finally after working very hard towards going bankrupt in style via a forth month of minus income i have managed to convince a few folk to pay me for my services - though whether or not this will meet my outgoings or maybe even exceed them this month is dubious, but, nevertheless, it's better than absolutely bugger all, yeah!
the thing is, i do a lot of work, but i never seem to get paid - it's weird, i'm not entirely sure how this became the 'absolute norm' within my life, but i seriously can't remember a time where i haven't been doing work for free - and the weirdest thing about this fact is, that much of this work that i do for free, other folk get paid top dollar for.....!
so, taking this fact on board, i believe it is high time for a 180ยบ about turn - and so, my new mantra is thus:
it's time i got treated like everyone else on the planet
it's time i got respected for my knowledge and skills
it's time i got paid just like every other mucker
so that i can actually pay some bills
ok, so i'm not a poet, ha ha, but you get the drift......
today i have been back to making something really complicated - it's using one of the drawings i did in feb for the 28drawingslater project and working out how to turn it into a fully animated paper character...
the whole point of this process is to test some ideas i've had for a while now (the book launch for 28drawingslater is this saturday where a real live book containing drawings from the project, including 2 of mine, will be on view to paw - woo! i'll find out more details of how to buy a copy and circulate if any of you fancy).
hope all is well in your world and you like the sunshine xxxx
