ahh i hope i didn't come across as saying that, i'm just saying that i've heard and seen a lot of artists become really unhappy and quit art altogether because they had art related jobs that were lovely

which is why my goal is to have a completely unrelated job and work on art on the side. which is what most illustrators do anyways.

No worries! I've known a lot of talented people who went down the same road, and it's sad to see. Your plan seems like a fine, realistic one.

I work in the arts, I suppose, though not in a creative sense. When I took the job, some acquaintances of mine straight-facedly accused me of selling out. gently caress our special snowflake generation.

sshiit i guess i'll take it down to the mac store and see what they say, i'm pretty sure i still have applecare. my trackpad has been really weird lately.

If you hold the Option key and click on the battery icon in the menu bar, it should say either "Condition: Normal" or "Condition: Check Battery". If it's the former, the trackpad issues are probably unrelated.

That's not at all, in any way, unique to our generation or even exemplified in it.

aw man don't give up! that poo poo is really hard to do. i haven't sold a single print on any of my online stores, and when i put a big commission post up on tumblr it got reblogged over 100 times and absolutely no one wanted one. i've gotten rejected from the society of illustrators three times. you just gotta make the rejection motivate you to improve and reach out even farther.

The forums going all wonky lately has led to me reading far too much about mysterious disappearances, unsolved murders and the like. I figure just staying freaked out and goosebumpy all the time will cut down on my air conditioning bill
