Doodling up ideas for Midwest Furfest. I like jobs like this. Nobody wants anything specific, they just want you to do Stuff. In your style. On maybe a particular theme. And this makes me happy.

I am beginning to get a nagging suspicion--which I shove firmly back into the closet whenever it oozes out from under the door--that I don't want to do freelance illustration for a living...I wanna do my own stuff, and sell it, and have people buy it. This is something of a change for me--for many years, my highest ambition was to be a freelancer who worked on art for big companies. I don't know quite how I feel about it.

However, since it'll be a long time until I can do that, my short-term goals have not changed significantly--I still want to work on art for big companies (which would neccessitate sending out another set of mailing here soon..) that's just not my highest ambition anymore.

Then again, I suppose anyone who's ambitions stay the same from eighteen through the rest of their life probably has problems anyhow.
