Woah, lord, I'm almost at 20k views- awesome! I really wanna thank you guys for watching me and liking my work. It really does mean a lot to me. I apologize for not posting as often, but once summer rolls around I'll have more to show you, and maybe even some special offers. c;

I did have a long-winded blog typed up about why I can't sleep, but I'll summarize it like this:

I know what I want to do, I know how I can get it done, I just need the time to do it... but I also am worried that by not taking the path that my parents want me to take, I'm potentially shooting myself in the foot. At the same time, I feel like I'm putting off really working on what I actually want to do, and somehow that seems more important to me. Sometimes I worry about choosing the college that I've attended, but I don't think it will ultimately matter, so long as I put forth enough effort. I'd also like to find a nice city full of creative types where I can get around with just a bicycle and my own two feet and where the sun is always shining and the air smells like warm root beer, but that still feels too far away to really consider.

Now then, what's everyone's plans for the summer?

20k-holycrapawesome. Congrats man! :la: Gotta love those internet milestones.

Out of curiosity, what path do your parents want you to take? Is it something entirely non art related? More than likely, if its a trade or non entertainment job, it sounds like your usual loving concern. There is some truth to the term 'starving artist' after all. :)

Thank you dude! Nah, my parents know I'm determined to do art, and they've been trying to find some places around here that do animation- there's not a whole lot, unfortunately, but they insist there's a burgeoning market for it. And after talking with them, it sounds more like they just want me to get some experience with a bonafide company, and would rather that I work at a local creative agency than head way out to a studio in California. They are concerned, of course, and I'll be sure to double check the companies they've mentioned, but they don't hold that much appeal to me. I guess I'm more concerned with finding a company I'm really passionate about, or else following my passions on my own.

Not gonna lie- opportunities in California are few and far between. Add to that the current system of things here makes for existing artists to have a hard time of it even with decent jobs.

I'd give companies in Canada as well as Oregon a look. They seem to be the new shining beacons most artists and companies are converging on.

Hm, interesting... I'll definitely check it out. Know any good companies I should look up?
