"Why don't you draw for the mainstream?"
I went to the comic book store today and opened up Previews to see what is new in the comic book world and ran across a book that I was supposed to illustrate. It hit a sore spot with me. in order to keep my deadline, I illustrated the cover to the book while my wife and I was in the hospital after having our first child. When I saw someone else's art in Previews on the book (even though I was told that my art would not be used) it hit a nerve. Maybe it's because I just had a son and the need to further my career is more important than ever. Or maybe it's because I looked at my hands and saw wrinkles for the first time. Or maybe it is because I have been striving hard to do what I do only to be still looked over for jobs.
Either way, this answers the question that I got today about "Why I don't draw for the mainstream". It's not because I don't want to. It's just not happening.

You're going to have to keep it up, man. Keep making moves and you'll get to where you want to be. Sure, a newborn ups the stakes, but it should be added motivation to succeed. You'll do fine, as long as you don't quit.

Gratitude is the change given back from kindness. It's always best to have both.
Either stop doing what you are doing or keep on trucking along. I guess I'll keep on trucking along.
