1. Who are you?
My name is Zsolt Fazekas, I’m living in Hungary, a little country in Europe. I'm mainly a comics and novel writer who tries to break into the industry.

2. Why don’t you do this in Hungary?
Well that's an easy one. Because there is no chance for that here. In Hungary you need good friends in the right places or money to publish your stuff. I don’t have either of them.
Comics is really a trap here. There’s only a few people who can live by doing it and they are all artists. If you can get one of your works published, that’s probably all the success you can get. After that there’s nothing, and probably it will cost you more than you can get, and you will need another job.
But the comics and novels have the same problems here: No one gives a shit. Most of the publishers are publishing known books from abroad, or books of people who are already well-known. Little publishers - those I know about - ask for money to publish our stuff and believe me, you don't even get back half of it.
Don't get me wrong, this doesn’t mean that I’m not trying, but even if I succeed, I can't do anything after that. This is why I try American publishers. If you succeed there, you instantly succeed here, too. Sadly (and ironically) this way is the easy way.
3. What's going to be on this blog?
Well... everything. Seriously. You are going to see my comics, mostly those that can't be submitted. There will be news about my submissions even if they failed. Concept arts from my upcomings projects. So almost everything what I’ve have done or am doing right now.
Ps:
Forgive me for my English. I try my best, but sometimes I will screw up some things. Sorry.
