Thanks for the amazing illustration of the creator's plight. I will remember it the next time I feel the shadows closing in.
Cheers.

You took a black blob and one character and made it speak to me at an interesting crossroad.

Thanks to PaMdora, I found you. And thanks to you, I found a universal message for my artist soul. I'm looking forward to seeing your book.

I totally love this, you're a genius!! Doesn't seem that specific just to a graphic novel, this speaks to me and artists working in ALL media. Truly wonderful, I'm sending all my friends here!!

Great advice and wonderful drawings! The key is to write it all down first... how many times have I thrown script writing out the window because I want to draw and then two months later come unstuck!

That's wonderful advice, Grady! :)
Thanks for making all of the graphic novelists out there feel a little less... crazy. ;)
Can't wait to see the new book! Love the expressions and the colors! :)

Grady-
You've done a grand job of illustrating my personal concerns and struggles in writing a graphic novel. Or in writing... anything for that matter. And not even just writing. Drawing, composing. Just being creative. You've illustrated, elucidated the perils that come with working towards being creative in your own right.
Thanks!
May all good things be yours.
