Hod, Cement, and Edifaces
This is where the pencader dorms used to was.Everything's moving right along! Construction, Technology, Communication- Money, Hoes, and Clothes, all a critter knows! The first shipment of books is due any day now, and then begins the comic book review circus. The fucked up part is that I'm looking forward to the bad reviews more than the good ones! Positive feedback is of course appreciated, and wonderful, and everything, but! There's nothing like a bad review by some asshole to let you know what you're doing right. Just the other day I found a negative review of Fun Time #5
"Actually, most of the magazine’s artwork has this hippie psychedelic feel mixed with this futuristic street syntax. It was all too much to take in. It feels like this comic is stuck somewhere between too cultured and too raw. "
I can't help but read that w/ a certain satisfaction, like the dave chappelle line about how if you don't like chicken and watermelon there's something wrong with YOU, motherfucker!
Or my favorite criticism from when the delaware art society rejected my grant for Quantum Interoception Now "Never approaches the qualities of fiction found in even it's most experimental forms." I love that line! He also called my writing "sophmoric", where as Steven Grant called it "overly educated". Jessica Abel wrote me an e-mail about Suburban Legend Comics #1 advising me not to draw so many dots and patterns! I dunno, it's hard to take any of it seriously, the priority for me has always been the quality of the experience of the process. I like to enjoy what I do as I'm doing it, and I do! So what word can go against that?
