myspace is starting to get on my nerves. people only ask to be your “friend” to promote themselves, but what really gets to me is when they leave either a half-a-screen ad for whatever it is they are trying to do, with no friendly comment along with it. you don’t have to love what i do, and i understand artists use it to promote themselves, but you can at least say hi or thanks or something. i find it rude and selfish and it pisses me off. it’s like you’re using my page as if it was an advertising space.

that’s something i notice all the time about people, in general, they just don’t respect each other… or their body or their environment. or even themselves. so i guess it’s not much of a surprise. that being said, i will keep the myspace for now, because there’s very little opportunity for promoting my comics for free. but i removed the comments section so even if people add comments no one will see them. heh heh.

my experience is that there’s a very narcissistic vibe on myspace, facebook seems to be more about sharing enthusiasm (and voyeurism). it’s just friendlier. but i’m not on there because i find it too time-consuming. i already spend enough time in front of the computer.

here’s a drawing that’s not by me. drawn & quaterly, a nice comics store and publisher in montreal has been using it to promote a holiday sale. it’s also been sitting on my desktop.
