I hate when people tell me I’m not going to be able to do something. By that I mean something I can do but they say I can’t do it better or that I can’t make it work. I LOVE proving them wrong. I have been told that I was not good enough at drawing to become an animator or get into any kind of professional art job, I practiced hard and long and whoop I am an animator now and actually graduated with a fairly decent grade. I have had only three commissions from companies, all small ones, but it’s a start. I sometimes don’t feel that proud of what I have achieved but when I step back and look at it all…I think it’s a lot more than what most achieve. I know a lot who give up along the way, but I know it’s worth it to stick it out. This is just one of the things that I have been told I wouldn’t make it to or been told it was foolish.

I also get people, from time to time, that just assume I can’t do something. Long time commissioners even will tell me I’m good for cartoon canines and felines only, when it’s obvious I can do much more than just that. That’s one thing that always annoys me is when they don’t even LOOK at my examples. Or I get people who ask for my price list, I link them and then they STILL ask me how much something is and how long it will take when I state all of that in my info. I understand just casual visitors not checking that kind of thing but if someone is truly interested in commissioning me, for cripes sake read my pricing list and TOS and look through my galleries. It’s not that hard to do. You make me happy when you do.

Ok random question of the post… what is one thing that really annoys you??
