and then they will hate you, it’s inevitable. only give a little bit of yourself to the public, so they won’t grow tired of you. admiration quickly turns to resentment, then bitterness, jealousy and ultimately, hate.
It’s the year of the dragon. (By the way I’m a snake, that’s why it’s highlighted).
last drawing & another possible sticker design.
another possible sticker design.
i’m going to be posting 2 more drawings, please like whichever you think is worthy of becoming my next sticker. whichever gets the most “likes” will most likely be the one. thanks
I’m sort of in a rut, but not entirely. My current work situation isn’t horrible, but it isn’t super fabulous either. I have no clue what I want to do next, but what I do know is that I don’t want to be limited (or pigeonholed) to doing the same thing; I want some challenges and some variety in the work I do. I also want to continue learning and keep my skills current and up to date. I want to help others grow and reach their goals as well. Unfortunately, none of that is happening right now; I’m getting bored more and more frequently but at the same time I can’t complain too much either; I have a job and I’m doing what I’m good at. I guess we’ll see how the year pans out.
A very good read over at Nubby Twiglet: Setting goals: doing what you love in 2012
and i wouldn’t have liked the song as much were it not for the video. pure genius.

Don’t be the designer who gets proficient and then stops. It’s easy to make a steady living doing that one thing you’re really good at. Until something comes along and obliterates it. Aim higher. Remember those guys who were really good at Debabelizer? (Ask your parents.) Don’t spend your career satisfied with doing things you’re good at – try to do things you’re not good at. You’ll eventually be good at more things, and you’ll know what you honestly suck at. And you’ll have a longer career.
There’s a ton of great shit coming down the pike this year, including stuff that’s gonna surprise us. Not to mention the stuff we’re still getting used to from last year. The future’s not only fun, it’s messy. Welcome it with open arms.
