"The points below are what I’ve learned doing indie comics as a career. There's always room for art for art's sake, for hobbyism, but these are the lessons I’ve learned for those who want to escape that prevailing mood."John Allison: "A scene that celebrates itself has nothing to celebrate".
Three points that I want to highlight:
4. Forget what you learned at art school and read some business books
5. Making money from art is not vulgar
10. Being ambitious doesn't equate to being unpleasant
