Art & Story 96 - The Big Money

[link]

It’s all about the bills this week as we answer a question from Stef of Sarah Zero–namely, how do we make money doing what we’re doing? And what does all this nerding out over comics process junk have to do with making the monies?

It may surprise none of you to hear that we believe that delving deeply into the process of comics making figures in largely to making a living as a cartoonist. We break down our strategies for survival into the following categories and sub-categories, explaining at every point how our love of comics has made us more marketable to clients

EYE OF THE GODS - The story of a man who's life spirals out of control when he is cursed with the ability of remote viewing.

It's ENEMY OF THE STATE meets DEAD ZONE



Sean Black, an artist, has a surgery to clone his eyeballs and replace the his existing eyes with the clones, restoring his failing vision. After the operation, he has a "dream" about a murder, only to discover that it really happened…

…But the death isn't being reported as a murder. When his curiosity gets the best of him, it sets off a chain of events that unravel his life.

To be an artist is to careen wildly between hedonism and self-flagellation
I just got ICONIC in the mail yesterday - it's a pretty decent book - and remind me that I owe you for your book before the next Koffee and Komics. I can either give you cash or just buy you a good dinner that night - I remember thinking for a coffee shop they had great food :-).
And far be it from me to turn down a good meal!

Yeah, I got my copy of ICONIC this weekend too… The whole thing came out better than I expected. Ah… the magic of print.
