First off, I'm not complaining. I have a full time job that gives me pretty decent insurance, and out of the woodwork the video game company called me up and offered me a bunch of work. Woo! Then, tonight, my old security boss called me and offered me some freelance work. On top of everything, I've applied for a couple of stop motion jobs.

Webpage updates!
Finally getting the site updated to the way I want it. Yay for dreamweaver. iWeb is cool and all, but dreamweaver has much more functionality. Sweet.

What are you good at?
I was asked recently, "What are you good at?" and "What do you want to do?"
To the first, I intended to say 'Learning'. I consider myself a philosopher in a sense... in the sense that philosophers "love the pursuit of knowledge"... perhaps more than the finding of it. Now that I finally get to go to art school, I'm having a blast... I'm learning how to do things I'd always wanted to do, and since I got all those boring general ed classes out of the way a decade or so ago, everything is fun right now -- even when it's hard. Perhaps especially when it's hard.

The sad assumptions about artists...
Feeling a little melancholy this evening. I should be able to make a living with my art, right? Other people do. It's sad that people don't take artists very seriously, considering how necessary we are.
What? You don't believe me?
Stand up. Right now. Take a look around you. That computer, the stuff on the desktop, the mouse, the desk, the chair you just had your butt in, the room you're in, the windows, your clothes (yes, even those threadbare socks), your coffee cup, the light fixtures, the light bulbs, the tape dispenser, the paperclips, and everything else around you (yes, EVERYTHING), started life as a drawing. Some artist, somewhere, designed it all. (Except God, I suspect he didn't start with paper first, but who can say for sure?) Consider your toilet and the poor fellow who sculpted the first one... yet where would we be without it?
