Art comes from the soul. It needs to come out no matter what. I believe true artists don’t care how they are perceived. Don’t get me wrong, I’m sure they want to make money so they can concentrate on their art, but if no one saw it or read it they would still make it.... Continue Reading →
Comic Book Echo Chamber
I have a love for comic books. As a kid, they were my escape from the real world. The mixture of pictures and words carried me away on an adventure I could never have on my own. As I got older, I started to read books on top of the comics. Today I have a... Continue Reading →
