Since my last entry, I have done several interesting jobs involving my art, including the TV show, Acceptable TV and now some cell phone animation. I feel stronger as an artist now that I have been doing more on my own, including using color, which I did not before in my animation career.

More recently, I have been involved with a photographer who has gone to rock shows with me. We are going to have a show in 2008 to display and juxtapose our visions of the bands. That has pushed me to stop just trying to sell sketches to bands and start producing art pieces for collectors. What you see in some of my recent deviations is the beginning of this new growth spurt. I have also continued being active in t-shirt design, but am growing disenchanted with "design by committee," in which my client is actually a mutli-headed hydra that "votes" on what to change in my designs. It never ends when you have a lot of cooks, but only one is actually making the food. There is no way you can pay an artist enough to put up with a committee of people making conflicting suggestions then finally saying, "I am sorry, but we decided to go with another artist." Whatever. Just pay me.
