and by that, i mean speculative work, i.e. "If you design this for me, I'll pay you if I like it."
i just thought i'd spread some word about how much people are willing take advantage of artists and designers. "I can't pay you for this, but it would be a great piece for your portfolio." Would you go to a tattoo parlour and ask for a free tattoo to add to their portfolio? their entire portfolio is full of paying customers already! any artist should not have to put time and resources into something without a guarantee of getting paid. the client makes a decision and accepts the risks involved. you don't tell a mechanic that you can only pay $50, you pay the $250 because THATS HOW MUCH IT COSTS. why should someone take away hours of your time and get something for nothing? they are asking for professional grade work for free. it just ticks me off, theres a little man in my head running around punching walls. you worked hard to learn the things you know, now get paid for it! and always, always write up a contract.
its something that happens every single day, and it will continue to happen as long as artists keep feeding the trolls!

Meanwhile
Apparently it's been 3 years since I wrote. What happened? Where are you now? I've been making book covers for romance novels, you'll find a bunch of them on Amazon kindle. Don't read them though, they are filthy. Just look at the cover. Actually, don't look at the covers either, they are filthy. I've been busy.
I bought a mini quadcopter, they are awesome. If any new pilot is planning on dropping like $200 on a drone, I would recommend first dropping $30 on a mini one which is amazingly good at crashing. I mean, I'm getting better at flying (still nose-out flying, I usually crash nose-in) but crashing is to be expected when you fly a copter
Welp
So here I will list all the crap I intended to do over the past month and in the next little while, because I need to organise my thoughts a bit. People sometimes wonder how i get all these random ass jobs, but I don't really know. THAT IS JUST HOW ERRATIC MY LIFE IS.
-30"x24" Batman poster, the render is done i just need to colourise it and draw Batman in properly.
-Still Born's "Let's Go To Jail" album cover
-Rig the Locust model for animation
-"Broken guitar" tattoo
-A cool design for the name "Rich" (will be lasered onto a stein)
Now we'll see how well I did in another 6 months or so. By then, if all of these things aren't done, WHA
Tyranid Swarm
Some new photoshop painting probably coming up soon, I am so very slow at everything.
Watch out for signs of zombie apocalypse, I have been gathering an army of giant bugs to help out and digging a bunker out in the countryside.
To team up you must show zero signs of infection and share all of your resources.
That is all.
The Journal
Here I make a new entry. Maybe one day I'll look back on all these entries, and realise what an idiot I am.
I am still a teacher. Not much new there other than I shouldn't let myself be late for work any more :facepalm:
I have fallen back into my old ways. I rarely see friends any more, so much that I'm not sure if I still really do have any. It's all my own doing, of course. I don't really know how to invite myself into other people's schedules, not really sure how everyone else does these things.
My grandma is 93 years old and she is finally starting to go off her nut, so my mom is visiting her in England. I remember every time we went f
