Wow! I just read up on the second story about the artist on his YouTube channel. Jeez, that’s just crazy. I believe that constructive criticism is important, helping a fellow artist improve their skills, yes complimenting them on their work (strengths) helps. All of it. Why kick someone down just because their work isn’t as good as yours? That’s being a jerk, and no different from a schoolyard bully. I get likes from all kinds of artists on Instagram and some are waaaay better than me, while others are definitely younger and just starting out. I leave them comments thanking them for the likes and complimenting them on their work. Doesn’t take much. To some it means the world.

As for the big mouse, I refer to it as the big rat bastard. There’s a drawing online that’s either R. Crumb, or a similar style that perfectly illustrates what that company has become. Not gonna lie, I love Marvel, and some of what the mouse has done with the properties they have bought. It’s a love hate thing I have with them.
