Would You BET on Your Own Idea? | Investing in Your Vision ft. Kevin Davis

You have the idea. You believe in it. But at some point, every creator has to answer a much harder question: *How much are you willing to INVEST in your own vision?* This week on **Artist In Progress**, we're joined by **Kevin Davis of Kevisyde Global Entertainment**, creator of **SKINSHIFTER**, to talk about what it really takes to turn an idea into something REAL. We're talking comics, entrepreneurship, Kickstarter, building your own intellectual property, working with other creatives—and what it means to actually bet on yourself when nobody else is going to do it for you. Kevin is currently bringing *Skinshifter Chapter 1* to Kickstarter, a supernatural horror comic that opens the door to a much larger universe. 🚨 *CHECK OUT THE SKINSHIFTER KICKSTARTER:* https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/... We'll be talking about: 💰 What does it REALLY mean to invest in your own vision? 📚 Taking an idea from your head and turning it into an actual comic 🚀 Why Kevin chose Kickstarter for Skinshifter 👹 The story and world behind SKINSHIFTER 🎨 Finding and working with artists to bring your vision to life 💵 The financial realities of creating an independent comic 🎯 Knowing when an idea is worth investing in 😬 Taking risks when there's no guarantee they'll pay off 🌎 Building an IP instead of thinking about just one comic 🤝 Networking and building relationships in the indie-comic community 📈 Treating your creative work like a BUSINESS without losing the creativity 🔥 Learning from projects that don't go according to plan 🧠 The mindset required to keep building when progress is slow 🚫 Mistakes new comic creators make when trying to launch their first project ❤️ Why believing in your project isn't enough—you eventually have to ACT on it And we're asking Kevin one of the biggest questions creators eventually have to face: *When nobody else has invested in your vision yet…how do you decide whether YOU should?* Because **Artist In Progress is LIVE**, we want you involved in the conversation. Are you working on a comic? Trying to launch a Kickstarter?
