I know that it can be really hard to break into an artistic field, so I wish you luck! I'm glad you enjoy the strip and I look forwad to hearing from you again.

I been looking for another comic to enjoy wile I'm at work and this totally fits the bill! I am another artist trying to break into my field of study and know that through all the effort and work I put in every day on every hour will some day pay off but only as much as I let it pay off. I remember my teacher always telling me at college that we are worth something and giving my work away for free de-faces every other artist out there and its up to me to hold my standers up for them as well as my self. I love 3d work and I love to draw and that means I have to keep those skills in check 24 / 7 and not let ppl undercut me for those skills. So yeah I totally agree with what Rob is saying here and hope you keep the comic up I am putting it up as one of the regulars I check every week :) I totaly agree with you Rob and am vary happy with the art style as well as humor that I see!

All creatives types I know (me included) consistently undervalue their work. That goes for writers, song writers, musicians and graphic designer as well as artists. Not only do we often spout he "doin' what we love line" but there seems to an unspoken feeling of "why do I have the right to charge this much for my work"? I think when you are able to be creative you lose sight of the fact that not everyone can do what you do. So yeah...what Rob said. Be worth more. I’m a little late getting to this one, but… hell yes.
