Kieran 2.0: Day 16

Okay everyone, I had some stuff happen that changed my outlook about things. I've been a little down on myself lately, it just seems like nothing is really working out, I'm still in my dead end job, I still have a ton of debt and things with finding a real job in my field aren't going completely great. I'm feeling like things may change soon though. The other day I e-mailed an alum from Ai who graduated and is working at RockStar games in New York.

I really needed something to give me some hope because it's hard to find success stories from the Art Institute. I just really wanted to know what I could do to be better and also what someone in the professional world thought of my work. He really put my mind at ease because he gave me some very good feedback, something that you don't often get from some people at Ai.

I've also been referred to someone by a friend of mine to design a website. I'm hoping that it works out because this job could hopefully open me up to a bunch of new opportunities. I really need something to come my way because I'm not getting any younger and time is really flying by. It's already half way through January which means that this blog is already 1/24th of the way through.

I've been drawing a lot lately and I've been trying to draw things that I'm not use to. Last night I drew Spider-Man and Venom and a few nights before I drew Wolverine but I've been trying to draw actual comic book style instead of my usual cartoony style. I've also been sketching with an actual pencil rather than a Wacom stylus!!! I'm trying to switch up my style and not be so safe. I want to be as good as I can be and I want to be something. I'm sick of riding a train into work everyday and taking shit from people at work or on Septa. I want success and I know I have to go out and get it for myself but I just wish I could just find it now. I'm going to go do some drawing and then hit the hay. I have an early morning tomorrow. Good night everyone and I'll see you all tomorrow.
