Design Foolishness: Spec work
I have to admit I laughed crazy hard at this video when I saw it the first time and had just about the same reaction to it when I just re-watched it. Why, as designers and creatives, do we not value our time (the building blocks of our lives)? Why don't I value the creative talent and ability God's given? There's no way I would ask anyone to offer their services for free but I'm asked on a regular basis to do design for free or for crazy low rates. When will I do better?

Found a pattern for a simple bear on pinterst - decided to do one of them yesterday evening. It didn't take long and I think it turned out ok. What do you think? I'm not crazy about the shape of the arms - am going to make those a little different next time. I enjoyed doing it so much that I think I'm going to re-purpose those millions of old shirts into cute little plush dolls I can send with our church members when they go on various mission trips. And I should have enough left to put into an Operation Christmas Child box or two this fall.
The original sketch for "Hang a Star". I love to draw snowmen and little animals in scenes. Here's the completed illustration - colored digitally in photoshop.
I'm so excited to share that I'm fast working towards having AI narrated books available for those of you who prefer to listen to books. They will be available through Google Play to begin with. I haven't decided where else I'll be making them available. Here's the first one. Books one and two will be available starting January 31, 2023.
