I haven't networked much, mostly because I'm too busy - the process takes time. But for my facepainting gig, I got alot of parents who called me back for parties and such through networking alone. I only worked for about a month for facepainting before I had to go to school, but I made around 100$ a week, excluding tips.

I'm just saying, procrastination and laziness is a deep hole to fall into, and hard to get out. You said so yourself; it's what's stopping you. You know where procrastination comes from? Fear. That's it. so stop acting like a primate scared of jumping off the tree because there is a jaguar below.

yes i've been very well aware of all that for some time now, fear is the only thing in my way, keeping myself from immersing myself in art for fear of messing up means i've already made my fear come true, it's a very simple action to just move my wrist about and etc.etc.. BUT... inspiration become shortlived and i go back into that hole like a groundhog, music does help inspire me a bit, but i just end up using up that energy unproductively, taking a left turn when i know i should've gone to the right and could but then i overcomplicate a simple lil thing like that and end up doing the very minimal, i don't believe you can tell me anything else that i haven't already gone over myself, maybe i should hire someone to flog me when i'm couch potatoeing about xP

laziness, though, is a delaying of doing stuff. Why not do it now? Naw, I'll do it later. What's stopping you from doing it now? Is the sketchbook too far awaty from your grasp and you're too lazy to pick it up and get it? There's definitely something stopping you. If you think it's indifference, that can definitely be so, but even the snorlax laura wants to go somewhere! you did say some time ago that you wanted your own apartment...

In college - UCSC. It's such a hipster paradise and the tuition is going to be so high that I might just transfer to another college. Other than that, I'm planning to develop a portfolio to apply for character design/visual development internships. It's challenging, because I feel that I need some guidance, but in UCSC, they have no animation program. So, I'm trying to search through the resouces that I have. Hell, I may even go to a couple of portfolio review days.

Ever think of going to a vocational school that specializes in Art/Animation?
I've never really thought that any old UC or CSU could do the job of a specialized school. Just don't go to Art Institutes.

Do you have any works done yet for you Portfolio? 'cuz I'm taking my portfolio class right now, and I'm nearly done with it - and let me tell you - I'm pretty sure I've been to hell back multiple times. D :

Agh, I fprgot what my tuition is, but I know that in total, school costs 33,000, and it's only going up from here. And yes, I was thinking of going to an art school. Hell, I even got accepted to calart's summer art program for high school students. I just don't have the money and lenient parents to allow me to pursue my starving artist's dreams. But I'm still trying. I did have a portfolio, but since I've improved so much in the CSSSA program, I don't like it anymore, and I'm going to make a new one from scratch this winter break. I'm going to use it to get accepted to the summer disney internship for college students, which is crazy, because other than the summer program I've mentioned earlier, I've never had legitimate instruction in character design/visual develoment. But then again, I don't care. I'm going to kick them art student applicant's asses. XD

Art Institute, not Academy of Art. I would have LOVED to have gone to AA.
And AI sucks because the one I'm attending is a relatively new school - so pretty much everything is in chaos- their budgeting, financial aid dept, student adviser dept, scheduling, and their teacher faculty. Good emphasis on teacher faculty & administration. They haven't had enough time to weed out the good teachers from the bad - and there are a lot of bad teachers. a. freaking. lot.
And the administration is composed of a bunch of greedy fat-heads that don't really know what they're doing.
