Never would have left a single publisher if I'd gotten it. I've been with Image since 1996. That ought to tell you something. Fair play and fair pay.

You really got to love your work! I know a few Real Name comic artists ... and I know they really hunt down the paying gigs. For an artist who can stay working regularly, bully for them. For those who come up with creative side art jobs, so they stay doing artwork of some sort, they have my respect. Not an easy life by any means. Which is why I'm horrified when people are cavalier about paying artists. And when people are willing to do artwork for a special project (like the Unscrewed! Anthology, which we are FINALLY trying to pull together), I really, really appreciate it. Yeah… ouch. You really got to love your work!
