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?

Then there's this guy: Chris Do... talk about a person who knows how to think/talk/reason. Wish I could do that on the fly.

I've been watching a lot of Ace of Clay on Youtube recently and really wanted to try some of his techniques but I wasn't at home that day. Dad has some super soft stanky clay that he uses to work out some of his carvings and so I got into that this week. Maybe it's time to pull out my sculpture stuff again. Really do miss it - I enjoy that more than I do writing or drawing or... probably even eating LOL Anyway... this clay was really soft stuff and it was hard to keep from smashing it or doing any real detail work - I mean, look at those ears HA!
Proofs with the two I liked most at the top... This is the one she chose - definitely my favorite - although she chose the one with the sewing machine for a larger sign she was going to do cut vinyl for. I'm looking forward to seeing these in action. A talented friend asked me to help her with some designs for craft bag tags. If you're interested in seeing some of her side-hustle goods, check out her facebook page .
