Fans of the theme not the piece
I've seen alot of amazing pieces on this site and unfortunately, seen more people get recognized with followers and favorites if they do a few anime fan pieces (aka draw the person for about a hour scan it and upload)

Clients...
There is a old saying that goes, for every 10 clients you get 2 at most will be as good a client as you hoped them to be...
Example: mashreport.com
This is a client that I delt with on other projects, prior to dealing to this site... which resulted with me forgetting lessons I've learned over the years, pretty much letting him steer the whole project and I became the screwdriver... long story short I worked on the site for almost 4 months pouring countless hours into it with millions of revisions,  and hollow promises of payment... ]]> http://thespinxsage.deviantart.com/journal/Back-and-ready-222937679 http://thespinxsage.deviantart.com/journal/Back-and-ready-222937679 Sun, 21 Nov 2010 05:10:26 PST Back and ready nonadult journals/personal TheSpinxSage http://a.deviantart.net/avatars/t/h/thespinxsage.jpg?1 Copyright 2010-2013 ~TheSpinxSage @TheSpinxSage http://thespinxsage.deviantart.com/journal/Rocking-out-in-the-ROK-223369827 http://thespinxsage.deviantart.com/journal/Rocking-out-in-the-ROK-223369827 Thu, 28 Oct 2010 21:04:18 PDT Rocking out in the ROK nonadult journals/personal TheSpinxSage http://a.deviantart.net/avatars/t/h/thespinxsage.jpg?1 Copyright 2010-2013 ~TheSpinxSage @TheSpinxSage

I got asked what does CMYK means yesterday by a designer friend of mine, and my response was simple;
"CMYK stands for print colors -Cyan, Magenta,Yellow,and Black."

But To me CMYK is a mind state...

Ok... enough "sage" talk >.> ...

To sum it up... after what seemed like a long time of negative times, things are beginning to look brighter, not only for me but for everything around me... after losing a large sum of money due to a combo of "recession + deadbeat clients" I'm recovering fast & everywhere I turn, good news flourishes...

1. `Manicho (one of my favorite designers) creates banicci (a world wide example of the graphic future)

In this current day and age... and for the past 30 years, from the moment you draw something... be it a completed painting to a sketch in a book, it is your work and is copyrighted as such. Unlike the the old way of going to a patenting office and dealing with the problem that way...
