>>79064996> Are comics how you make a living? If yes, how difficult or easy has it been to get to that point where your work is your main source of income?Yeah, comics and illustration side jobs keep my lights on. It was definitely pretty dire starting out, like I imagine it is for most artists. There was a while where my wife and I had a tiny apartment with only a jury rigged coffee machine and an air mattress patched up with duct tape and chewing gum, but that's as bad as it ever got. My parents have always been very supportive, and socked away some money if I ever went to college, but once they realized that was never going to happen, they helped set me up when I moved out to Vancouver. I doubt I would've lasted long in comics if it wasn't for that, so I'm very lucky. I'm in a good place now, though. I can pick and choose the projects I want to work on, which is the ideal situation.
