New Beginning



So a lot has happened a lot is going to change. For the better? I don't know. SO I went to buffalo and the most amazing Forever 21 Store ever. Did I buy lots? Nuuuuuu-- but I got some bitchin new shoes.

Don't act like you're not impressed. Anyway in all honesty That is all completely irrelevant. I got a job after stressing for months, but not only did I get a job. I got a Fucking Amazing Job. I feel like one of those success posters of the guy leaving the office throwing his fist in the air his pores gushing SUCCESS. Wanna know what it is? Oh I'll tell you :3
So there is this Company called Arvato and their boss bought a company called Trion. Now Trion has an office in Kitchener because they made a game called Rift. Now rift was soo successful that they had to expand their customer service centers all over the woooorld. SO I applied because a friend let me know about it and I got hired as a bilingual GAME MASTER. I'm a Fucking GM.
I had my first day of training and practically jizzed every five minutes.
So thats the upside thats got me reeling, That and the fact I got the apartment situation all under control . Everything has fallen into place save for one thing.
I didn't get into illustration, but here's the hook. I don't care.
I don't I really don't give two flying fucks. I didn't get in I yelled at my portfolio score and said it was complete BS, because it was and then shrugged it off. They gave me such a low score it was absolutely ridiculous. Insulting in fact and I know for a fact that I don't suck. But it makes me wonder if they didn't fuck up because when I went and got my portfolio back they had mixed up my sketchbook. Soooo I just think that it's stupid. I'm probably not going to appeal because honestly right now I'm just concerned with freaking finishing my courses and GTFO. ha
OH OHYEAH

I got my braces off
PEACE

Imma be Rockin it.

Pet-Peeve section 7-4576: Selling Fan Art

So I've been seeing a lot of people sell fan art recently for ridiculous prices. It really gets to me. I mean Here is someone's character that they created and took the time to develop. Since I've had to do it myself I can vouch that normally it takes more than five minutes and you rarely get it right the first time. What I'm getting at essentially is: Fans are stealing this already made character from the original artist and reselling it!

I mean that's got to piss someone off. It's exactly like you make this amazing painting or song, whatever. You do pretty well with it. It gets out there and next thing you know people are duplicating it and making profit off something you labored over, Your sales diminish because nobody is buying the original posters when they can get fan-art for cheaper ect. You would be pissed and to say you wouldn't be irked is a bold faced lie.


I don't know exactly where I'm going with this. Maybe it's just the general frustration with the fact the the term artist is looser that a porn star's vag, and I only realized this after wasting two years of my life and ten grad trying to make it fit.

Or the fact that the concept of originality is so far gone that there is nothing left and I feel myself shrinking in size in the world of trend following Zombies (not saying I'm not one of them)


I don't fucking know. All I do know is I fucking hate fan art. And fuck you guys for not being able to create on your own work and need to make profit off others. Get fucked
