my own bossman


Working for myself has been wonderful really. I'm a pretty discplined person, for the most part, which helps. I enjoy the biz aspects of the job too. Invoicing is only challenging when you accidentally send all -- ALL! of your invoices to two of your clients. Nice. I've been getting excited about marketing too. Who could benefit from my services? who needs design and communications and guidance? Identifying audiences and figuring out how to advertise to them.
and when I'm not doing billable work I work on fun projects like the onesie above. Or this one



Or this illustration:


Soon to be on greeting cards and prints. I'm really feeling creatively inspired, which has been missing for a long time.

Or on slow days, when I'm feeling totally oppressed by the desk, I leave. yep. I walk out of the door and go do something else. bliss to be able to walk away from unproductivity instead of being forced to sit somewhere and pretend to be busy. bleck. viva la revolution!
