Well, let me tell ya, somethin’s been stirrin’ in the comic art world. Folks been whisperin’ ’bout somethin’ called Cadence Comic Art. Now, I ain’t no fancy city slicker, but even I can tell when there’s a ruckus.
Seems like this Cadence place, they used to be a big deal. Big shots, y’know? They were sellin’ all sorts of comic book art. Pictures, the kinda stuff you see in them funny books my grandkids read. They were even helpin’ the artists, the folks who draw them pictures, get jobs and make some money.
- They were sellin’ original artwork, like the real deal, not just copies.
- They were makin’ deals for the artists, helpin’ them get paid.
- They were even handlin’ commissions, so folks could get special pictures made just for them.
Sounds pretty good, right? Well, hold your horses, ’cause things ain’t always what they seem. Lately, it’s been like a hen house when the fox gets in. All the artists, they’re flyin’ the coop! Lots and lots of ’em, all leavin’ Cadence Comic Art at once. Nobody’s really sayin’ why, not out loud anyways, but you can bet your bottom dollar somethin’ ain’t right.
I heard tell some fella, Andrew somethin’-or-other, he used to work for Cadence. He was helpin’ the artists get their art back, which is a good thing, I reckon. But it makes you wonder, why do they need to get their art back? What happened?
This Cadence place, they used to have all the fancy-pants artists workin’ for ’em. Big names, the kind you see at them comic book shows. But now? Poof! Gone like a fart in the wind. It’s all over the news, well, the comic book news anyway. Everywhere you look, it’s Cadence this, Cadence that, artists leavin’. It’s a real mess, I tell ya.
Some folks are sayin’ there’s “unrest.” Sounds like a tummy ache to me, but I guess it means somethin’ bigger in the art world. Maybe the artists weren’t gettin’ paid right, or maybe Cadence was treatin’ ’em bad. Who knows? But it ain’t good, that’s for sure.
Now, I don’t know much ’bout drawin’ comics. I can barely draw a stick figure without it lookin’ like a crooked fence post. But I do know a thing or two about workin’ hard and gettin’ treated fair. And it sounds like these artists weren’t gettin’ the fair shake they deserved. Comic art news is buzzin’ with it.
This Cadence place used to have a whole bunch of artists workin’ for ’em. They called ’em “reps” or somethin’. These reps would help the artists with all sorts of things, from showin’ off their work to gettin’ paid. And it seems like Cadence used to have some of the best artists in the business. But now, who knows? They might not have anyone left at this rate.
It takes a lot to be a comic book artist, you know. You gotta be good at drawin’, real good. You gotta be able to tell a story with pictures, which ain’t easy, let me tell ya. And you gotta be creative, gotta come up with new ideas all the time. It’s hard work, and these artists, they deserve to be treated right. They put their heart and soul into their work, and they shouldn’t have to put up with no shenanigans.
So, what’s the future for Cadence Comic Art? Well, I ain’t got a crystal ball, but it don’t look too good. With all these artists leavin’, it’s gonna be hard for them to stay in business. Maybe they can fix things, maybe they can’t. But one thing’s for sure, the comic art world is watchin’. And they ain’t gonna forget this anytime soon. This whole Cadence comic art situation is a real humdinger, and it’s got everyone talkin’. So, keep your ears open and your eyes peeled, ’cause there’s bound to be more news to come.
Comic artists leaving in droves ain’t somethin’ you see every day. And when it happens to a big outfit like Cadence, well, that’s big news. Makes you wonder what’s really goin’ on behind closed doors, don’t it?
