Last week I picked up application forms for my apartment building, and today I set up a meeting to view a unit on Thursday on my lunch hour. Things are starting to move, and I'm starting to get nervous, as I've never lived alone before. The apartment building I'm applying for has a 2 year stay limit, which kind of works out because awhile ago I made a promise to myself if in 2 years I'm still working the same job, doing the same thing, and havnt taken the 'next step' with my artwork (i.e. making much more money off it than I am now, whatever it my be) then I'm moving out of country anyways, either to the US, someplace where I'll have much easier access to comic industries and cons, so it wont be as impossible to break in as it is here in Canada, or to teach english in Japan. I just dont want to be doing the same thing in 2 years. Maybe by 2 years I'll have changed my mind, see if all my friends and family are still here, if I've found another job that pays better but still has loose hours, and how life is in general...
I'll be finishing up a commish today for a Dr. which will net me 500$. The good thing about being an artist is the money you make through clients dosent get raped by taxes, what you see is what you get. FINDING clients is another story tho. He wants me for additional projects but they are all way, WAY over my head. We're talking stuff that even pro's would find tricky. I still havnt told him that I'm not capeable of them yet. I'll do it when I send an invoice for the current commish.
Other than that life has been pretty cut and dry.
