I guess this can go either way: what do you do and what do you want to do?
I airbrush paint when I'm not chopping, and I hope to get into graphic novels. I sort of stumbled on this site trying to learn PhotoShop and a site referred +e here as a way to make money with PhotoShop ( Laughing ) what do you all do and what would you rather be doing?

I used to upholster, but i retired from that at 32, went into E-commerce.

now I wanna retire from that, and win the lottery.. basically, as long as my bills are paid, I no longer care as long as I dont have to punch in at someone else's company

I donate a drop of blood once a month to pharmaceutical companies. Apparently they water it down and make ten 55 gallon drums of Viagra Concentrate out of it. Razz Very Happy

I'm a quality control technician for a large uk company that prints photos and makes all kinds of photo related gift products.
But I always wanted to get into graphic design for computer games. Smile

Hi

I sell industrial products ( pipe/valves ), however I am looking for a nymphomaniac coke connection with a Ferrari dealership. No experience necessary. Laughing

If I get it I'll be calling Gravyboat for a transfusion. Twisted Evil

I was a stay at home mom to my four kids, but hubby got laid off and plans changed. I am back at work now as a very busy secretary and hubby stays home with the kids.

I am also a full time student (was marketing, but starting next semester, will be Professional Writing)

I would love to be in advertising, web-media design, graphics design.

I can't find an online school that handles that, so I am just plugging away on my own having fun with it on the side.

I'm currently not able to work due to illness but I'm trained in early years care & education, mentoring & support work, elderly care & retail..... hopefully one of these will come in handy when I'm ready for my return to work!!

For now though I've turned into a bit of a chopping addict & it's going to be that way for a little while I guess.

You could always join Mythbusters with all that robotics knowledge. That's how those guys got into movie special FX!

That's the real point of it. I traded my consistent job that didn't kill my back (stupid back injuries) for a job doing auto body that takes 45 minutes to get to and wont pay consistently just so that I can have the chance to eventually airbrush some stuff on people rigs. My wife and I are 10x happier because of it, even though I probably wont make very much money at it. I'm figuring out that there is always a way to make it work. The people that are actually doing what they want made it happen with very little. Good stuff guys!

I was an airbrush artist. Now, I'm a digital artist. I'll become a painter.
And when I'll be enough old and that I will have a little free time, I will make like gravy... I will give blood. Cool

I illustrated the cereal boxes
I do a lot of illustrations for packaging. I don't set the type usually.
The agencies usually do that.
Vlasic I illustrated the pickles on the jar.
Lysol is photo retouching and montage work
I don't design them I just create artwork for them to use in their ideas.
Cereal boxes I do from rough sketches that they send me.

More illustrations:

Rey,
Well, that explains why you seem to be so damn good at this stuff. How did you end up landing a job like this or is it freelance?
