NICE INTERVIEW BOBBY!

SORRY LONG POST

I SEE IT WAS BEFORE SCHOOLISM.COM :)

IT WAS LIKE READING A TRANSCRIPT OF ONE OF YOUR VIDS

btw do people even read posts?

it as if they just look at the art and leave props, me i read them everytime

actually i might do that too when i don't have anything constructive to say, it will be:

i came, i saw, i post :)

or NICE! :)

or something equally lame


sorry, its just something i notice

it bugs me

I WANT THEM TO CARE!!

like this:

OVERLY HONEST OPINION TIME:

IMHO-

"If you’re so detached that you can give up your work without feeling anything, then I think that shows your learning potential has about peaked."

SOME JUST DON'T CARE, THEIR SATISFIED BY JUST GETTING BY

ITS LIKE A SLOW MOVER WHO DOESN'T GO AS FAST AS THE OTHERS JUST SO THEY CAN GET PAID EQUAL TO THE FASTER, MORE DESERVING WORKERS

THEY MAINTAIN ENOUGH SO THAT THEIR BOSS WON'T FIRE THEM

I THINK THIS IS HAPPENING MORE OFTEN MAINLY TO DO WITH THE WORK FOR HIRES / THE MAINTAINERS / THE 1 STYLE FOR WORK-OTHER STYLES FOR HOME / PAYIN' THE BILLS ONLY TYPE

OR LIKE I SAID ON ALBERTO RUIZ'S BLOG:


"ARE YOU A TRUE ARTIST OR A PRODUCT PUSHER?"


THEY SAY "WELL, ITS JUST A JOB"

IMHO SPECIFICLY IN THE COMIC BOOK INDUSTRY ITS MORE THAN THAT, THERE IS ALSO THE CONNECTION WITH THE FANS, THE MAGIC, THE BONUS OF BEING KNOWN FOR ONES WORK NOT JUST IN AN IMAGINARY BULLPIN / CUBICLE / STUDIO ENVIROMENT

MOST OF THE VETERENS KNOW THIS AND SOME DON'T UNFORTUNATELY HAVE THAT TRUE APPRECIATION

SURE IT'S A JOB, BUT IT'S A JOB WHERE THE CUSTOMER KNOWS WHO YOU ARE

I REPEAT: KNOWS - WHO - YOU - ARE

JUST SAYING THAT YOU APPRECIATE THE FANS CAN BE ENOUGH

THAT IN TURN HELPS YOU PAY THE BILLS

BUT IT HAS TO BE TRUELY SINCERE

but i can be wrong :)
