You'll have amazing months, and nothing months.

2018-11-17 17:12:28 UTC  

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).

2018-11-17 17:12:28 UTC  

As a side gig of course

2018-11-17 17:13:30 UTC  

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

2018-11-17 17:16:41 UTC  

@Asatru Artist - MD you do mostly graphic design?

2018-11-17 17:19:02 UTC  

I outsource almost everything

2018-11-17 17:21:06 UTC  

@Asatru Artist - MD what kind of freelance work do you do?

2018-11-17 17:22:20 UTC  

Video Editing, Motion Graphics, Graphic Design @William Russell @JoeDrake

2018-11-17 17:24:50 UTC  

I've been a lead creative video editor and motion graphics artist for political ads, documentaries, etc for the past 17 years.

2018-11-17 17:25:29 UTC  

That’s quite the portfolio

2018-11-17 17:25:37 UTC  

And dabble in graphic design (you've seen some of my work in IE banners/posters/flyers/stickers/etc)

2018-11-17 17:25:54 UTC  

Although those won't go on my portfolio. <:nervous:359009898115104770>

2018-11-17 17:26:27 UTC  

My niche at the moment is personal injury lawyers and realtors. Haha what a shame it’s great work

2018-11-17 17:26:31 UTC  

I've designed a bunch of book covers, brochures, etc over the years as well.

2018-11-17 17:27:16 UTC  

Nice I didn’t realize you were that seasoned. I’m just starting off and figuring things out

2018-11-17 17:28:30 UTC  

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

2018-11-17 17:29:04 UTC  

At the Parthenon this morning, good memories

2018-11-17 17:30:37 UTC  

Looks like I missed a great IE After Hours last night

2018-11-17 17:31:05 UTC  

Real parenting sleep schedule sads

2018-11-17 17:31:57 UTC  

@Asatru Artist - MD man I’m working on a book right now I might be able to use you

2018-11-17 17:32:28 UTC  

@JoeDrake I would love to do another book cover or whatever else you need.

@William Russell That was the best line. Chad af

2018-11-17 17:35:36 UTC  

If you don’t attend the upcoming National Conference you’re missing out

2018-11-17 17:37:50 UTC  

I won’t be missing it for anything. Hope all of you feel the same, because it’ll be very important and awesome

2018-11-17 17:38:53 UTC  

Is there a server for LOPF2 yet? I paid for a ticket.

2018-11-17 17:51:14 UTC  

I wish I could come.

2018-11-17 17:57:53 UTC  

Next paycheck we start saving for it. This is gonna be one well-traveled baby.

2018-11-17 17:59:12 UTC  

@DCViking Not sure I think there may be one. you may need to dm someone

2018-11-17 17:59:46 UTC  

@missliterallywho Our baby is due Jan 7th. When did you start traveling with yours?

@Ald Every stereotype in one diagram.

2018-11-17 18:07:56 UTC  

@William Russell Congrats! We drove 1300 from CA to MT when he was 4 weeks old.

2018-11-17 18:08:17 UTC  

I felt pretty recovered after about 2 and a half weeks

2018-11-17 18:09:16 UTC  

@missliterallywho haha that puts me at ease about traveling with ours.

2018-11-17 18:09:31 UTC  

Would love to have a baby meetup at the conference 👶 👶 👶

2018-11-17 18:10:16 UTC  

Gotta stop pretty often driving with a baby but it's doable

2018-11-17 18:14:01 UTC  

@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
