future projects
after a very unfortunate day that consisted of the awkwardness, sheer horror, and lack of illustration job offerings at the career fair at parsons combined with spilling a huge hot cup of coffee all over myself in public, i am amazed that i haven't given up on illustration all together! however, everyone has a love hate relationship with their first love. i suppose you just can't rely on big agencies when you are in the field of illustration...i am sure this is me being very premature in my views. and my life as a struggling artists stops when?
anyhow, aside from the atrocities of the day i am still inspired by some up-and-coming projects personal and school-related.
1. gig poster time!
2. my cocktails of 2009 calendar to be up on lulu.com for sale!
3. website being revamped again for the 1 millionth time!
i am so annoyed because i wanted to play sims 2 tonight and i just realized that it is in the studio with my big box of nerdy computer equipment. i guess the rest of the night will consist of TAPS on the scifi channel and/or possibly snood. wow i am really exciting haha.

Dear Illustration Community...
To be a successful artist, it does not matter how many gallery shows you have, how much money you make, who your fans are. What matters is dignity, modesty, and being able to form a community with fellow artist and build strong bonds with your peers. I witnessed today something that blew my mind. I from now on will never endorse livejournal.com to ever grace my presence with ever again. These are the reasons...
1. Artist communites are for networking and building friends...today my art was completely trashed for no reason by ignorant and shallow people. I am all for criticism if it is constructive, but to say *you suck*, *you should have never posted such garbage here*, *you can't draw*, *your work makes me forget how to speak english* is over the top. I don't even know these people. I didn't even provoke them to say such garbage.
2. I don't think my art is perfect. In fact every piece I do is a work in progress and to say that would be false and arrogant. To say I can't draw really interests me because if I can't draw then what exactly am I posting? What exactly am I doing wrong? I don't expect everyone to love my art...in fact I expect people to hate it too. Its anyones opinion.
3. I could say that I don't care what people say, but of course the sheer rudeness and anger upsets me to an extent. It upsets me that people can be so hurtful over the internet and treat you as if you aren't an actual human being. To randomly lash out at my art is immature and destructive to yourself and the community you reside in.
4. Good luck networking with other artists in the future. I will be sure to give all of you people that have such a random chip on your shoulder a good recommendation for a magazine or client.
I just had to rant about that and warn other artists that believe in their work to not post anything on livejournal. It will just ruin your day. I am lucky to know many amazing people who are extremely talented and helpful to those around them within their field...I hope that these negative energies find other ways to make themselves feel better than to lash out at peoples artwork so randomly.
