Lon,
I just looked at your site and I can only guess that your friend doesn't really understand how much you have accomplished and how diverse and active you are. We can all consider ourselves lucky if we have even a handful of friends or acquaintances who really understand us. After-all, while we have been living our lives, they've been busy living theirs. Most can't be expected to know us even if they were to "walk a mile in our shoes" since all of us have traveled so much further than a mile to get to where we are. Even "friends" can be clueless.
I hope your medical issues improve, that's more important than anything.
We all need thick skins (I should know) in this business. When you do have that next level of success, don't be surprised to find that you simply get a new set of critics, those who are certain you must have sold your soul or else you wouldn't be successful!
The thousands of people who own and enjoy the drawings you have made over the years would beg to differ with your "friend". If asked, I'm sure that they would say that they not only approve of what you do but are very grateful that you were there to do it for them. There are many more like them out there. Your "friend" is hugely out numbered.
