I’m More Or Less Satisfied With This, But This Ultimately Demonstrated A Huge Problem In Graphic Design.

I’m more or less satisfied with this, but this ultimately demonstrated a huge problem in graphic design. Specifically, when you find a really good font, but you have to either pay money or contact someone to use it for commercial use.

I say this because the left one is completely freeware fonts (Milkshake + Ostrich Sans), but the right one uses Blacksword, which is only free for personal use. I COULD do my own handlettering, but that’s time consuming on my end, and I want to turn this into a card ASAP...so in terms of my time, that’s not an option.

I’m kinda sad that I can’t commercially use the right one at this time. At least I have a cute corgi in a bowtie staring at me to reassure me that it’s all gonna be ok.

(And for the record, I am aware that you cannot actually give alcohol to doggos. Truffles had no wine, and the wine is only there as a photoshoot prop. My roommate drank the wine later. Truffles got to have a couple of crackers, though.)

Oh snap. I just realized that the icon client has Pepsi colors because I'm trying to avoid IKEA colors.

Crap.

I felt like my headphone cords draped around my head would make a neat aesthetic. I was right. Also, I like my face.

I officially have two finished webcomic pages now! I’m pretty happy about this development.

Also, my attempt at playing Passpartout was pretty fun, although I was sad that my favorite doodle of them all didn’t sell in the game. Oh well.

Oh Boo Hoo! I Didn't Translate The List In The Exact Same Order! I'm Kinda Mad About DuoLingo Being Picky

Oh boo hoo! I didn't translate the list in the exact same order! I'm kinda mad about DuoLingo being picky about things! I know that it's probably some sort of weird function involving an <ol> tag somewhere, but it's like...why do I have to get penalized about "pen and pencil" as opposed to "pencil and pen"?

>tfw you’re writing a rough draft for something and it actually alludes to the fact that coffee beans might be extinct or absurdly rare by 2080—ergo, coffee would be an extremely expensive black market luxury at the rate we’re going at.

In Love With Love, 2018

In Love with Love, 2018

I’ve finally decided to finish this stupid thing after keeping it on hold for about five years—and loving someone not for the person, but because you desperately want to be loved seems like such a terrible thing to make an illustration about, but I finally finished it.

As a piece of advice to anyone who ever gets involved with clients from hell that attempt to stiff you on art work, design work, etc that I wish I had learned sooner instead of assuming that being too poor to afford copyright attorneys I know meant that I had to sit here and accept design theft...

...in the United States, you can take the aforementioned non-compliant client to small claims court, assuming it falls under that threshold. Different states have different thresholds for what constitutes a small claim, but overall, it should cover most artists on Tumblr. (I say this because even at my historic design rates and the extent of work I did, I manage to fall under Florida's $5000 threshold.)

Of course, I'm in this situation currently, so that's why I bring this up. Essentially, I wish someone told me that I didn't need an attorney while working as a lower-tier designer sooner.

Things I should have done in the past 12 hours; sleep.

Things I did in the past 12 hours; worked on something that’s still not done, but oh boy, do I really like fiddling around with halftones to make a minimalistic a e s t h e t i c design composition I wanted to do for a while.

Also, this has been my jam for this. No lie.
