The power of one
After a discussion with Andrew. One thing can change a person's life, one sketch , one drawing, one painting, one project can make a career.
Actors or musicians, one performance can make them into a superstar. On the other hand one performance can also ruin a career. But its also possible to make a comeback. One year, one month, one week can make a difference.
Best is even after one great song the artist has another and another, consistency of talent is valuable.
one joke , or one hello can start a new relationship,
one accident can change a whole life,
one chance meeting in an elevator or random location can change the direction of your life.
Anything is possible...what you think about most is what you will become, is what will happen.

Title
note to self- learn how to tighten up, self assignment...extremely tight and clean digital rendering, try using photoshop, and try a different brush,, also try doing a speedform in digital media. same process as traditional, thumbs rough lines, tight lines, markers hard values, airbrush like chalk, highlights and details.
Paint the ballerina and submit to ballistic
note to self 2- Talk to scott, talk to sv Kim 930-1130, talk to frido, andy. Take advantage of all the good instructors i have here.
Start researching freelance projects. Keep researching having my own firm and brand...like dyson, ross lovegrove, colani, starck, gehry...
getting a product to market, developing my own design philosophy.
