Man Whore

Last night, through several events and conversations, I realized that I would now pretty much do anything for money. Comparing this attitude to when I was kicked into the real world right after college, it is somewhat an incredible shift. I think getting more involved in business has made that transition happen. My perceived scrupples on what I will and won’t do professionally, either regarding technology that I don’t specifically like or design work I don’t particularly care to do, have changed. Now, I’ll do the job anyway you like.

Just give me the money.

It makes me sad that I kind of feel like I lost my principles from bygone youth. However, I have to question if were they stupid principles from the start?

Again, we find ourselves on the same wave. It seems unrelenting compromise, and subsequent weakening of the work, is my day-to-day routine and that it has been for years. And I’m like, “WTF, why am I involved in this conspiracy of mediocrity?” For the money!

It would hurt more if I wasn’t doing comics on my own at night. I can live with myself doing it for the money in the day for the comics at night.
