Seems Brad Guigar (http://www.evil-comic.com/) has been enjoying the little fun I've been having with his Earth-2 counterpart, "Randy Lugar". I have to say, it was HUGE relief when I sent Brad the first strip and asked if he had any problems with it. Because if he did, I didn't know WHAT I was going to do with the next series of strips that either featured or mentioned "Randy Lugar"... Brad, I'm glad you got a kick out of them. I'll have the originals printed for you at Baltimore. :-) -Chris Well, would ya look at that?

It's all gatta be in the attitude of the would be critique-ee (sp?) , and a few people that don't really get what a critique is really have ruined it for the majority that understand a critique really is about tearing your stuff up so you can walk away knowing how to improve your work in the long run, THEN going on about what you're doing well. I really think it's a valuable "next generation" responsibility almost for established artists to help out. Some of my most valuable and useful things I've learned have been from the most constructive/deep/tough critiques by professionals. It's made me a much better artists from it and I can't thank some of the people that have been clearly honest with me. I think the worst thing someone can do is try to placate or just give positives to critiques to make people feel better about their artwork. I've learned wonderful amazing lessons that have literally helped me do so much better in artwork and busness because people were honest with me. Well there is one thing worse, being a professional that thinks it's not worth your time or think it's not your responsibility. I agree with the whole con critique thing.
