"someone left a cake out in the rain"

I ride my bike to work, don't eat meat, work on art all the time and listen to prog records by myself in my 1 bedroom apartment. I try to classify my lifestyle as "minimal" in my mind but I take really long showers so I don't know.

My perspective is that I no longer have to write dissertations. (that's pretty minimal, right?)

i'm assuming all these comic questions are from the same person.

i can't tell you what panels to use. i don't know anything about your comic, nor do i want to influence your decisions any more than i already have.

you need to stop worrying about minutia and just start drawing. draw some horrible comics. don't be afraid to mess up and create something that doesn't work. you can always redraw. you can't truly learn how to draw comics by reading books or asking questions, you can only really understand it by doing it and learning as you make mistakes. you need to learn by drawing your comics.

so come on, get out there and start creating.

First off, while you're in school, build a sizable portfolio that shows an ability to tackle figure drawing, perspective, still life, and color theory. If your school doesn't have a good art program, take some classes after school that can help you build a decent portfolio.

From what I've learned, a lot of college art stars were already good when they came to college. College gives you the resources and networks to refine your abilities. Hopefully it also exposes you to teachers who can broaden your perspective and objectives. So what I'm saying is, draw like a motherfucker while you're in highschool. Push yourself to get better, and build on your fundamentals. Draw your hands all day. Study human movement.

Don't be distracted by the surface/style aspect of figurative drawing. What I mean is... anyone can copy Sailor Moon style faces. But not everyone understands how Sailor Moon's skeleton works.

Apply to art colleges in America with a good animation program. I can suggest CalArts, SVA, and RISD off the top of my head. Get good grades in highschool, because this will help you with scholarships. It also helps round you out as an artist. Real artists are informed by history, literature, science, math, and the outer limits of belief. This is essential to building a distinct artist identity. As much as you can, build your powers in all areas. All these things can be equated to leveling up in a video game. That's basically how I see my life. Good luck man. Don't forget to hang out with girls.

I'm gonna snap your neck and drink your spinal fluid

Yeah Steve Wolfhard of "Cat Rackham" fame is now full time boarding with Tom Herpich. He was doing revisions remotely from Canada, but he's making the move to LA. His stuff is so funny and beautiful. I'm really psyched he's on board.

lady.... lady shhh it's ok, it's gonna be okay. go out and have fun with your bad ass single self.

bowel.

zangief would deal out some serious zangrief.

Put it in the bank, then get back to work. Eventually I think it would be cool to set up some sort of arts endowment or trust to fund to support cool projects in the arts.

This is how I feel about the holidays.

Awesome. It almost has this Andrew W.K. look to it.

Say ... I don't think Hellen really asked this.

What are you trying to pull, formspring.
