Never Let Them Know It’s Your First Time
Even if it’s literally your first time performing, you never tell your audience. It’s the same with the comic. I’ve been writing comics since I was about 14 years old, but you still don’t want to appear to be a novice. If you believe it, then everybody else will.

Everthing Will Look Better in Your Autobiography
That’s adapted from my literary hero Grant Morrison. I was a little nervous about doing the comic, and that’s one of the things Grant told me. If it’s a huge success or a huge failure, it’s so crazy that it’s still going to look good later on.

Aim For the Sun
Creatively, you have to try and destroy whatever you’re creating. That goes for making an album, the comic, anything. If something sounds ridiculous, then it’s probably a good idea.

Communication is Not the Same As Selling Out
Selling out is going against your beliefs to make something successful. Communication is the difference between a good artist and a bad artist. It’s like not understanding a piece of art: It’s not because you don’t get it; it’s because there’s nothing there.

If You Have Less Than Three Friends in High School, You’re in Good Shape
You never want to lose being an outsider. It keeps you honest. I was at an event recently and somebody actually thought I was a waiter. It was awesome.

So I finally got my RED vinyl copy of Bullets from the nice folks at Eyeball Records. I’ll start out by saying that it comes with a complimentary Eyeball Records sticker, which now adorns my bumper, as well as 2 promo flyers for The Bronze Episode (myspace.com/thebronzeepisode). Now that I know The Bronze Episode is putting out an album, I can FINALLY sleep at night!

  WAIT! There’s more! Right this way… →

He told MTV News he won’t – as had been rumored – be directing an adaptation of the comic book series, “The Umbrella Academy,” by My Chemical Romance frontman Gerard Way.

In the newest issue of ToyFare Magazine there is an interview with Gerard Way.  In it he talks about The Umbrella Academy, their new PVC figures from Dark Horse, and his time in the trenches in the toy industry.

Hopefully I will have a copy of this soon.  Check back for info on the interview or go pick up a copy and email me!
