Do you want to live forever?
Pencils and paper come from the sky, from the gods of the sky. But Comics is your god, Comics and he lives in the earth. And in the darkness of chaos they fooled Comics, and they took from him the enigma of ink. Comics was angered and the Earth shook. Pencils and paper struck down these giants, and they threw their bodies into the waters. But in their rage, the gods forgot the secret of ink and...

On writing short stories, etc.
So on twitter @benrankel just asked me a question that I need a lot more than 180 characters to answer!
When writing a comic script for yourself do you follow a standard comic scripting format or do you have your own process?

FEARLESS MANTA: The music of Wolves →
Whoa! Great write-up on WOLVES over at Fearless Mantra! fearlessmanta:
These past couple of days, I’ve been musing over how I can keep returning to a track of music again and again, while it’s not the same for a book. At least, not with the frequency of a music track.

Self Publish or Perish →
Martyn Pedler over interviewed myself and Box Brown about self-publishing over at Bookslut the other day!

Article: THE RISE OF THE CREATOR on CBR →
Augie De Blieck Jr. wrote this amazing article on CBR’s Pipeline, and it’s basically funneling everything I’ve been thinking of the last year about comics, and my career! I love this article! I’m so sick of all the negativity about the comic industry lately, so it’s awesome to read something positive! Thanks Augie for psyching me up!!! :D
