Inspired Ink #45 - Starside Comic - Creative Growing Pains & The Value of Collaboration

Welcome back to Inspired Ink! We have Dylan and Lane from the book Starside! We talk about their approach to cons that aren’t focused on cons & why they love cons like IC3, what it’s like to go through creative growing pains, and the importance of caring for your supporting audience. All this and SO much more on today’s inspired Ink!
