Work you did while employed belongs to your former employer... you need to ask permission. I believe It's bad form to use your former employers work on your own business portfolio - ESPECIALLY if you are now his competition unless you get permission. Some of my best work was while I was...

Here was a guy with web presence up the wazoo, but no portfolio... out of business https://signs101.com/threads/wrap-sales-cold-calling-tips.127969/ Can't say this was the reason, maybe he was a bad salesman, designer or installer... I agree with Toad and Sign Support. Get a portfolio started...

If that works for you, then I think it's great. I also believe sitting in front of a desk all day is unnatural, but the topic is more relating to doing/getting better design/sign work. Since Neato's business is partly design related, partly craftsmen related, I'm thinking he's trying to find...

Gosh.... So now that I look back I'm thinking... my original response COULD have been: If a designer has to stare at a screen 6-10 hours out of the day, 5-7 days a week, learn software, learn design, keep up with the what's going on, while improving your skill and satisfying clients... Is it...

Hemet is best described on the first entry of Urban Dictionary: https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=hemet

Very intense... on my 4th episode. Maybe not everything applicable to my situation, he does hits a nerve, thanks...

Yeah but he can afford hot prostitutes disguised as police...

It's a bigger thrill being cuffed by a hot cop than porked by a Hemet prostitute (I have that embroidered on a pillow)

Have you seen the prostitutes in my neck of the woods? I may be in California but its not like the Beach Boys song "California Girls" More like "I wish they all could be toothless, ugly and drugged" (I hate it when Pat is getting laid more than me)

Thanks, those aren't troubles, it's what we all have to do. I have been very lucky in my career. I'm trying to pass some of what I have learned about this business. And learning from the young designers as well. Most designers do this because it's a passion. No one likes doing poop work. I feel...

I believe that is what I was saying... but I have a kid in college, house payment, car payments, insurances, retirement/401k, business expenses, sick parents, and no significant other to help with the bills, that does not seem like the easy life. The young designers have that to look forward...

Assuming again, I'm commando bruh...

After reading about his distaste for booze, I stopped reading Nietzsche,,, besides, he would have been a hack sign guy too...

The issue I see is: Will Texas's "opinion" be the universal answer to everything on this site? The question was the state of our industry and the frustration of designers who prefer to do better work... -- Now if we get sad because a print head goes out, did we tithe enough? were we...

In one way, I envy the clueless... though I have the rest of the week off to ponder the liberties in which I live in (and troll the site)

Pass it on, but expect to get called on it... this is a SIGN forum, you have no clue what anyone does with their faith... and you go on here and say, I gave 10% over and I'm making cash! Yay, good for you... where can I get in on this deal! And I can be happy too! Yay again! By the way, you...

There has always been a thin line between being a righteous man, and a self-righteous one. Do you assume that the OP or anyone on the thread, or the site, lack faith, commitment or knowledge of whatever belief system they choose to believe? I will assume you are christian... I'll use a simple...

I think passion projects are just as important to us old designers too. I Just looked back at a job I did 18 year ago and compared it to a job I just did... I realized that it's the same stuff. I started with hand lettering, punk/gig posters and surf/action wear and now I design to pay the...

Hey Neato (and other frustrated designers) I saw this a few weeks ago and should have posted this here... This is not totally new information (for me) but if you want to design certain work, start doing it now and attract the clients you are looking for.... increase your potential for new work...
