Woke up to my little thread yesterday getting a lot more attention than I'm used to 😳

I have lot of thoughts about the topic still, but most can be summarized as "it's complicated" - I have been very fortunate to never have had a true "horror" project like so many others. Every person I've ever worked with has been kind and we got along well. I'm now more in the privileged position to turn down those low offers and horrible schedules -

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.
I love my job but I can't do this forever #ComicsBrokeMe 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.
