thanks beautiful. I am sure glad you love it. Keep on rocking and rolling. You are amazing at what you do. The man would be lucky to have you but I am glad he doesn’t. Thanks again.

@chepooka: No, exactly. I know you get it. Thanks!

To be creative day after day after day on command (and often with very similar motifs) it can be really challenging. It’s not all “do whatever you want, you’re the boss”. In fact, most of it isn’t.

Sure, we could be working for the Man, getting benefits and leaving our job at the office at 5pm every day. But then we wouldn’t have the opportunity to do what we’re passionate about and provide our clients with designs to support what *they’re* passionate about. And something tells me in an office Casual Fridays don’t include my robot pajama pants.

SO CUTE!! And I can totally appreciate how much it means to you. I don’t know if people realize how much work is required to make a living as a self-employed creative professional. I hope it’s not presumptuous, but I am pretty sure you’ll agree that there are many other things we could be doing that would be far easier and lucrative, but it is THIS that brings us back to the WHY WE DO IT. Right? Yay you, that is teh awesome.
