Struggling to be an artist
0 min read
So, to be a "real" artist, is it all about getting paid for your work? I've done tons of art for myself, but it all just sits there (you can see some of it sitting here). It looks good, but what's it worth? What's the point?
Occasionally someone sees my work and wants me to do some art for them. I've made money on the side like that since I was a teen. I've made some decent money from single projects here and there. Just as often I get someone who's like "I'll give you a couple bucks if you can design a tattoo for me". Family thinks I should do stuff like that for them for free.
When I ask my art buds what they charge it's something

...I've gotten several drawings done lately, and have picked up a few nice paying freelance projects also. I'm starting to feel like an artist again. :)

It's about time
0 min read
...about time I posted something new, and about time I again have time (with my new job and schedule structure) to create. Now that my job is the same shift M-F's (as opposed to the last one which was all over the place) I see this nice solid block of weekly time I can use to create in. Not that I didn't have time with the last job, but apparently my mind wants to see a coherent flow of time or else it just isn't interested. I dunno, I'm still processing exactly what's up with my sudden rush of drawing drive. Hopefully I'll keep cranking out the work and have lots of new illustrations to post this winter. :)

Your work is incredible! I couldn't help but fave! 
Thanks for the llama, Andrew. I was starving!
Not sure I get the whole llama thing but hey, have a llama.
Yeah, it's an odd thing. I wonder if the llama in "Napoleon Dynamite" had anything to do with it.
awesome gallery , cool work ! I'll be watching you
Thank you! And thanks for the Watch. I really like your airbrush style illustrations. Your color work is very strong.
