Yeah! Cool Mecha. You should make a whole squad of these.

Job hunting sucks, not one interview yet. How 'bout you?

Whoa double comments!

Hey man I hear ya, just keep on trying. You have mad skills…sooner or later all the studios will come looking for you…. Im trying to find some freelance work right now. I almost got a lead to do illos for an indie film, but apparently my portfolio was lacking in realistic type illustrations with realistic color palates. At least the guy liked my work. I think he wanted like 10+ illos in a five week period, which is a lot of work.

Do you still print and send out ur pfolios?

Ricardo said...

I only clicked the send button once, I don't know how that happened. I'll delete one of 'em.



That's a step in the right direction if the dude liked your work. Have you been beefing up your portfolio, maybe he can hire you later on? That sounds like a lot of work but it might be fun, better than pushing a mop.

I heard they were hiring at this studio and sent one slightly upgraded portfolio recently, but I didn't the gig. I've pretty much quit unless something falls in my lap. What can you do? Good Times!

I have a couple of new pieces in the pfolio, not much though. I need to finish them a bit more. So it’s not really beefy.
Maybe he can hire me, but who the hell knows since he already found someone better than me. Yes I concur, any art job is definitely better than mop pushin’

Oh rly? maybe they will contact you later on if they need more work done.

Oh yea, would you ever go get a masters degree or something if given the opportunity? Just random curiosity.

Goodtimes indeed!

I was thinking about going back to school. But I don't think it would help in finding a career at this point, unless you make some sweet hook ups at school. Although if it was a free ride, I might go for it. It'll give some more time to make art and delay joining the work force. Are you planing to go get your MFA?

Alan said...

Nahh, Not really planning or anything, just had the idea lingering in my head.
While it sounds good on paper, I don’t know if it will be worth the risk. Another year sounds tedious to me. The question is will employers care if you have one? Maybe.
