Diary of a Struggling Comics Artist | The Art of Skinner

Are you familiar with the Art of Skinner? He describes his work as "Psychadelic fantasy demon art, graphic art, like Dungeons and Dragons f&%$#in' on PCP, or something, I don't really know." On December 1, 2023, Chris Wisnia has a delightful Zoom chat with his best friend, Skinner, about the worth of artists, the artist community and supporting each other, how Skinner jumped into making art, "diversifying the hustle," and more.

The fact comic companies are not hiring merit based talent and producing sub par stories ignoring canon has driven fans away. The fans simply walk away. The big two do not make a lot of money and pass on that lack of revenue on to the creators( who again in the large part suck) and add on cost of the books to what readers remain. You must hire excellent people who make real non political comics of all genres and dump the terrible distribution system for comic books to have a chance of recovering. The only great stuff now is creator owned. It’s the only stuff I buy has it’s still challenging and made without agenda other than entertaining its audience.
