Le Bebe – Pg. 3
Ok so let me tell you something badass.
FIRST – I HAVE ONE PERSON WHO’S DOTWICH HORROR WASN’T MAILED TO THEM – PLEASE EMAIL ME IF YOU HAVEN’T GOTTEN IT
Ok – now something badass…
The other night I was working on the previous page and this page. I had this moment of startling clarity. This moment where I looked at the body of work that I had completed, both those two pages and the last year or so of IHL/U and I felt this overwhelming feeling. This love of art and my work had washed over me. It was beautiful and cathartic and fantastic. I felt like an artist. It was phenomenal. Trust me, I know what I am, and I know what I do – and I’ve taken enough ‘he’s the dot guy’ jokes to the face to know that my work is different than your standard pencil and ink guy… but for this one shining moment I felt that I had been doing something that will stand the test of time and beauteous. There was no ego. Just ‘I am an artist’.
It was fantastic – and for I really feel that I’m putting out some of the best work of my “career” (he laughs, given careers usually pay you) – Thanks for being here with me and I hope you keep enjoying my evolution as ‘Dot guy’ to ‘Dot guy with backgrounds’.
XOXO

It sounds like you know this but i just wanna make sure someone says it too. Different doesn’t mean less and what you’ve been creating here is art and story and laughter and memories. You should be extremely proud of yourself.
Seems like the careers worth having don’t pay worth having them. Keep being an artist- and good for you for doing so.
