“I have one big idea and limited savings. Play it safe or bet on it?”
Safe is a word people use when they have stopped drawing. But listen, the idea is worthless until you have suffered over it. Does it come from your own memory, your own grief? Then you have no choice, you must make it. Do the work by hand, frame by frame, and let the money be small.
It usually is.
