Artistic success isn’t measured in money; it’s measured in eyeballs. As in, how many land on your artwork.<\/p>\n

Part of it’s luck, part is talent, and part is timing. Not just the timing of your output, but that of your birth, and the period in which you\u00a0exist. The quality of stimuli available during your receptive phase. For example, growing up reading comic books drawn by gifted inkers, like Jack Kirby and Neal Adams.<\/p>\n

Not only were these men brilliant, they were well-rounded in figure rendering, which showed in their art. A child could\u00a0access\u00a0these images easily, in the form of a ten-cent comic book, and get the itch to learn the trade. A form of absentee apprenticeship is forged. The love is passed on.<\/p>\n

We get guys like Jim Fitzpatrick.<\/p>\n

Until very recently, I assumed that the cover of Thin Lizzy’s\u00a0Jailbreak<\/em> was drawn by Jack Kirby or Neal Adams. I think I’ve even told people as much. I was 100% incorrect. It’s\u00a0Jim Fitzpatrick.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Thin Lizzy is an Irish rock band that crossed over to American success in the mid-1970s. Two of their most successful singles are on\u00a0Jailbreak<\/em>; the title cut, and “The Boys Are Back In Town”. File both under “hateproof”.<\/p>\n
