Colleen Doran video for the Copyright Alliance
on August 27th, 2010The website, it is here.

Thanks Patrick Ross and Copyright Alliance. Check out their page for more interviews with more artists from across the nation.
And one more: FELONY COPYRIGHT VIOLATION. Older article by moi about piracy, and the difficulty making a living in the age of creators-have-no-rights.
Intellectual property rights aren’t just about money. They are about integrity, creative control, the guard against having your work misused and misrepresented. I’m not happy seeing my work and the work of other creators going to support companies which do business with extremely exploitative pornographers. Thanks to some pirate websites, I don’t have a choice in the matter.
“Farminess”! Hee.
Great video, Colleen. And I’d really love to be present if you ever had to “smack someone silly.” Yes, it is work!
What a CHARMING EXPRESSION I’ve got in that still! BWAHAHAHA!
re the opening: I was responding to a question about why assembly line comics don’t interest me as much as comics created by auteur creators.
Herculean effort to edit down my yakking to fit in this short space. Kudos to Mr. Ross.
You are so fired up. I love your, “take no BS” attitude.
Your passion as a creator is unparalleled, you are my hero!
Aw shucks.
I must say, it takes nerves of steel to agree to be interviewed for these Youtube things. The freeze frame will always spot you at your worst, LOL!
An earlier freeze frame made me look like I was picking my nose. I should have screen shotted it. It was hilarious! Would have made a truly classic desktop theme.
I’ve got to stop scratching my shnozz on camera.
Colleen, as I mentioned on my blog post, you were a hoot. It was so great that you allowed my daughter and me to drop by your “farminess.” You’re a great sport, and a big hit based on your YouTube hits!
I would fight for the right to wear flannel PJs at work!
This is a very good and informative video. People who don’t physically create – whether painting, drawing, writing, ceramics, whatever – don’t understand that it can be just as physically taxing as carrying a hod with the additional stress that artists tend to have a big emotional investment in what they are doing.
Grand stuff!
Interesting video, I enjoyed it a lot.
And I loved the part about farm work versus artwork. Having not actually done any field work myself, its harder for me to argue, but now I have somewhere to point anyone who thinks like that. Huzzah!
Again, very interesting. Though its weird actually hearing you; accents don’t transfer over text, and for some reason yours took me by surprise. XD
I’ve met you twice over the years, and never noticed the strong twang in your accident.
Man, this is gonna be weird.
(Then again, I have a combination Jersey/surfer dude accent these days, so who am I?)
Well, I’ve explained numerous times that in my school system, a southern accent was considered a liability. I also had a speech impediment and had speech therapy.
Cary Grant had a strong English regional accent as well. You never hear it in his movies.
Some of us turn it on and off like a switch.
