Another Reason Why I Love My Customers and Creative Independence!
COMICS BROKE ME… OUT OF POVERTY
I recently watched a YouTube video from a comic book-centered channel and the video focused on an article about aspiring comic creators and what you can expect to receive pay-wise should you try and enter the industry.
For artists, pay was broken down into groups:
low pay - $125-150/page (70-75% of artists)
mid pay - $200-400/page (20-25% of artists)
high pay - $500-800/page (2% of artists)
stratosphere - $1000/page and up (around 1%)
Based on the pay rates stated, my customers essentially put me in the “high” pay rate per page group. I’ve never worked for a corpo publisher and—all things considered—it would definitely be a step down to do so. I’d rather work for you!
By being independent, crowdfunding my comics and making comics specifically for—and with the permission of—my customers, I’ve been empowered to get page rates that only 2% of pros working for corporate publishers make. I am immensely grateful for the opportunity.
This is what the new era of democratized creativity and production has enabled; reduction of the power of the middleman(publishers) to decide who gets what. Now someone like me can have an idea, take it to you directly and you decide what level of interest you have in the project based on a variety of product tiers that I offer. It’s amazing!
To my awesome customers; THANK YOU! I work for you. I write/draw/publish the boobas you want to see!
