9-5 jobs suck the creativity out of you. (luckily my job is technically creative...)
The last thing I want to do when I get home from work is draw/design/whatever. I'm also not that into doing freelance work which I am usually severely underpaid for. It's hard to get motivated about a project if the client doesn't even think you're worth a professional hourly rate. (Hi, I went to school for a reason...it wasn't just for funsies.)
I bought a moleskin, with hopes of sketching in it. I have one page half filled.....it's not working out so well.
Maybe one day I'll get a kickass freelance job which pays well...and maybe that will get me back in
I'm finally going to be in a magazine! I received a merit award (in Student Graphic Design) from Creative Quarterly. I don't know what piece got in...we'll see in a couple months I suppose.
Hooooorah.
I ended up getting a job 9 days after I graduated. That is what we like to call, good luck (especially in this economy). So, I started June 30th. I love it so far, couldn't ask for a better first job. School paid off :) .
