I agree with Josh, and for real — Art collectives or studios can be great for anyone but ESPECIALLY introverts (this is me also) who are on a team — the exchange of ideas and edits is much more rapid, fluid, and natural.
I wonder what an artist or comics-optimized Virtual Studio would look like? Someone should invent that. I keep waiting for skype to create a feature that enables live doodling chat, but maybe there are already better services out there that accomplish this for creatives.
Someone PLEASE get Andy a real microphone or have him record his part on his end… its crazy hard to hear him at times.
