Juggling between the artwork i produce in my free time and the stuff i get assigned to produce at University is always a challenge. After my first year i soon noticed that anything i had done to improve my drawing skills had been accomplished outside of my University work, and it began to frustrate me that i was pouring so much time and money into something that sucked so much inspiration away from my free thinking creativity.
Before i went to University i took a year out after school to work as a Graphics artist for a small company - which i hated. The year out, paired with my experience so far at Uni has taught me one important thing...
For me, Art is most definately an all or nothing business. If i was to compromise with an art job that i hated, my inspiration would soon dry up along with my passion for art, in a way, this has been a driving force which has scared me into making sure i give it my all and make it to the top! If i dont, expect to see me working in a Macdonalds somewhere.
Im hoping that my second year will be a lot more fun, and that i will have more freedom in which to better my style and post more stuff up here.
Wish me luck!
