Greg Ketter, founder/owner of DreamHaven Books & Comics, Winner of the Will Eisner Spirit of Retail Award, 1999.
As Greg has said here, the store's site has crashed from the traffic/flood of orders. But a GofundMe is still live to help with the store's renovation.

IN YOUR SKIN is a body horror comic based in Bollywood, emerging from my love-hate relationship with Hindi movies. This is a story I’ve wanted to tell for ages, and I’m excited to do it with an artist whose work I’ve admired for a very long time.

"style" and "quality" of your art ultimately doesn't matter. What you're building is a vocabulary of communication via your art. If you tell the reader the blob you've drawn is a horse, it's a horse.
There is an over emphasis on realism in comics atm. Strive or self-authenticity over correctness.

I know I don't shut up about this but, fellow Irish people, if you see a racist sticker when you're out and about, then tear it off.
It takes ten seconds.
Even if you only manage to tear away a part of it, it shows that your neighborhood doesn't stand with the small, hateful people that put them up
