coldslither: Aw man, that sucks. But you'll get it right next time, figure out what went wrong. You're a smart guy.

Wish I could say I spent all day napping and binging Voltron but I'm on the third recolor for this client. Apparently "you know, like, ocean blue" is supposed to be specific enough for me to invent an entire color palette. So far we've tried Mediterranean blue and Caribbean blue

I've given up on artistic integrity and am just going for "that lighthouse towel that's in every soccer mom's guest bathroom" at this point

What are you working on? Big deadline?

bluefish: Anyone who tries to say 'ocean blue' is one color is an idiot. One day I'm just going to buy up all your slots and give you a bunch of really awesome commissions.

Think of it as like karma.

And it's not a big deal. It's just a theoretical I was trying to work out. It's not even on the clock.

coldslither: He is an idiot,but he's an idiot with money. And if I want to save up enough to not still live with my parents this decade...you know.

Don't tease me like that, it's hard enough doing this without hope ;) no chance your job pays you enough to be my patron like ye olde artistes? I mean if you're working on stuff off the clock...

bluefish: Not me, but I know Josh's dad does art stuff. Do you want me to let him see some of your work?

[coldslither]

coldslither: oh. God, uh, that's

I mean you've seen some of my stuff, you know my style. i mean, I can do other stuff but idk, you think this is really--dad stuff? Dad level stuff?

[fishboyblue]

bluefish: He does all kinds of stuff. And his other dad does kid's books so maybe one of them will see something they like.

[coldslither]

coldslither: Then uh, yeah, I guess! I mean yes. Please. Thank you?

I can email you my portfolio. I keep meaning to get a website up for real, something that isn't just a Tumblr of stupid shit but I guess I'm too lazy. It's pretty much winter, I just want to hibernate

Probably not literally, but you never know

[fishboyblue]

bluefish: Don't thank me until you actually get something from it. I'm just giving your awesome a chance.

And if you give me the pictures, I can help with the website. I'm not bad at those.

[coldslither]

coldslither: You, sir, are awesome. But if you help me build a website too, I feel like I'll have to start paying you, and right now all I've got to offer is my theoretical mad art skills.

[fishboyblue]

bluefish: No, I'll have to pay YOU for giving me something fun to focus on instead of work.

[coldslither]

coldslither: I mean, hey, who am I to not take advantage--I mean, help out a friend who needs a fun project? Haha

Seriously though, is it really that bad lately? Seems like you've had a lot on your mind lately.

[fishboyblue]

bluefish: I've making the right amount of progress and everything but I feel stuck. It's probably just me being stupid about myself.
