A Blast From The Past

I've been recently looking through my old library of  book that I had over the years. One book that I decide to look back to was "So, You Want to Be a Comic Book Artist?" 

I skimmed around and read most of the interviews from many great names including Bruce Timm, Kevin Eastman, Stephanie Gladden, Craig Tompson, among the many. I even decided to look up the young artists who where interviewed in the book! Two particular artists, Josh Covey and Becky Cloonan, have hit the dream and became pros! Some of them I've took the chance of sending them a message. I'm not much when it comes to actually going out and emailing people out of the blue, so it take a lot of admiration to get me to go out of my way to talk to strangers. 

I've been in a slump, taking a long while to do 3D work that's driving me insane, and I haven't been drawing as often as I wanted for this quarter of college, and it feels really good to just take a moment to go back and see your childhood heroes doing what they love best! Makes the struggles a little more bare able.
