However, if I had the knowlege I have now when I was 18 and gowing to art school, I would have chosen to stick to painting. Not only that, but I would have found a successful mentor and sucked everything I could out of his brain on how to not only be a good artist, but how to make a good living at it too. No matter what you do, you still have to thrive and grow, trying to prepare for that retirement day.

My point being, if you really don’t like the architecture game, give yourself an appropriate amount of time to figure out what it is you want to do. Then find out who can teach you how to do it well. But make the move while you are young and your lifestyle more flexible.

Thank you for your comment and sharing the story about your friend. I will think about the possibilities of a small side job like you mentioned above. Or something in the same direction. Cheers.

Its tough being in a field that requires creativity. There is always someone better than you – tough competition. And if you just say “screw it, im going to do what makes me happy”, you go broke.

Ya know, ive seen my friends stuff, her work.. and i see yours.
I think yours is better!!! shhhhh!

How about making cards or postcards. Just for the heck of it.
I see them all around coffee shops and touristy places.

I really do like your work and from what ive seen, the stlye on this blog.. i think it would work.

~good luck!
