This morning I left out the house slightly later than usual. I had to catch a cab to the next light rail station to ensure that I would be on time for work. The cab driver I eventually flagged down told me that he saw me often times on the bus stop in th morning. He was a foreigner. I think he might have been from Somali. I say this because I used to work with someone from Somali and his accent sounded similar to that person’s. Despite the morning’s set back I made it to work on time.

This morning while on the light rail train I was drawing as usual. As I was drawing, this man, interrupted me and asked if I would do a sign for his company. He gave a description of what he wanted done. He told me he would pay me $25 for it. I know I’m capable of doing the sign for him. I also know that I’m capable of doing that picture that a woman that works for my company wanted done of her and her sons. I’m just weary that they would not think it was good enough and I would have to make constant changes to it.

I’ve heard millions of nightmare stories from illustrators about their clients constantly saying, “Yeah, it looks good but could you change....” and then you go back and make changes and then they say yet again, “Yeah, it looks good but could you change...” Then before you know it turns into an endless cycle of changes where the project is never completed due to the clients constant change of opinion. I don't know maybe one day I'll grit my teeth and give it a try,..... if the money's right.

Today, I’m wearing a light blue floral print blouse, blue jeans, and my beige Muppet shoes.
