Using weed as an excuse for drinking alcohol? Are you really that messed up? Christ.

I really dislike this "you must follow and monetize your dreams" stuff that seems to have captured the public imagination.

It doesn't take much intelligence or motivation to do someone's taxes, or become a certified electrician, or be a law clerk. America's fixation with work has made people believe that work MUST be the center of their life and the driving force for fulfillment and happiness. It's ACTUALLY very possible to have a stable job and also perform kabuki theater, do underwater drum circles with dolphins, paint model trains, or do whatever other dumb shit you want to do with your life but can't monetize.

Very few people dream from childhood of doing others' taxes. Yet, there's a lot of accountants that lead wholly fulfilling lives. Put two and two together.

Mana's and CHERRY's posts made me think of ideas. If you'd like an easy way of selling prints and shirts and stuff, try out Society6! They print and ship everything for you, and you make some money for each thing. It's not the best way to make fast money but I've been using it and it's helpful. You can also post your art around [do you have a blog?] to get some traction. Tumblr is cool for that kind of stuff and makes sharing art easier.

clckwrki can't believe anyone would ever consider using two drugs

It happens, I don't even think it's unusual in Europe if those drugs are weed and alcohol. Then again it may have bad results if you keep mixing them instead of switching once during a night.

I got a job at a screen printing shop, I get to prep files for printing.
I'm gunna take a lot of the advice I got and just run with it. Hopefully I'll be printing some of my own stuff when I can spare the money.

you should reach out to foster the people, their album artwork is pretty similar to your art style and you'd probably make big bucks if they used your art for something. they are an awful band but I always found their album artwork kinda cool.

foster the people are a little too famous for someone unknown. If you wanna see your artwork on an album cover there are many small bands who would pay you small cash for it. It would get you well known if your artwork was good enough and then you could end up making it for big pop bands who will pay you a lot more.

I don't really need tips in that area. I did work with the artery foundation and rise back when I was 19. Now it's tough getting work for shirt designs and the process is a bitch. (Kill fees, clauses and major revisions on a design that wasn't given any real direction to begin with) I switched to show posters for a year and a half working with underground labels and local venues and bookers. Once cash stopped coming from that I did a series of posters for exploding in sound. A lot of the bands I worked with on that label blew up and now it looks good for my past client history.

But it doesn't pay the bill. I got enough experience and advice from the DIY folks and I'm going to move in that direction until something happens. I had some cool stuff lined up with some interesting folks here in the tf2 community, but now it's on the back burner until I spend some time getting my hands dirty at this new job.
