Public performance eats art.
True. 

Fame doesn’t rub off.
Also True.

Fame doesn’t always pay the bills.
Too True.

This industry doesn’t owe you a living, and it doesn’t pay you to dwell on the past.
Very True.

Most of the people in this industry are garage bands wondering why they’re not the Rolling Stones.
So Very Very True.

Don’t get into comics to get rich. Don’t get into comics for fame. Don’t get into comics for any reason except to make comics.

Fame and money are never a guarantee in the arts, no matter who you are or what you create.

Making your comic is about the truth of your love for the art.

Not about fame. Not about money.

If the audience comes, then yay.

If the audience doesn’t come, you made a comic.

And that’s the hard truth that makes you stronger.
