I'm working on... My second attempt at a successful web-comic. My first shot was about 5 years ago and we were doing way too much for people to get. This time I am going at it from a business stand point, so we'll see if it works. Besides that I am working on keeping my freelance business in the black, building a full design studio and trying to create art that inspires me and helps me stay happy.

Creativity flows like a river all around us and I just peed in it
I'm an artist just trying to make money doing what I love. About a year ago I quit my job of 8 years to freelance for myself. During that time I have come to realize why some of the stupid things had to be done at my previous job, but am finding a way to incorporate art and my work the way I want it to be. Professionally I am just now starting to move in the direction I want, personally I am just existing. I need a social life, but I work all the time. Hoping to meet some like minded people here and add to my inspiration.
A little info about creative people
Mar 06, 2008
I am currently doing some market research for a project I am developing and came across a little bit of information about creative people. I want to make it clear that I am not a researcher and that I did not do a extremely in depth search on this information and, lastly, that it is not presented here in any real professional manner. I just thought I would post it up because I thought, overall, this list of common traits of creative people was interesting. So read on and see how you relate.

Majority are urban or suburban dwellers

And all of which is crazy expensive, so it's really great that I just landed myself a high-paying nine-to-five office job with no weekend work. xDD
I'm excited.
It seems like things are coming together a little bit. :D
"More CEOs have graduated from Princeton than any other school. And this grand dame of the Ivy League doesn’t permit undergrads to major in business. That may be because it offers virtually no business courses.So how does it cultivate CEOs? Because it germinates romantics. By this, I mean young men and women who read poetry, contemplate art, study architecture, drink too much, read Catcher In The Rye 100 times. They are the dreamers. They are the ones who come up with every earth-changing idea"
