Great rant David, preach on brother!

Sold a few works from my last show, which covered framing, so that was nice. Giving a lecture next month to a group of Maine artists. And should be in a book being published this fall:

I actually did more fine art when I owned my own graphics biz, because I could take advantage of the up-and-down cycles of the action sportswear biz. I’d cram and push paid work to create month-long blocks of free time. Now I work steady hours as a graphic artist/illustrator/designer, but at least the hours are good.

Plus I always seem to have some wild-haired side scheme or two cooking on the graphics/entrepreneurial side of things… My only nugget of advice is to finish at least some of the side projects you start for yourself. I started a coloring book for my nieces years ago – I should finish it before my own kids grow up. :)

Oh, and I don’t ignore your advice, remember the shit and the smile!!
