Re: Fall 2021 Art Goals
Sep. 12th, 2021 08:10 amI submitted one of the comics I had due on September 15 early. I put a lot of love and care into this piece because it was solicited directly by the zine editor. I had contributed a comic to an earlier issue, and he wanted me to do the same sort of work for a forthcoming issue. He needed a quick turnaround of about a week, but I agreed to take on the project. It was tough, but I did my best and was proud of the result.
So, a few hours after I sent him my submission, he responded to say that he doesn't need my comic (that I created on spec totally for free!) because he found someone else. What the fuck dude? This is just a photocopied zine made by some random guy whose Etsy store has less than twenty sales, but still. That hurt my feelings.

In any case, I think I'm going to sit on the third piece I planned to submit on September 15. There's a small chance that this illustration might be rejected, and it's not worth the trouble to finish it by the deadline. Instead of worrying about other people, I think I might chill out and create for myself for a bit.
