Freelancin' in a Bad Economy

well a SHITTY economy really, nothing seems to be looking up, and no one I know (including myself) is having any luck finding a decent job, I've been laid off a few jobs, and I had no idea what to do, then out of nowhere I remember my good friend's mother who's an art teacher at my high school explaining to me that digital art is hot right now. So I took her advice and hit the books, and video training programs, and youtube tutorials, and read more books. I've been studying the digital arts for a few years now, but I've only recently been able to understand it. After a few months of self discipline I finally got the courage to offer my new freelance service, Web Design. Pardon my french (well actually I really don't care) but I was shocked as fuck with the results. It's only been a couple weeks and I'm designing web sites, pages, myspace layouts everything. I've been so busy I don't have time to create MY OWN SITE, which will be up by july I hope :)

If I could recommend anything to the struggling artist, I know I know I feel your pain, Digital art doesnt have that human touch, however it's one hell of a money maker, so suck it up and get some digital skills!

An overdue update

In a classic stream of thought style, never fails to disappoint, Russo posted that i had and I quote, one of the best blogs of 2009....what ever the hell that means, I supposed its a good thing I wouldn't mind having the incoming freshmen look at my blog, I'll probably hang around the freshman learning community class for work study anyway, I also want to work in the dark room again, can I have two work studies I'm not sure? But yeah so I got straight A's this semester which made me quite happy, Im planning to keep it up, however I couldn't stay away from facebook because there are some people who are pathetic and decided that using a cell phone is now yesterdays technology UGh whatever I cant think of much to write right but ill just keep on writing kinda like that blue fish in finding nemo i cant think of her name but you know the one that goes just keep swimming just kwwp swimming, ah speaking of which I'm working on a painting for my friend natia, a very aquatic painting, full of.....well water, Ive found myself writing (or rather typing) a lot of poetry lately, I should post it here since thats the kind of stuff Russo wants to see, its funny he's the only one who actually looks at these I don't think Hey has the time and Don just doesn't give a flying fuck about these blogs, not to say the incoming freshmen shouldn't do them its for the grade at first anyway I actually enjoy doing them but Russo will tell u to fail the class on purpose which is all cool and w/e but i wouldn't recommend it. I visited my high school's art show and wow....do they suck lol im just kidding they were great I loved the AP work that was up, great now, I'll write about my art hang ups later I'm feeling a bit nostalgic which i hate cause i want to go back to a time of no responsibilities eh oh well, i need to buy more canvas cause Don got me into buying better art supplies I feel all powerful stretching my own canvas and yes russo there is a difference im using cotton duck because well.......thats all i can afford it is now 1:22 in the morning these damn blogger clocks are never right but im starting to get extremely tired probably from the toxic fumes of fresh house paint on the wall Im going to try to go to sleep now g'night all you blogg readers!!!
