When Cabanel finally graduated and returned to Paris as a professional painter, he had already received nearly *sixteen years* of focused, intense education on art and art alone.

I’d kill for that. Or, at least sacrifice a goat for it.

You can graduate from medical school and be operating on patients in less time than that artist studied how to paint that angel.

You read something which you thought only happened to you, and you discover that it happened 100 years ago to Dostoyevsky.

This is a very great liberation for the suffering, struggling person, who always thinks that he is alone.

This is why art is important.
Art would not be important if life were not important, and life is important.

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.

Suits think EVERYONE is a spark plug. They don’t have a clue why this guy they paid to draw Batman didn’t wake up one day and become Frank Miller. They can’t tell the difference between Frank Miller and another creator.

They think it’s luck. A trick.

There is craft and then there is creation.

And the suits don’t know what that is.

Suits, of course, love AI art.

Processed cheese pictures made up of the real pictures made by real human beings, easily replaced on the cheap.

Like spark plugs.

Today I learned, #Bangla #Robocop is a thing. And I know I’ll very much enjoy going down this rabbit hole.
