One of the big thrills of going to SPX was the fact that my favourite webcomic creator was going to be there. As I said previously, I spotted her within a few minutes of getting to the hotel and then I immediately felt like I was over my head. Then, my table turned out to… Continue reading 51. Hero Worship

This comic came solely out of Kevin, Sarah and I talking about my previous comic about the first meeting between me and them. Sarah and I were debating who clung onto who. And then Kevin chimed in with his opinion. Oh, Kevin… Way to make me feel good about myself.

This is a very important strip. This is actually the very first Creator Confidential strip I ever wrote. I wrote it AT SPX 2009, in a fit of emo frustration. It was in the writing of this I ended up deciding to go through the entire first year.

At the end of SPX 2009, I felt so sad and emo over not making too many sales that I decided the only way I was going to keep my sanity in this business was to mock it mercilessly in comic form.

Hahaha… It’s funny ’cause it’s true. For the love of everything good and pure, some of us have vampire fetishes that WELL pre-date Princess Sparklepants. I’ve never actually beaten anyone who compares The Otherkind to Twilight. But the next time it happens… *shifty eyes* Hahaha… Had to mark this one with double warnings. I need… Continue reading 58.

I recently got to see some of Van Gogh’s work when I went to the Met in New York. I was moved to tears by it and there’s not a lot of artists I can say that about. I’m not NEARLY as naive as this strip suggests. In reality, my mother– while trying to make… Continue reading 59. Vincent

Yes, this is the worst curse I could wish upon someone. This is very much a pet peeve of mine. Not just ’cause I would like money, but just in terms of rationalization. Most stuff you get in dealer’s room can be bought elsewhere (often for CHEAPER), but fans are insistent about going into the… Continue reading 60. Dealing
