BRANDON GRAHAM

'There is no way that writers can be tamed and rendered civilized or even cured. The only solution known to science is to provide the patient with an isolation room, where he can endure the acute stages in private and where food can be poked in to him with a stick.'

'The most important lesson in the writing trade is that any manuscript is improved if you cut away the fat.'

'Heinlein's Rules for Writers

Rule One: You Must Write

Rule Two: Finish What Your Start

Rule Three: You Must Refrain From Rewriting, Except to Editorial Order

Rule Four: You Must Put Your Story On The Market

Rule Five: You Must Keep it On The Market Until It Has Sold.'

'Writing is not necessarily something to be ashamed of, but do it in private and wash your hands afterwards.'

I like Serpieri’s work a lot. He has an impressive way of drawing skin with crosshatching.  I suspect he has the same perception in the States that Manara gets, where he’s known for drawing just one type of pretty lady when he’s more than capable of drawing everything exceptionally well. 

Aside from Serpieri and Manara another Italian artist I should type about more is Vittorio Giardino

I like his Little Ego take on Little Nemo
