I am not original!

Lately I have been feeling protective of some of the things that I have been making. Mainly 'coz I spend a lot of time doing what it is that I do - albeit the monetary gain is yet to be felt.

Perhaps there is no financial gain from the endeavors that I'm pursuing. But I know this is not true. I have decided that I should feel free to post the things I create 'coz I am adding to the already saturated field of creative stuff out there. I was watching Naruto, and came to the realisation that I am only able to do what I am 'coz of the generosity of others. Of their knowledge and a plethora of stuff that I've scavenged and sponged off of.

So if I can help anyone or - lol - inspire... I am cool with it. The enemy I have identified however is the client. Those bastards have no respect! They have no idea what it takes to get it done and I think I am going to demand it from here on in. Pay up u silly'atches!

We live in a world full of evidence of our own inadequacy. All around me I see things that people have made that are beyond my abilities to replicate. Cars - paint - computer hardrives and so on. We are reliant on each other for all the things we have around us. I have no interest in learning how to make Indian Ink for example - but I consume a lot of things - which I'm prepared to PAY for.

So why am I not getting paid for things that other people can not do - yet want?

I am swimming in an ocean of debt and I swore to myself that I wouldn't ever do that - where did I go wrong?

I'll figure it out but for now - getting my affairs in order comes first. I am still struggling with the damn forms - Now that I've figured out the last thing which was to input multi-line text in a field in the editable PDF I was making I now have to figure out how I can receive these forms digitally. So we can minimize paper consumption.

Here is what the damn thing looks like & I started doing this on Monday and I pretty much finished the forms in word and illustrator only to find out that I needed pro for the kinda form I was hoping to make.
