You'll have amazing months, and nothing months.
You are also constantly looking for work, while working. It's not fun.
The upside for me is not having an 1.5 hours commute *each way* to work. I just get up, walk into my studio and do my work (when I have it).
As a side gig of course
I’ve done well at it but I’m in a rural market and the only option. I do better at the sales side than the tech side
@Asatru Artist - MD you do mostly graphic design?
I outsource almost everything
@Asatru Artist - MD what kind of freelance work do you do?
Video Editing, Motion Graphics, Graphic Design @William Russell @JoeDrake
I've been a lead creative video editor and motion graphics artist for political ads, documentaries, etc for the past 17 years.
That’s quite the portfolio
And dabble in graphic design (you've seen some of my work in IE banners/posters/flyers/stickers/etc)
Although those won't go on my portfolio. <:nervous:359009898115104770>
My niche at the moment is personal injury lawyers and realtors. Haha what a shame it’s great work
I've designed a bunch of book covers, brochures, etc over the years as well.
Nice I didn’t realize you were that seasoned. I’m just starting off and figuring things out
My xbox is making noises like it’s on and trying to read a disk but I haven’t touched it in weeks and the light isn’t lit. Spooky
At the Parthenon this morning, good memories
Looks like I missed a great IE After Hours last night
Real parenting sleep schedule sads
@Asatru Artist - MD man I’m working on a book right now I might be able to use you
@JoeDrake I would love to do another book cover or whatever else you need.

@William Russell That was the best line. Chad af
If you don’t attend the upcoming National Conference you’re missing out
I won’t be missing it for anything. Hope all of you feel the same, because it’ll be very important and awesome
Is there a server for LOPF2 yet? I paid for a ticket.
I wish I could come.
Next paycheck we start saving for it. This is gonna be one well-traveled baby.
@DCViking Not sure I think there may be one. you may need to dm someone
@missliterallywho Our baby is due Jan 7th. When did you start traveling with yours?
Thanks @William Russell
@William Russell Congrats! We drove 1300 from CA to MT when he was 4 weeks old.
I felt pretty recovered after about 2 and a half weeks
@missliterallywho haha that puts me at ease about traveling with ours.
Would love to have a baby meetup at the conference 👶 👶 👶
Gotta stop pretty often driving with a baby but it's doable
@missliterallywho She was on the fence about bringing her. She wants to come but didn’t want to leave the baby. I think she’s prolly just a little protectionist, which is fine of course, this is our first. It’s not real to me quite yet
