Got paid royalties that were owed to me (and the artist). No mention of it for years from the publisher until chased. Iโ€™m going to spend part of it to fund someoneโ€™s unpublished comic. No strings. Fuck exploitative publishing. Make art. Pay people. Watch this space.

Anyone who describes writing as "You get paid to write the stuff we want..." has not a clue what writing is about. I don't know how many times people need to hear it, that is simply not how art or creativity works.

Modern comics suffer from this too. Wish I saw colour and lighting designed more often for narrative & visual effect rather than trying to emulate reality. Every visual medium is absolutely littered with choices to be made. Emulating reality takes a vast swathe of them away.

I think the worst trend in modern movies is this obsession with naturalistic lighting. Lighting is like sound design, itโ€™s not meant to be realistic.

People are debating Rorschach again-- and my only thought is that the fact that a character named Rorschach is now the litmus test for readers grappling with heroism/humanism is such a badass writing move. Intentional or not-- doubt it will ever be topped.

Welcome to the belief caused by the age of the eternal performer. Everything creative has to be targeted for consumption, otherwise starvation! For ages, art has been motivated by the artistโ€™s interests and found commercial success because it is interesting. That hasnโ€™t changed.
