By now you all know I’ll be applying for a Master’s Degree in The Guildhall.
Well, aside from the endless paperwork and financial rape, I’ll be required to submit a portfolio, with no less than TWELVE hand drawn sketches, which I intend to finish before March gets here.
Why am I bringing this up?
The title says it all. From this moment on I WILL NO LONGER BE DOING ANY PRO BONO OR FREELANCE GRAPHIC DESIGN OF ANY KIND unless really necessary (and by necessary I mean work related to the websites I’ve created and maintain with DS).
The reason I decided to do this is because I seriously need to focus more on this project, as it is a very important part of a giant step I will take regarding my future as an artist.
I know I still owe some stuff to a handful of people, like logos and website layouts and whatnot, and I apologize for temporarily closing shop on all of you all of a sudden, but If I get sidelined with extra stuff and get distracted from my goal, I could lose the chance to realize one of my immediate dreams, and that is something that NO ONE can fuck with, regardless of who it is.
I’m aware my decision seems kinda douchey and inconsiderate, especially if any of you were expecting to ask me for any sort of work or collaboration, but I have to do this out of necessity. I am easily distracted and any small thing that detracts me from my goal can steal a few hours or days that could prove crucial for the timely completion of that portfolio. I want to be an early bird, and not take any chances of being left behind because of tardiness.
I’ve only completed six drawings so far, but being the overachieving little bitch that I am, I plan on doing as many pieces as possible, maybe 15 or 20. Depends on how far I get once March starts.
Don’t worry, I’ll scan and display all the pieces once the thing is completed. Sadly they don’t return any portfolio submissions, which sucks massive quantities. I don’t care, as long as I get in.
So there you have it. As of today, DO NOT ask me to do anything for you. I will ignore you and shun you as if you were a giant talking vagina.
Until I get that letter of acceptance, I am no longer accountable or dependable.
Well, I’m off to finish yet another piece, wish me luck.
When someone ask for something on messenger redirect that person to this post without saying anything else.
by darksoul February 11th, 2008 at 8:24 amBueno, considerando tu posición actual, como la presentas en este artículo, pues te agradezco inmensamente la obra de arte que tú y DS han terminado recientemente con la nueva versión de El Monasterio, o como Darkie le dice, El Monasterio 2.0. El diseño en el heading está repleto de sutilezas preciosas. Cada una de los headings que has hecho para El Monasterio te han quedado cabrones, pero este en especial es como una cajita china, la cual tiene otra cajita china adentro, la cual tiene otra cajita china dentro, etc. ad nauseum. Los simbolismos son sencillos, y sin embargo, profundos and in your face.
Si te hace falta alguna comisión como incentivo para uno de tus dibujos, déjame saber. Tengo par de entheogenically-induced bad trips que se verían interesantes plasmados en papel.
by Estanislao de Mediolao February 11th, 2008 at 10:49 amTu oferta suena buena, pero lamentablemente las piezas para el portafolio tienen que caer dentro de unos renglones que ellos ya tienen establecidos, así que no puedo darme muchas libertades, por lo menos en el sketchbook.
