>Chaykin: "Artists in comics are emotionally deficient, incapable of expressing themselves except on the page and convinced that by being unprofessional and irresponsible they're pulling one over on "The Man" >"Stop being a fucking hobbyist. Your not drawing on your mothers table anymore. The minute you take a dollar from Marvel/DC your a fucking cog in the machine" youtu.be/8ANwI5KsMTc?t=3137
Starts 52:17 but the discussion is good all through the interview.
What are some stories about comic artists acting unprofessionally?
Fuck, that interview just reminded me I still haven't looked into Noel Sickles' work yet.
Bentley Morgan
Nice art, terrible stories.
Juan Ramirez
Chaykin never wrote a character who wasn't shallow and obnoxious.
Evan Sanders
Even if that is right, he still have reason for what he said.
Xavier Moore
Good thing I don't want to work for either marvel or dc.
Cameron Gutierrez
This is why Jim Shooter is so despised, because Shooter was always willing and able to crack the whip over at Marvel and the hippies and nerds couldn't handle it.
Mason Cruz
I feel like the dissolution of the bullpen was one of the biggest contributors. Now that everybody is freelancer and nobody has to punch the clock and look their boss in the face every day they exist in their own little bubble and think they're the star of the show. It used to be that only the very top talent could get away with bad behavior, for everybody else the EiC's office was just down the hall.
Andrew Moore
Every industry is run by cliques and nepotism, and that's always been the case with Comics. Only now they're being steered by the corporate overseers at WB and Disney, which dictates overall narratives and talking points. These aren't people making art, their taking their bullet points from market research, which at it's laziest can be a simple keyword analysis. Hence we have new characters called Safespace and Snowflake long after such terms have been relevant.
