Identity Crisis

*takes a deep breath* Ok, here we go.

I have a little predicament involving my future line of work which shall very shortly (a week) also shape my new social life. Damn I hate fresh starts.

My first name is D.C. Well, it's my first and middle initials but I've always signed my stuff (art, writings, etc) that way. I'm wondering if this shall cause confusion/lack of work in the future when I fully enter the comic book field because of DC Comics (or if I should happen to get an internship with Marvel.) Should I create a pseudonym for my first name (not too found of my real first name (Daniel/Danny/Dan is far too common. (Ooh like that? Parentheses within parentheses.))) or stick with D.C. which everyone calls me anyway? In a few days shall be starting at an art school where many of the teachers currently work or used to work for DC Comics. Think they would give me a hard time? ("DC Comics" is kind of retarded anyway since the 'C' stands for Comics so it's really Detective Comics Comics, but I doubt they would change the name for me.)

I am so very confused. Any advice would be appreciated. Damn my obsession with names. *bangs head on desk*

side note: Danchastu is the first three letters of my names put together so can't do much with thatl.

Well no offense, I came in here hoping this was dealing with the recent comic arc "Identity Crisis", good arc, but I have yet to read issue 7.

Now on to your problem... whyt not sign it something like D.C Stu or something like that.. I mean atleast this way it has some part of you and not just the comic initial. You could also try Da. C.. er... nevermind

I think you should stick with D.C. I mean, DC comics is great, But your not trying to be them.. Thats your name and if anyone makes refrence to it, (I doubt they will (Often)) then be like yep. Your art is great so keep up what you do..

Maybe its a pun! ^_^

Anyway...

Stay DC and slap anybody who tries to make something about it (actually, viciously murder them in their sleep would probably be better [they'd learn their lesson more], but that usually leads to serious legal problems which would irreversibly ruin your comic book career).
