                <description><![CDATA[ <div align="center">[Insert Horns]<br /><img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v190/dchild_blade/Your%20Alexs%20Things/BangBang4copy.png" alt=""><br /><br />-= - = - =-</img><br /><br />I stumbled upon this via ~<a class="u" href="http://makkon.deviantart.com/">Makkon</a><br />It's long but it's definitely worth the read, i feel quite enlightened.<br /><br /><div align="center">- - -</div><br />Every day, there are more and more Craigs List posts seeking ÂartistsÂ 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.<br /><br />But what theyÂre NOT doing, unfortunately, is realizing how rare someone with these particular talents can be.<br /><br />To those who are Âseeking artistsÂ, 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? Ânone?<br /><br />More than likely, you donÂt know any. Otherwise, you wouldnÂt be posting on craigslist to find them.<br /><br />And this is not really a surprise.<br /><br />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.<br /><br />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?<br /><br />Would you offer a neurosurgeon the ÂopportunityÂ to add your name to his resume as payment for removing that pesky tumor? (Maybe you could offer him Âa few bucksÂ for ÂmaterialsÂ. What a deal!)<br /><br />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?<br /><br />If you answered ÂyesÂ to ANY of the above, youÂre obviously insane. If you answered ÂnoÂ, then kudos to you for living in the real world.<br /><br />But then tell meÂ 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?<br /><br />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.<br /><br />A few things you need to know;<br /><br />1. It is not a Âgreat opportunityÂ for an artist to have his work seen on your car/Âzine/website/bedroom wall, etc. It IS a Âgreat opportunityÂ for YOU to have their work there.<br /><br />2. It is not clever to seek a ÂstudentÂ or ÂbeginnerÂ in an attempt to get work for free. ItÂs ignorant and insulting. They may be ÂstudentsÂ, but that does not mean they donÂt deserve to be paid for their hard work. You were a ÂstudentÂ 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.<br /><br />3. The chance to have their name on something that is going to be seen by other people, whether itÂ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. ItÂs not compensation. ItÂs their right, and itÂs a given.<br /><br />4. Stop thinking that youÂ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.<br /><br />5. Students DO need ÂexperienceÂ. 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 ÂexperienceÂ they got while nailing down a loose step at their grandmotherÂs house when they were seventeen?<br /><br />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.<br /><br />6.

<br />
The server at my.deviantart .com is taking too long to respond.</strong><br />
<br />
Why has dA been such a slow piece of unreliable shit as of late?<br />
<br />
I'm paying my own money for a bunch of features on this site, one of which is improved performance, i'm getting none of it.<br />
Improved performance is something that was desperately needed a couple of years ago when i was still a non-sub, some of you may remember what dA was like back in '05 before you bought subs yourselves. I don't know how slow the site is now as a non-sub as i've been a sub since '05, but this is worse than it was when i was one. <br />
i pity the poor non-subs on this site now, they must have it twice as bad.<br />
<br />
Several other friends are also having issues with pages not loading, has the owner sold a couple of servers for a second car or something?<br />
<br />
let's see how many clicks it takes for this journal to submit.<br />

And that makes me feel very good.<br /><br />I'm hoping to get a job at an art shop soon, that would be excellent, Discount art supplies for the win!<br /><br />I recently bought a craft light (Daylight simulation bulb!), so now my eyes don't hurt when i stay up late drawing, woo!<br /><br />My plan to go to Australia next year is in full swing, i am saving and intend to get there, i really don't want to have to go through another English winter. Also i'm planning to go on a Safari to Africa with my friend Cameron in '08! (YAY Hyenas!)<br /><br />I am also very much looking forward to this summer, i can't wait for the sun! *Is a solar Dragon*.<br />I have many people i want to meet, not only the ones in Australia, but several here in England. you all know who you are <br /><br />Anyway, I'm good now, and am feeling very carefree, it feels good <br /><br />Rawr!<br /><br />Expect much art in the near future!<br /><br /><div align="center"><br />------------<br /><br /><span class="shadow-holder"><span class="shadow"><a href="http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/32724936/"><img src="http://fc01.deviantart.com/fs10/i/2006/122/9/c/Originallity_by_kidaru.gif" width="99" height="56" /></a></span></span><br /><span class="shadow-holder"><span class="shadow"><a href="http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/42380458/"><img src="http://fc01.deviantart.com/fs12/i/2006/306/5/b/purple_by_motobug.png" width="99" height="56" /></a></span></span><span class="shadow-holder"><span class="shadow"><a href="http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/44442517/"><img src="http://fc02.deviantart.com/fs9/f/2006/343/c/b/Dragon_Stamp_by_teddykiller.gif" width="99" height="56" /></a></span></span><br /><span class="shadow-holder"><span class="shadow"><a href="http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/37519125/"><img src="http://fc03.deviantart.com/fs11/i/2006/218/1/4/Stamp__Dragon_fanatic_by_Dragarta.jpg" width="99" height="56" /></a></span></span><span class="shadow-holder"><span class="shadow"><a href="http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/45134365/"><img src="http://fc08.deviantart.com/fs13/f/2006/355/7/d/I__m_an_anthro_artist_by_Myenia.jpg" width="99" height="56" /></a></span></span><span class="shadow-holder"><span class="shadow"><a href="http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/41906673/"><img src="http://fc06.deviantart.com/fs12/i/2006/297/a/4/LOVE_by_coffinberry.jpg" width="99" height="56" /></a></span></span><br /><span class="shadow-holder"><span class="shadow"><a href="http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/26860406/"><img src="http://fc02.deviantart.com/fs8/i/2005/360/c/9/The_one_to_start_it_off_by_GarytheDragon.gif" width="99" height="56" /></a></span></span><span class="shadow-holder"><span class="shadow"><a href="http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/43089237/"><img src="http://fc05.deviantart.com/fs12/f/2006/319/a/1/Stamp__PC_Gaming_Enthusiast_by_PyroTeamkill.png" width="115" height="69" /></a></span></span><span class="shadow-holder"><span class="shadow"><a href="http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/39651454/"><img src="http://fc02.deviantart.com/fs21/f/2007/265/f/1/f1ac31831bf1dbbd.gif" width="99" height="56" /></a></span></span><span class="shadow-holder"><span class="shadow"><a href="http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/37289115/"><img src="http://fc08.deviantart.com/fs11/i/2006/213/4/b/Yanno__just_cuz__by_Dandebird.png" width="99" height="55" /></a></span></span><br /><span class="shadow-holder"><span class="shadow"><a href="http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/39094491/"><img src="http://fc05.deviantart.com/fs11/i/2006/244/8/1/Stamp__Dragons_Need_Love_Too_by_FantasyStockAvatars.gif" width="99" height="56" /></a></span></span><span class="shadow-holder"><span class="shadow"><a href="http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/37093516/"><img src="http://fc08.deviantart.com/fs20/f/2007/283/7/e/Love_Hate_Support_Stamp_by_Inspirized.png" width="99" height="56" /></a></span></span><span class="shadow-holder"><span class="shadow"><a href="http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/44417783/"><img src="http://fc03.deviantart.com/fs7/f/2006/347/b/e/Join_The_Club_by_Astronomers.gif" width="99" height="56" /></a></span></span><span class="shadow-holder"><span class="shadow"><a href="http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/38840203/"><img src="http://fc05.deviantart.com/fs11/i/2006/240/3/9/Dragonflight_Stamp_by_patrx.gif" width="99" height="56" /></a>... ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ ok... let me start from the begining...  you may wanna read this whole thing,  it's kinda interesting...<br />
<br />
the weirdest thing happened to me at  work this morning... i'm talking super  weird.. this is the strangest thing  that's ever happened to me...<br />
<br />
My supervisor walked over to me and was  hiding something brown under her  sweater thing, and was like "hehe, what  have you been ordering Alex" and i was  like "what have I been ordering? :S  huh?" and my friend laura went "what is  it" and my supervisor goes "it's  something he didn't want his mother to  see <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/letters/=p.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":P" title=":P (Lick)" />" and i was like "huh?? wha?!" and  laura went "what is it a DVD?" and my  super produced this brown package... in  the shape of a DVD case.. and i'm all  "WTF?!? i haven't ordered anything <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/letters/S.gif" border="0" align="middle" />  S:S" and she was all "well it has your  name on it"<br />
<br />
and i hadn't ordered anything, so i  have no idea where this thing came  from. so i wait about till i get a  quiet moment from customers and as i'm  waiting about i'm like "omg omg omg  what if some one has sent me porn as a  joke" (i'm on a checkout). but i  finally open it ...  <br />
<br />
and.....<br />
<br />
 it turns out to be Amstrad's  Anniversary Edition<br />
<br />
"WHAT........ THE........ HELL......"<br />
<br />
this just made things even more  confusing... and i'm like "WHAT?!" <br />
<br />
i have absolutely NO idea why ANY one  would: <br />
<br />
1) send me THAT in the first place.. <br />
<br />
and 2) why they'd send it to where i  work... <br />
<br />
i mean WHO the hell would send me that<br />
<br />
WHO the hell knows i work there<br />
<br />
and why the hell would some one send me  Amstrad's Anniversary Edition lol... i  mean jeez... "The excitement, thrill  and challenge of... PONG!" lol, not  that it's a bad game.. but... WHY!!<br />
<br />
if any one has any information on this  at all please contact me!<br />
<br />
so that was kinda the highlight of my  day.. if not month..<br />
<br />
also there was no return address and  had three stamps on it.. which came to  a total of 64p!<br />
<br />
i refuse to install it, or even put the  disk in my PC.. it could be some kinda  Nuke Virus or something... my friend  was like "do you have any arch  enemies?".. lol.. my answer was "too  many!" <br />
<br />
Ahh well... ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ ooooooooooo where to begin...<br />
<br />
ok.. first thing's first i guess...  "Hello"<br />
<br />
ok phew, glad that's out of the way...<br />
<br />
now... it all started when i woke up  this morning.. [large amounts of  rambling may occur].. and i noticed the  time was half 9 in the morning... that  was kind of a bad sign seeing as i had  to start work at Half 9 this very  morning... so i was all "shit shit shit  shit" rushed down the stairs and  everything realised i left the budgie  covered up... rushed back upstairs,  right, now i'm all "omg omg shit, i  wish i hadn't run up those stars". so  now i'm back down stairs and i have to  formulate a really neat excuse as to  why i'm late... i call work and i go:  "oh erm.. yea my mum (always blame your  mum <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/w/wink.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=";)" title=";) (Wink)" />) forgot to put my clock back.. or  something so yea i'm gonna be a bit  late..." so that went ok, they believed  me and all.. so yay! Now i have to get  ready and stuff, i didn't get to have  breakfast so that was a real bummer...  but to cut to the chase.. work was  crappy and knackering as usuall.. got  home, had to de-stress myself so i  painted "Flight", that went well,  listened to some chillin' tunes...  *phew* all relaxed and chilled and  everything suddenly !BOOM! your best  ever clan for a year and a half has  just disbanded for no reason... (my  clan was called TFH or 'The Forgotten  Heroes' [dont ask]) and we were like a  family at the very begining, we were  all really close... suddenly our 13  year old leader Taka decides to go  against all my advice i'd given him,  {i'd been in about 6-7 clans prior to  TFH so i know a bit about what works  etc} and began enlisting anyone and  everyone... so a year on and we're full  of people who rarely show up and people  who act like children, Taka the leader  just doesn't seem to care at all...the  clan admin just doesn't show up any  more, not sure why... but anyway i  suddenly see all my best clan friend  leaving and i spend something like 7  hours just ranting at them all trying  to get them to reconsider staying and  i'll sort Taka out again and everything  but they are having none of it... and  around 10:00 PM UK time i finally saw  there was only one way out of this.. to  chainsaw myself away from my loyalty  and morals and just quit TFH... i guess  i saw what my friends were saying was  true... oh well... now i'm neither here  or there... well what ever.. any way,  now i have the head ache to kill all  headaches and have to work on 7  scripts... Tal' the leader of the  Dracten Mod for HL2 has asked me to do  a revision of a revision of his  revision of the first revision, i  already did a revision of the first  revision, but he revised the first  revision by accident instead of my  revision so now i have to do the first  revision all over again.... i'm really  begining to hate the word "Revision"...  well here i am.. another day in which i  forgot to order my damn wacom tablet  and i only have two more days until  saturday... which means another full on  day of working at somerfield...<br />
Uuggh... does any one have anything i  can kill? please? ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ yep, it's that time again, time to go  off on a ramble about how things are  going in my world...<br />
<br />
well, today i had to work, so that was  a bummer, i missed my good mate's  birthday drink.<br />
<br />
well, still no luck on a scanner..  guess i'll just have to stockpile my  artwork until either a scanner turns up  or my Wacom Tablen, i should be  ordering it tomorrow. i'm dead worried  i'm gonna get the wrong one, or a  rubbish one etc...<br />
<br />
oh well, i'll keep any one reading this  posted... ]]></description>
