Shiiiiit....

I feel like poo. My doc increased my Lamictal from 200 to 600 for my recent anger flares. It's done its job at keeping me from committing capital murder but it's also destroyed my motivation and I feel so tired all day, I've been sleeping 15+ hours daily. On top of it all my computer is at the end of the line and keeps shutting down abruptly/freezing. Thankfully I've saved up a bit of cash and with the help of my family I'm getting a new HP ENVY 23-d260qd TouchSmart All-in-One Desktop PC and hopefully now my CS6 will run smoothly since my current laptop's GPU is not even compatible with PS or AFX...

What grinds my gears

You know what I hate to hear from people?
"I could have done this in half an hour" or "Nobody is gonna notice that"
I WILL FUCKING NOTICE!
I will see it.
I have standards, I care about my work and it's quality.
So what if it takes me 15 minutes to figure out the angle and rate of change on a gradient that will be set at 25% opacity. Maybe the person I'm making it for won't notice it, but I do. I don't just make my art for other people; I just recently started doing coms. Back in the days that I used to make only traditional art, I would shove them in a folder. Sure, I would show it to some other artists, but that was not the point. The point was to take them out every once in a while and enjoy looking at my creations.
It is stupid not to have aspirations, and sad. Doing 'just enough'. That's what's wrong with the people in this country. The apathy and laziness. Complaining why everything sucks on their facebook wall, while they contribute to the problem in whatever they happen to do. My uncle gave advice on how to go through life based on what he did in the Navy. If they asked him to sweep the deck, he would sweep it, mop it, and detail the corners. If everyone did that, if people had principles and ethics all the shit they complain about would be solved.
Don't ask ME to settle, or to do 'just enough". I may not be a doctor or a lawyer, or a politician, but goddamn I'm gonna make the best art that I can. I will do my part, even if it's only a small one.

I want to take a moment to thank everyone on Deviantart that uploads the Illustrator brushes in .ai format instead of annoying .rar and .zip files. You guys rock!
