Sorry mate, believe me I dont take complements lightly...it was either do the business side thing or write 3-4 , lines on how much your praise means to me..!
seriously though,...being a commercial artist is like having a split personality...it MUST come from the heart for me, or the piece just dosent work, (this does not include other work like corporate pieces, or other naff jobs
hahaaha
but Im sure this makes sense to the other artists who make their living at what they do. Theres a time to be sensitive and a time to be shrewd, and sometimes I automatically go into the negotiation mode, because if i dont get the job, I dont eat. But I sometimes feel like if I show true nature, concering my work, Ill get walked on. Ive got it down pat, in that I produce continuously, and then I can go right away and call the publisher or whomever and negotiate..
sometimes its a double edged sword.....which is exactly what Id like to go along with thon armour! yeeha.
