Flushed with success...or is it food poisoning?

So I logged on this morning to find out that I’m a virgin no longer. A big thank-you to Alexandra Jack, who bought my ‘When I’m dead” T-shirt – it takes a lot to make me smile on a Monday morning!

I’ve often seen comments about first purchases being the design/artwork that the owner least expected to sell, and my case is no exception.

I guess I’m not the first to assume that the designs that I have an emotional and historical investment in - computer gaming nostalgia, in this instance - would be the ones that would speak to others. It’s too soon to say that a rethink and redirect of my work is required, but I’m certainly looking at things in a different light!

It’s also a little soon to go storming into my boss’ office to tell him that he’s an officious little tick and that he can shove his job, ‘cause I’m going to make a new living selling T-shirts and prints.

It’s tempting though.

    Congratulations! And in situations like this, my advice is always the same….Give up your day job, just to piss your boss off if nothing else.
