Well, mostly off. All the while I watched you and other artists I admire continue to grow in your skills. I'm wishing now that I had been more determined and less fearful of taking the full artistic plunge. Let's see if I can get the next 5 years right. Thanks for sharing.ivanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04956308760559466415noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5694386010612422591.post-24039431190661859292009-05-19T12:59:00.000-07:002009-05-19T12:59:00.000-07:00"my "but's" were evident to me as only excuses." O..."my "but's" were evident to me as only excuses." Oi I know far too many people, including myself, who are at that point of realization and have either surpassed it or, more commonly, are buried by this string of 'buts'.<br /><br />I've felt this way so many times and am so happy that I've decided to ignore the inner voice that nags of security to really take the plunge into freelancing and promotion. I couldn't be more happy (and broke), but I am confident all this preparation and work will pay off in the end.<br /><br />As always, you're an inspiration for me. I'm so glad to hear that it IS possible to make it in freelancing if one works hard enough and takes the opportunities they are usually not brave enough to take.<br /><br />Thanks for sharing, as always:)Angela R.

And I can totally relate to the rapidograph bit... I was so excited to get a set as a present, and loved using them. But the hours I spent at the sink trying to unclog them was just too much!Rachelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00267905699202930130noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5694386010612422591.post-11743900430220403532009-05-07T13:31:00.000-07:002009-05-07T13:31:00.000-07:00Yeah, when you're standing at that cusp, that's th...Yeah, when you're standing at that cusp, that's the hardest.
