All I know is I hate my job and I got nothing to lose by trying something new.

Indeed.

There's a reason for the expression, "Don't quit your day job".

If you have the talent and ability go for it. Let's see what you got.

Have you ever attempted cartooning in general?

I'm one of those people who thinks he's got talent because people have told me my amateurish art is pretty good. Why not improve?

There's always room for improvement. Like to see what you can do.

Does it necessarily matter? Guys like Jeffrey Brown are in the industry and they make good off their commissioned work. My perspectives are bad though. I'd also say guys like Seth, Chester Brown, Art Spiegel do not put a crapload into their art. Is there any way to just say it's good just the way it is and fool people?

Sure it matters. These guys you mentioned have been established and paid their dues. It doesn't happen overnight. There's a certain charm to these guys work that people like--if you got that going for you then maybe you got something--but don't expect to fool people. That's too much work unto itself. Either you got it or you don't.

Isn't it all about confidence really? Art is subjective. How can you define talent? Did those guys get where they are by shining a lot of butts or by sleeping with the bosses daughter? What do you mean by paid their dues?

Putting time into it. This isn't a casting couch--you don't get off that easy. No pun intended.

I work as a data entry type dude at a staffing agency. Most of the time I see no one for hours and have work that can be done in 30 mins. The guy who hired me asked me, "Are you sure you want to work a boring job like this?" three--yes, three times. I'm on the internet for over 8 hours a day cuz there's virtually no work to do. Frank, I have time to put time into learning how to draw. Trust me. I just need to know what else goes into getting picked up. Any suggestions?
