Ever thought of giving up on all your artwork and choose another path of life? O_o. Trancie major break down, im thinkin of giving up on all my arts and stuff.

Agreed. Except I would've gone with that (> dat).

I design solely as a means to pass time. To have fun and express creativity. Schoolwork and such doesn't really allow me, so I definitely view it as an outlet for a number of things. I actually would call it "fun" in many regards. Nothing can really compete with 03 AM Photoshop + iTunes sessions. Apologies for however nerdy that may sound, but oh... I love scenario dearly.

I do get the whole "whoa - Zen" aspect of this thread, xDoofus. I think it's more so the shift in passtime/career/interest that's so interesting. Like being a telemarketer for 10 years, and then suddenly taking up professional skydiving. It's a complete turn-around: you're cleansing habits and former lifestyles, and essentially "becoming a new person". More power to you, if that's where you're at in life. But speaking solely for myself, I do graphic and design just for kicks, and nothing else. It also keeps me from going out and getting smashed on weekends, smoking pot, and all the other jazz cool-kids my age get into. That said, I just don't see myself giving it up anytime soon.
