Well, I want to be an "artist whose work can only be described as expressive, comical, and gross." Yup, that about sums it up.
I've known ever since I was little that I loved to draw, I just never really knew what to do with it. This year my art teacher has been trying to focus my skills and my brain on what I want to do after high school. He's told me he really couldn't care less if I never used my art to make a living, but now that I've been thinking about it, I think it's really something I'd like to do. If the power is there why squander it, right?
Even though with the economy being the way it is and with not many people in the buyer's market as far as advertising goes, I'd still like to be a graphic artist. I don't think I'd enjoy working in a big corporation, but I'd definitely like to be self employed and then work on commission for those big corporations. I may have to live off of Ramen Noodles when the business gets slow, but that's okay, I like Ramen.
In our college years and then when everyone eventually has kids, the band t-shirts you will wear and that your children will wear will be designed by me. And the album covers for the "sickest" bands will also be designed by me. You will think, "Oh my gosh, I remember that girl from high school, wow look at that, she really did something with her life." Yup, it's going to feel really good. It may even be worth coming back to our 10 year reunion for. Wait, let me think that through again, oh, no that was a lie. I'll be too busy making your shirts! And they will look fabulous by the way.
It won't be a gravy train, but it'll be good enough for me!
Please enjoy some of my favorite pieces by Derek Deal. I love you Derek!
