Spite is an incredible force If this industry doesn’t manage to appreciate their graphic novel illustrators as equal storytellers than my solution will be to just do it all alone I’ll write my own stories, in a language that isn’t even my second language I will Sorry to all great authors out there

Thats my plan fr 😭

It’s super scary to do things on your own, but i believe in you 🫂

sometimes it's only best to make something all yourself.

I've been thinking so much about it. I have a bunch of ideas that would only work as a webcomic or graphic novel, but I have the drawing skills of a 3 yo, so I don't even bother writing them. Illustrators are essential to this industry. Keep going!!

yeah I think we've all noticed spite is an incredible force (<-- joined here out of spite)

Agreed 100%. Spite is a powerful weapon.

Hey man, gotta do what you gotta do to build your own happiness in a toxic industry.

Op, you just talk about my own plan. Spite is indeed a powerful force. Because I wanna tell my story and I WILL tell my story. In my second language, but will regardless!

That's what the Sejics are doing, and they're doing it well. @stjepansejic.bsky.social@lindasejic.bsky.social

Yeah I feel like that’s the proper stance to take with this stuff, because the way some writers will talk about it being their book without saying it belongs to the artist too is just… beyond aggravating.
