Tyler shared a lot of helpful ideas and refocused my thinking about comix — making it conscious, versus “Just plough through, get it done, meet the deadline”.
And the experience of being around other creative people, plus the joy of seeing all that original, physical artwork in real space, was a great reminder to get my head and self out of the computer. Being on the computer, ingesting news, ideas, and content, doing endless problem-solving (because computers are still so damned janky) is so easy and compelling, but so, so little that matters ever gets done there.
