I was paid $25/pp for colors on an Eisner award winning series. I once colored a 200+pg gn in 2 months. It is on the NYT bestseller list. I had arm pain for months after. I do not get royalties for anything I've worked on.

There are many creators who do treat me well and I'm very grateful for them. I'm proud of my work. But when a major book publisher just this past year tried to offer me a coloring job at $28/per page, I know things are not going well in this industry.
I do not blame any of the editors I've worked with. They're all just as passionate about comics. They love comics, and I know (the ones I've worked with) do as much as they can with the power they have. They're also just as tired. This broken system goes higher than them.
Final thoughts (for now) is that despite all the pains, heartaches, and frustrations
I'm still sitting hear dreaming about the stories I want to draw someday. There is one I want to finish this summer. I don't want to quit. I love comics and all the people here. I want to stay
