Got any questions for me?
How many artists have you lined up for your books so far? (Zing!)
None. Artists are fickle creatures like deer and are easily frightened. You have to approach them cautiously and earn their trust. It’s fucking annoying because all I want is people to draw a single zombie picture and I can’t get anyone to do it. You say you’re an artist and you like zombies? Then draw me a fucking zombie. I know, as an artist/writer/musician that it’s tough to get people to recognize your talent and the time and effort that it takes to create something. But, seriously, I’m just asking for one fucking drawing and I’ll compensate them to boot. It shouldn’t be this difficult.
Thanks for doing this!
