This really lifted my sprits Owen! I am a 3rd year landscape architecture and I so badly want to avoid following the common practice route that many of my peers are finding work in. Reading this has shut the doubts from my mind and I'm going to put all my energy into what I know im best at. If I may ask, was there ever a time where you took a side job as you were building your reputation? I have no intention of being wealthy but I would love to leave the States in search of something new. My only concern is finaces and I see remote work as being the best option for that, any suggestions?
Also in your next post I would love to learn more about your digital coloring and scanning process. Cheers!
Thanks, Adam! I'm glad you found it useful. And to answer you question, yes, I took on various different jobs along the way. This post is very much the short version, but it was all a lot more blurred in reality. I kept in touch with my architecture clients, and worked with them when I needed to, or took on small private jobs to get by. I was doing a lot of different things, some were more creative and going in the right direction and others were more for economic survival, so it was a case of balancing it all. Hope that's helpful!
I have that seaside town print along with a lot of my favourite comic art on a wall in my living room. It's nice to hear a little of the backstory behind it because I always feel really drawn to it, like somewhere I'd love to actually visit.
