( freelance )

The tech support house call went ok and I wrapped up a small delivery job this morning. I decided to stay in Manhattan in case any other jobs came up, and spent the day working out of a starbucks and the b&n in usq. I also spent some time checking out the art and design section of the bookstore and found a few titles I plant to search for at the ( Read more... )

I've also been answering direct ads ( Read more... )

I spent a few hours at the library today working on my sales pitch while waiting to get the name and address of the company. I'm done, so I may even have time to draw this evening. I did another of Glen Keane' ( Read more... )

I got drawing time in early today. I also have a couple of others I've worked on this week. I've also been googling for an explanation of STDIN that makes sense to me, and until I do, I'm stuck on exercise 13 of the ruby book a technical writer published online. I also started artist research this morning for a cover for the magazine. I've seen one ( Read more... )
