Hey indie comics folks. A friend just pointed out something to me that I think bears repeating. If you want to move on from mainstream comics like DC and Marvel, stop looking back at them. Stop giving them attention. Ignore them completely. They need you a lot more than you them.

improving. We've built up a strong rapport among the team and keep learning more and more to make our efforts faster and more efficient with each release. I've been supported by people here on twitter through commissions and supported many artists myself for great commissions...
and I am very hopeful for the future of storytelling. 5 years ago I pretty much stopped drawing altogether. My spark almost completely extinguished. But with the help and support of wonderful people like my team at @ScienceComics I've been drawing more than ever...
With more finished works each year. Last year I drew 1 comic cover. This year I've already finished one and have a second on the way right now, PLUS a whole comic drawn by me. Never stop fighting. Never give up hope. KEEP drawing and writing and making your dreams come true.
