Ok, I am formally trained in interior design. I'm trying to start my own business as a freelance designer. To say things are slow is an understatement.

I am trying to supplement my design work (or my current lack of design work) through pencil portraits of animals. Here's two I just did (so you can all see what I do)




And now I am so utterly excited about my Petco interview today! Let just say that art and design are not two things the old Pennsylvania Dutch cheapskates in my area will spend money for. I'm also *hoping* that if I get the Petco job that they'll let me distribute brochures of my portraits to people that come into Petco.

If I had it all to do again? I would have listened to my parents and gone into graphc design instead of interior design, since I have a skill that is utterly useless out here. At least they occasiobnally have opening for graphic designers in the area.

Or if I could name my dream job? I would LOVE to open up a cat hotel (or cattery) in my house. Just take care of cats and get paid for it!

Sorry to go off on this long-winded post! Its just that right now, my job and what I want to do with my life is really up in the air and in question for me!
Kim, how beautiful! You have a right to be long-winded with artwork as nice as this!
