I've been working on some page-inking the last little while. I'm listening to Bruce Mau being interviewed by Shelagh Rogers on Sounds Like Canada right now. Mau is arguing that cynicism is a luxury that he cannot afford personally as a designer, and also, that as a society, we cannot afford it either. He's following up here on themes he's established in an article for The Walrus that was published within the last month.

I am inclined to believe him, and that puts me in a bit of a bind as someone who's trying to make a full-time living in the Cultural Industries. Or so it appears at the moment.

In a sense, in my work at the moment, I'm playing off of some of these pro-cynicism vibes. But, by choosing to draw comics for even a part of my living, I've committed myself to the optimistic side of the fence.

Am I wrong? And if so, in what sense?
