lol!

i don't think that this thread is really a good representation of the Bendis board.

hope you don't get that impression.
and yeah, the kid needs some positive feedback to keep him going through the negative feedback.

big him up is what i say.


welcome to the board by the way, i've been on it since a little after Bendis started his Daredevil run and have been loving it.



God bless,

[quote="michael_gosselin"]hey i just joined the bendis forum because i saw it on the daredevil ite. so i go in, and the first page i read is this kid getting dissed by like 30 people (pretty funny to read). so i go to his site, and it's a crappy rip off of like everything, but then i thought: this kid's like 13 or something. hes probably better at drawing than we were at 13. I can remember copying all sorts of Marvel/DC crap. so like cut im some slack, because he isnt THAT bad.


AH HA!

I'm on to you!

This is just Phoque with a new identity trying to cuddle back up to us!

Seriously though, he asked for help then he viciously attacked the guy who jokingly told him to 'toss the salad'

One it was a joke, two we don't attack anybody seriously around here. We just fuck with em. Either they can handle it for the ribbing it is, or they get upset cause they don't realize that we're joking.

Or are we.

You can't break into the industry. Between Bendis and Austen, there are no books left Wink

Live fast, die young.

BTW- I've gotta say that phoque u2 azz has contributed, unintentionally to one of the funniest threads I've ever read. This poor young High school kid coming into a room and trying to insult people who have had years of fine-tuning their ability to be incredible dicks is heartbreaking, hilarious, and nothing short of amazing.

Which converts to less than a week on the Bendis board.

how the fuck did i miss this thread?!
this is seriously classic.
'go buy How To Draw The Marvel Way'
whew.

i've found that the best way to break into the biz is to rent out homeless people.

no no, wait, hear me out. im serious. ennis got the preacher gig this way.

find a bum, any bum will do, and buy an hour of his time with some booze, or some stale bread. eggs maybe? bring him up to the marvel offices, and turn him loose. you're in. editors fucking LOVE beating the shit out of hobos. its like moths to a flame. seriously. Q keeps his in the closet, and whenever he can't...well you know, perform, he calls Higgans out for a good old fashion throw down.

This is to Phoque:

There seems to be a little misunderstanding here. It's no big deal and not worth getting upset over. I don't think anyone here hates you (though I'm sure that some people were rubbed the wrong way by your use of the word "faggot").

This board is generally a humorous board where many of the posters like to joke with one another and friendly poke fun at what people say. The poster that mentioned the salad was not in any way poking fun at you, but trying to make a joke about getting work in this business.

And when I said "Just do Joe Quesada" that is not directed at you, but is a refference to an ongoing joke on this board where someone else had poked fun of something that I said on the Daredevil DVD. On the DVD I say that Brian Bendis told me to Just do Joe Quesada's art style for a sequence in the DD Wake Up story we did. Brian told me to "Just do Joe Quesada", meaning to draw in his style and niether of us saw the other connotation of the phrase or thought it was funny. But then someone on this board started posting that quote to show that they thought it was funny out of context.
So that was a sort of running joke I have seen on this board for a bit and I did not take it as a personal insult. Just people mentioning humor where they see it.

When you may have thought the early responses to your posts were meant to insult you (even though they were not an attack on you), and you used the word "faggots" and said that funny line about Will and Grace, some posters tried to show that there was just a misunderstanding, but others were annoyed by your attack (which explains the other posts).

So I hope you can see that for what it is and not worry about it. If you read threads on the rest of this board, I think you may start to get a sense of the general tone of humor and sociability on this board.


As for breaking into the biz, the secret is to just continue to work and work and develope your own particular look and approach to your work. After years of developing it and drawing hundreds of pages of storytelling, or when you are confident that you have found your own direction, either make your own book and show it to creator-owned publishers, or show your work to the mainstream publishers if you want to work for them. I'm told that going to conventions and showing your work in person is helpful. At conventions there are many professional artists and editors who can give you thier opinions and insights. As well as many non-professional artsist looking for work that you can talk to and learn from. It is a very fertile place for learning about the nature of the business and diversity in approach to comicbook art.

I'm glad you are interested in comics and interested in developing your own work. If you are ever at a convention or a signing that I am at, please introduce yourself and I will be happy to talk you you about it in more detail.

I don't know if my opinion on breaking into the biz matters to you (as I've seen you insutling me and my work on another thread on this board. Perhaps that is because you really don't like my work, or perhaps it is because of the misunderstanding here.). Either way, I wish you the best in your artistic endeavers. And I will be happy to discuss it with you, or answer any of your questions should we ever meet at a signing or convention.

My kindest and warmest regards to you.

David Mack

mack, you wet blanket Razz

Now we'll all feel bad for picking on the kid since you went and explained us to him.

It was nice that you tried to give him pointers, but he'll never be able to break into the biz for one small reason.

He's from Canada.
