The Birth of an Idea

Many people have called me a lot of things. I've been called 'smart, cute, charming, conceited, idiot, athletic, french (I'm not french btw)' but the one thing I have never been called was an artist. So when me and a bunch of my buddies were sitting around brainstorming ideas for the next big money making thing (they were artists by the way) and I made the bold statement "Hey, I can draw too and make us some money", they all laughed at me.

Now there are three things you should know about me.

1) I never back down from a challenge.
2) I go out of my way to prove people wrong.
3) I always win.

So after the my buddies burst out laughing at the bold statement that I could draw the next great idea, I set out to prove them wrong. I grabbed a piece of paper and lead pencil and began furiously doodling and out came this masterpiece.

That's right, bask in this amazing glory. Every single line and detail, created with precision and care. And I didn't even need to go to school to learn how to draw (I'm an engineer). I started off with the Ninja first as the main character and basis of the comic strip. Why a ninja you ask? Well he was the easiest thing to draw...I mean look at the Ninja. He was just a mask with dots for eyes. I thought drawing a Ninja outfit was too typical so instead I gave him a dress shirt and tie, and then history was born. The Corporate Ninja! I was so pleased with myself that I gave my buddies the finger and announced that 'This is the coolest s--t since vodka and red bull" and I continued my drawing fury. Everything was flowing so naturally as I churned out a Corporate Sasquatch, Corporate Zombie, and a Corporate Vampire. My Sistine Chapel was complete!

My buddies looked at it and laughed because their brains were the size of squirrel scrotums but I looked at it and saw a million bucks....and so did one individual named Tyrone McCarthy. Now Tyrone is one of the nicest individuals around (when he's not running around calling me a dick) and he believed in this concept from the beginning. He took Corporate Life and took it to the next level with his amazing vector art skills. I started putting some stories to these wonderful creations and Tyrone finished it off and Corporate Life, the Comic was born.

So to my buddies, (fantastic individuals and great artists in their own right), once again I was right and you were wrong. Who's my bitch?
