Hi all:hula:

I’m a self taught freelance storyboard artist for advertising in his fifth year of struggle in an industry that no longer bothers to train or groom anyone like it used to. In this field you are on your own and there is little to guide you in skills acquisition and finding connections. It’s the fuzziest of fuzzy edged jobs.

I always meet deadlines (They are short and brutal) and work pretty much every hour of the day I have available to me at improving my skills and speed.

The only thing is I have trouble guiding myself to the best thing to do at any given time and also have real trouble finishing personal projects. Once the motivation of money goes away my work intensity drops off and I start to follow every impulse I have. I never have completely finished a project done strictly for myself. I will start innumerable things but rebel at finishing. Some of the problem I have is frustration about my inadequate skills and some is boredom.

Lately the need to pay attention to personal projects as a way to open doors for me to both make more money and fulfill myself creatively has become acute. The passing of my father, the birth of my only child, and turning 50 have brought me up from my youthful reverie rather rudely.

So I’m coming here to hopefully learn to get my crap together.

Can anyone point me at anything helpful?:hula:

Try this. Post in a normal fucking font so that people don't have to kill their eyes reading it.

You could have phrased that a little "fucking" nicer ya know. :(

It would be a little easier to read in a different color and maybe you shouldn't italicize it.

Wish I had some advice for you, but I'm afraid I'm kinda the same way....and money isn't even my motivator. I've been suppose to have finished a project that I need done by next weekend....for my mom's 70th birthday, but I haven't even started on it yet :( Now, I'm gonna have to work my butt off this weekend just to make sure I get it done and I've had most of the year to do it. Oh well....such is life.

Nappy...I see the mods put this one in here just for you, so I'll go ahead and use it here and now. :worship:

That was really hard to read, stopped after the first line...

why do people get rude............to new people on here,



we all should be nice to them...........their always nice to you

You were right to be rude. Nefrit was banned for being a spammer with multiple identities registered on here. All of them banned:

DENAR, Joel980, MAXIMUM, Nefrit, POINT8, and RENE22.

All of them phonies, and all of them looking to sell you something through the links in the user profiles.

Bad, bad spammers!!
:mad:

the line through the name and "permabanned"under their name kind of gave it away
