With agency work, individuals are not recognized. The agency is. So yeah, it’s money. But I think that’s why so many of the creative peeps do other things on the side – to keep the creative juices flowing and have some fun with it. And I like bragging about them too. ;)

Aren’t they cool! I was surprised – which I have no idea why I was – when he brought them to work. Very cool tees.
I like Etsy but have problems searching. And I understand why prices are the way they are, but it bums me out too.

I agree with the previous comment. Keep on keeping on, if it makes you happy. There are people that have lost the love of their creative side because it has become their JOB, that thing you dread to wake up in the morning for. Anyway, I really liked ume dream. Those shirts are rad. I am a huge fan of shirts like those. Etsy is like my favorite online store by the way. lol.

What makes me want to throw up is that people make money for their creativity. I know money is not the end all and be all but it kinda boosts your confidence a tad when people are willing to shell out some dough for whatever it is you created. Or maybe it’s not even about money, maybe being noticed or recognized is enough. But it still is pretty darn hard to get out there and be noticed. Maybe it’s finding your own niche, your own thing that you’re brilliant with and to just do it and do it the best that you can. But at the end of the day, like you said, it boils down whether you like what you do or not. So keep on building those spreadsheets!! :-) And keep on taking photos!!
