I´m enjoying holidays and writing a kind of essay for school. At the start of october I´m going to have an exam and it´s going to be my last one before I´m starting to work on my diploma! From october till february I will work my ass off to design and produce an outstanding fashion collection... I´m so excited! I just applied for a credit, cause all the fabric and stuff will be sooo expensive!

Hope I´ll get through this well,
so keep your fingers crossed :blowkiss:
Love,
Anna

P.S.: There probably won´t be many updates here the next months, I´m sorry...

I just subscribed for 3 months and I love redesigning my page :D
I´m busy with studies as always,
but I spend a lot more time on DA than the last few months.
I always try to upload stuff I´m doing,
like drawings from school.
I still love drawing fantasy stuff though,
and I hope I will have enough time to do some of this, too.

Lots of love,
Anna

But I really loved the CSS style I had in my last journal :D
Well, news:

I´m doing a practical at "Joop! Jeans women" at the moment and I looooove it! I´m staying there for six months and I´m there since february. I´m working with some very cool designers and I´m learning lots of important things about design, the industry, drawing, etc.
Not much time to update my gallery, but every now and then I can post a little dwarfy or something like that :D

Hope you enjoy the wonderful spring/summer and keep on drawing, painting and taking photos....

Lots of love,
Anna

Yes, I´m old... A quarter of a century! Wow...
Wonderful people sang funny songs for me and I got cool presents :D I´m now a proud owner of an electrical eraser, how cool is this? These things make you want to erase even the good parts of your drawings...

So now I´m going to eat more cake and watch TV. A nice birthday evening ;)
Wish you all the best, take care!

I was at the "Spiel 07" in Essen/Germany, a huge fair for all kinds of games. There I met some artists I really like, including Eva Widermann, Marko Djurdjevic and my friend Klaus Scherwinski.
You can also take a look at Lydia Schuchmanns page, another young illustrator I met in Essen. She´s really nice and her work is adorable... :iconlychen:

I had a wonderful day... :)

Every day, there are more and more Craigs List posts seeking “artists” for everything from auto graphics to comic books to corporate logo designs. More people are finding themselves in need of some form of illustrative service.

But what they’re NOT doing, unfortunately, is realizing how rare someone with these particular talents can be.

To those who are “seeking artists”, let me ask you; How many people do you know, personally, with the talent and skill to perform the services you need? A dozen? Five? One? …none?

More than likely, you don’t know any. Otherwise, you wouldn’t be posting on craigslist to find them.

And this is not really a surprise.

In this country, there are almost twice as many neurosurgeons as there are professional illustrators. There are eleven times as many certified mechanics. There are SEVENTY times as many people in the IT field.

So, given that they are less rare, and therefore less in demand, would it make sense to ask your mechanic to work on your car for free? Would you look him in the eye, with a straight face, and tell him that his compensation would be the ability to have his work shown to others as you drive down the street?

Would you offer a neurosurgeon the “opportunity” to add your name to his resume as payment for removing that pesky tumor? (Maybe you could offer him “a few bucks” for “materials”. What a deal!)

Would you be able to seriously even CONSIDER offering your web hosting service the chance to have people see their work, by viewing your website, as their payment for hosting you?

If you answered “yes” to ANY of the above, you’re obviously insane. If you answered “no”, then kudos to you for living in the real world.

But then tell me… why would you think it is okay to live out the same, delusional, ridiculous fantasy when seeking someone whose abilities are even less in supply than these folks?

Graphic artists, illustrators, painters, etc., are skilled tradesmen. As such, to consider them as, or deal with them as, anything less than professionals fully deserving of your respect is both insulting and a bad reflection on you as a sane, reasonable person. In short, it makes you look like a twit.

A few things you need to know;

1. It is not a “great opportunity” for an artist to have his work seen on your car/’zine/website/bedroom wall, etc. It IS a “great opportunity” for YOU to have their work there.

2. It is not clever to seek a “student” or “beginner” in an attempt to get work for free. It’s ignorant and insulting. They may be “students”, but that does not mean they don’t deserve to be paid for their hard work. You were a “student” once, too. Would you have taken that job at McDonalds with no pay, because you were learning essential job skills for the real world? Yes, your proposition it JUST as stupid.

3. The chance to have their name on something that is going to be seen by other people, whether it’s one or one million, is NOT a valid enticement. Neither is the right to add that work to their “portfolio”. They get to do those things ANYWAY, after being paid as they should. It’s not compensation. It’s their right, and it’s a given.

4. Stop thinking that you’re giving them some great chance to work. Once they skip over your silly ad, as they should, the next ad is usually for someone who lives in the real world, and as such, will pay them. There are far more jobs needing these skills than there are people who possess these skills.

5. Students DO need “experience”. But they do NOT need to get it by giving their work away. In fact, this does not even offer them the experience they need. Anyone who will not/can not pay them is obviously the type of person or business they should be ashamed to have on their resume anyway. Do you think professional contractors list the “experience” they got while nailing down a loose step at their grandmother’s house when they were seventeen?

If you your company or gig was worth listing as desired experience, it would be able to pay for the services it received. The only experience they will get doing free work for you is a lesson learned in what kinds of scrubs they should not lower themselves to deal with.

6. (This one is FOR the artists out there, please pay attention.) Some will ask you to “submit work for consideration”. They may even be posing as some sort of “contest”. These are almost always scams. They will take the work submitted by many artists seeking to win the “contest”, or be “chosen” for the gig, and find what they like most. They will then usually have someone who works for them, or someone who works incredibly cheap because they have no originality or talent of their own, rep... ]]> *Schwarzdorn Fashion design http://Schwarzdorn.deviantart.com/journal/11600233/ http://Schwarzdorn.deviantart.com/journal/11600233/ Sun, 28 Jan 2007 13:47:35 PST

I think I´m getting better with every new piece, I just don´t have enough time to concentrate on these things and it sucks! I have to work hard for my studies (I´m going to be a fashion designer..), but most of the time this is fun, too.
