Scott Kurtz: Improving my Writing

My resolution for the new year is to improve my writing in 2011 as much as I improved my art in 2010. Which is to say that i’m very happy with the levels to which I pushed myself creatively last year when it came to the visual style of PvP. And I want to push myself as hard this year in regards to my writing.

I’ve been unsatisfied with the way I write PvP. I think a part of that is because as artists we try to always keep a nice level of dissatisfaction with our work, just to prevent ourselves from becoming stale. But beyond that, I’ve had a growing sense of dread that PvP is starting to get left behind a bit. I’m seeing a lot of new talent come into the comics scene who are just blowing me away with the way their comedy is constructed and delivered.
