Thank God I Am NOT the President of the USA

Okay so I wake up every day thanking God, or the powers that be that I am NOT president. I mean, who on earth would want that job? No matter what you do, people hate you. And nothing is ever good enough and you are always trying to fix what some other jackass did before you.

Personally I think Bush was smart, yes he was, he has an over average I.Q. but he was NOT ready for the job at hand. Life was good when he got elected and as far as America knew all we had to worry about was Bill's extra activities. Little did Bush or anyone know that someone in the middle east was carrying a grudge from Bush senior years before little Bush got into office. Huge mistake!

So now you have a man who really hasn't done much in his life in the White House-good God-and then we get attacked and little Bush gets played like a rag doll by the people he hired to help him. He really wasn't ready and now we have Obama who is doing his best but the mess that he was left is beyond ginormous.

The lefties are angry because they are still poor, the righties are angry because they are always angry, the middle east still hates us and Obama can't seem to do anything right, or can he? I think he's doing a great job in the face of what he has to face every single day. I have a bad day and I have to rewrite a chapter or take a character out, or do a new drawing, or whatever-no one dies because of what I do, and no wars break out, etc. Poor Obama-give the man a break for fuck sake he is doing a great job, seriously!

He has my vote and there is pretty much nothing he can do to change that. I am very open minded about politics and used to be a die hard Republican-but you know I used to like the Yankees too-we all grow up at some point-so I am open. That said, the righties have gone way over the deep end. Women shouldn't vote? Only white men voting? Christian this, Christian that. Half of the south-oy vey, the south-thinks Obama is from a country in Africa that they can't even find on a map. Everyone is spreading lies and hate via Facebook and ignoring what this country was built on.

It's pretty fucking scary these days and so I chose to read the "Onion" not because I don't care, because I do, but my life is hard and scary enough, I just can't get sucked into the crazy of American politics.

I am just thankful that it's not me up there in the Oval office having to deal with the constant bullshit day in and day out.

Just sayin'

OBAMA 2012!!

It's Been Awhile---Catching Up With Me

 So much to say and how to say it... so I'll just start with. Wow, what a year it's been.  I mean, could anyone have predicted all the shite that has hit us in 2020?  NO way!  I'm grateful for so much though, and one of them is the freedom to be able to have blogs (yes I have many) and the freedom to say whatever I want ---this is important.  I'm grateful that I live where I do and even though I'm not rich, I am healthy and live a good life. I do what I can to help others, I also have a loving husband and a Westie who I adore.  As many of you know that aside from blogging sporadically on here I'm a writer and an artist AND I work one on one with both artists and writers to help them in their careers. I've been doing this since 2006 (artists) 2010 (writers). The past few years I've focused on coaching writers as I became the queen of writing conferences and people were always hitting me up for free advice. I even started a YouTube channel CHECK IT OUT Thi...

And It Continues-This One Paid $.50 (cents) Per Drawing!

And it continues.. what is wrong with people?  "54 simple illustrations needed. Small files for web use only, either 300 x 300px square or 460 x 300px rectangle.Will provide font, sample finished product and detailed instruction sheet. Paying $0.50 per .JPG " yeah that's 50 cents!! I saw another one yesterday from New York area that is paying $4 per hour, isn't that illegal in this country, guess not.. I don't understand, a couple days ago I was approached to do someone's book. I gave him a fair price, meaning I quotes less than a day's wage per page and he replied back with insults saying he knows for a fact that illustrators get $5 per page, yes 5 bucks.. he is insane. What is worse is that he wanted fully rendered like hand painted work that would take more than a day.  This happens all the time. I don't understand why the value of an artist isn't valued anymore.  Look we can draw and you can't so pay us a fair wage!! I don'...

Box Office Frog at $150 Million

"The movie cost a reported $150 million" this is from an article about the Princess and The Frog. The thing that gets me is that Disney used an ultra small staff here in the Burbank studio, so small in fact that many of us, 100 or more, give or take, weren't even offered positions on the film and rather most of the work was shipped overseas or across the country to small independent studios for the explanation of, "to keep the costs down". The costs were not kept down at $150 million and that is a shame because they are setting it up to be a box office failure and thus putting the nail into the coffin of 2D films. The article by Julia Boorstin also said that the reason 2D films weren't making money was this, "hand-drawn animation tends to appeal primarily to kids while Pixar movies draw all ages." I would like to smack her because this is simply not true. Story is what appeals to all ages, and it has nothing to do with the medium. It makes me sad t...
