Much better at finding errors than producing error-free work....should there be such a thing in design. Is perfection obtainable? With me as your art director, always. 87831 Post 2009-10-13T14:21:14-04:00 2835601 44251 2009-10-13T14:21:14-04:00 i'd like to keep doing this for as long as possible. been doing this for a while, around 6-7 years, but I still love it. sure, i get burnt out on some projects, but it is a great time, over all. getting paid to do shirts for bands i love - can't beat that. i think part of my tolerance comes from the fact that i work on other projects to break things up (web projects, custom goods, album art, etc). 87831 Post 2009-10-13T14:37:26-04:00 2835961 178 2009-10-13T14:37:26-04:00 I barely design tee shirts now. 87831 Post 2009-10-13T15:19:12-04:00 2836501 664 2009-10-13T15:19:12-04:00 <blockquote><cite>justgeoff said:</cite> <blockquote><cite>collisiontheory said:</cite> <blockquote><cite>justgeoff said:</cite> Nah, just using it as a springboard.
