I think this is the last of the Valkyries for a while, that I'm posting, anyway. I was most impressed that I can fake a horse as well as I did. The old school comic artists could pull practically anything out of their heads. This was due to the extremely poor page rate paid at the time. If you're making 5-10 dollars a page, you just don't have time to reference everything you're drawing. I recall an interview with the Kubert brothers in which they voice their exasperation at their father Joe being able to draw practically everything without reference, including a galloping horse running head on. Being underpaid has it's advantages!Sunday, May 9, 2010

I think this is the one and only instance. You know other than giving you another reason to quit.
ReplyDeleteNot true! Being underpaid is the best thing in the world for a person! Pulls a person up by their own bootstraps! Can't afford insurance? Get a 5th job! Wanna be rich? Be a CEO or inherit it like the rest of us!
