Should have kept the mustache, i hear the adult entertainment industry pays well, if your male at least. Aw haw haw haw.
Hmmm... Your story as inspirtational as it is, it may not really be a guide or something that is possbile to follow, because some of the things that happened to you were based on luck.
Anyways, I'm glad you are doing well economicaly
After some of the not so great stuff ive been through i dont know if luck really had anything to do with it.
p.s. it could not be luck and im entirely wrong but meh.
That was really insightful man. This is a good read.
a good read gerki,
This is exactly what I want to hear right now, gj.
It was pretty ballsy to go to the top o this warehouse job and say YO I MAKE WEB ADVERTISEMENTS INCASE YOU DIDN'T KNOW. I never woulda done that.
Working alone allways sounds so sad to me though :/
I quite like working alone, i get to wear headphones and listen to whatever i like.
I agree with Egoraptor and Mindchamber; This is insightful. However, you might want to proofread it when you get the chance. I look forward to more of your original cartoons.
I was in a bit of a hurry :(
You could have shortened this to one sentence; Do what you love and the money will follow.
Actually I think I wanna add something to this, while I agree this is an excellent way to make some cash, I dont agree that adding ads to your flashes or making parodies is selling yourself short. whether you are working for a company, a userbase or an individual, you are still selling yourself, and one way to make money shouldn't be be considered less more more demeaning than the other. Besides its YOUR ads we have on our games that you find so appalling.
so in short this is what works for you, and we definitely appreciate you showing us what works for you. but in the in end doing what makes you happy AND what works for you is fine no matter what.
Im not saying that there is anything wrong with flash ads, its more that there seems to be allot of people that don't see the bigger picture and don't look at alternatives. Id put in ads myself if i thought my cartoons would become popular, just for added pocket money.
Your 'Telescope' heading is seriously hot.
Also you're right about being able to get flash work no matter where you live. I get all my jobs, and carry them out, from this rickety old computer in rural Tasmania. Which outside of the internet has as few uses for an animator as... urban Tasmania.
Work is where you find it, which in this age of the internet, should be everywhere.
No Nosebleed section?

Eh I'm doing pretty well off flash ads, though I don't plan on doing that forever.
Probably move onto making games for iphone or DS once I'm finished school, or maybe some other software engineering job if it ain't too boring.

Yeh, i wouldn't mind getting into game development, except i cant code... :(
