Work has really been taking off for me in the past few months. I've gotten a great response to my updated website: www.flashpotatos.com
For anyone out there looking for work (especially in this field), I highly recommend posting a resume on craigslist.com. I tried Monster, Career Builder, and several other internet job search sites with absolutely no response (except for a lot of junk mail, and phone calls from people who couldn't take 2 seconds to review my resume and were asking me about jobs in sales and other crap like that.) Craigslist WORKS!! Try it today! It's free and there're no strings attached!
Flashpotatoes LLC is now a legal entity. I am currently doing very well as a Freelance artist and I'm working on starting some internet businesses that will be sub-LLCs of Flashpotatoes. If all goes well, I will be looking to hire artists and animators sometime in the future. I'm All-American, so I would be hiring as many American artists as possible and trying to help our economy and this great industry.
To all the struggling artists out there. Don't give up on your dreams! The world needs artists just as much as it needs doctors. Don't let anyone stomp out your dreams.
"You got a dream, you gotta protect it. People can't do something themselves, they wanna tell you that you can't do it. You want something? Go get it. Period."
"Don't ever let someone tell you, you can't do something. Not even me."
These quotes are from the movie "The Pursuit of Happyness." Excellent movie! Go rent or buy it if you haven't seen it already.
I came pretty close to pursuing other work a few months ago, when things weren't going well for me. I am fortunate to have an excellent wife that encouraged me on through that difficult time and made the rent. I recently went to see this movie and it has furthered my ambitions to never give up on my dreams. I'm even writing a book that I hope will be able to help a lot of people out there.
