should and to be honest very ashamed but I finally figure it's best to talk about it, maybe by talking about my mistakes someone else will be warned to look at what they are doing and not do the same boneheaded things I did.

off with their heads?

So a while ago I was drawing one of my comics and someone looked at my art work just as I finished drawing a female character's head but before I started drawing the character's body.

well they say that picture and got mad because they just thougth I was drawing sereved head and they started to cuss me out because of it. To put it mildly they basically called me a sick sexist psycho.

I told them that I was finished with the picture and they told me they didn't care as they kept yelling at me for a long time as I tried to explain.

after awhile I gave up and just finished my picture and then they say it and said..."oh"

no sorry, just "oh" and then they said..."why didn't you tell me you where still working on the picture?"

I replied that I did.

and agian they just said "oh"

Don't know why I'm sharing this story except that I thought it was interesting. Things like this is why I tend to not like people watch me while I draw.

I guess I can understand the anger a little the person didn't know what I was drawning and just went on what they say. But I would have thought it would have been easy to see that I was still drawing.

staying on the grind because it's better then many others

I'm sure you've had it. A day where you don't feel like working

depending on your job you've had it more often then not.

Today (well now yesterday) was one of those days for me.

It may surprise some but you still get that feeling sometimes when you are working for your self and doing something you love. Now being self employed it's easy to just not work and do something else because you have no boss that will fire you for slacking off but being self employed if you don't work you don't eat so the drive to plow trough is much stronger.
