700 Rejections

Todd McFarlane received 700 rejections before he hit it big. Marvel said that he would never work for them. Others said that he could never be a comic book artist because he wasn't good enough.

700 times he heard this.

Don't know who Todd McFarlane is?

Just one of the most influential and wealthiest comic book artists of the modern age.

His comic Spawn ushered in a new era of comics. I should know. I waited in line for nearly 4 hours at the Philadelphia Comic Con when Spawn first hit. McFarlane also led the surge in comic book toys aimed at adults and made millions on his toys, movies, cartoons, and all those spinoff collectibles.

Moral of the story.

Don't give up.

And even people in the industry can be wrong.

700 times or so
