Anyone who sees this as a negative has some internal insecurity issues.

hahahahahahahaha

maybe this is why you are an illustrator and not scaling the corporate ladder?

Even if this isn’t an insult it makes no sense anyway.

Working for myself…working for someone else…making myself rich…making someone else rich…money and women…80 hour weeks and pats on the back…five weeks vacation…two years and no vacation…ugh…nuh, nuh, nuhnuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuh…so many choices.

You idiot. I CHOSE to be an artist. I worked my ass off drawing everyday to get good at what I do since I was a child. My work is in magazines worldwide. I make 6 figures, fuckface. No way would I ever want to work in the “corporate” world with its dress codes, cubicles, office politics and power tips.

This is definitely why you are a fuck-wit and scraping the bottom of the barrel.

LOL at the trolls and jackasses on this site making fun of careers that pull in six figures when people are out of work.

It is ALWAYS the people doing worse talking shit.

Hey - Some people have to make others look bad so they can look good.

Yeah, I keep seeing “chubby dentist” around the site and people now making fun of a cartoonist who basically makes his own hours and pulls in more cash than any clown making fun of him.

Successful people don’t do shit like that.

Only dumbass haterz do shit like that.

I’ve seen this man’s work and he did work for me (at a discount I’ll add). To be an artist, and be good, is a gift. ID has a gift, and he’s a pretty fucking nice guy too.

Any fucking asshole with common sense can work a cubicle for life, and lick balls to get to an office one day maybe. Most people finish their lives in a cubicle or working somewhere with their name on their shirt - in a job their either indifferent to or hate. This man is doing what he loves and supporting his family.

If there is one very influential lesson I’ve learned in my life after a long career in cubicles and offices, it’s you should spend your time doing what you love if at all possible. Life is short. It goes quick. I wished I learned this sooner, rather than spending any time on the fucking corporate treadmill, with the rest of the sheep. BAAAAAA BAAAAAA BAAAAA Commute BAAAAAAA Commute Home. BAAAAA Kiss boss’ ass BAAAAAAA Downsizing BAAAAAAAA Laugh at incompetent boss’ jokes BAAAAA BAAAAA

ID you don’t have to defend yourself. The comment was beneath you. You’re a lucky man - but I know you know that.

Except when the attempt to make someone look bad was an utter failure.

The petty man (or woman) goes for the “judgular;” he tries to insult as much as possible.

LOL I did it 20 years, no hate here. Do you like your job? If so, then no “FML”!! If you rather have been something else…then yes, FML or change it :slight_smile:

I don’t have to lecture you, this is for the “yungins”. You’ll spend the better part of your days, and lives, working. You’d be well served to find your passion, pursue that passion and live within your means along the way. I know lots of miserable people in McMansions. Personally, I’d rather live in a trailer on 10 acres, with bills paid, than miserable in a McMansion grinding my monthly nut that is breaking my back.

Lots of people chase chase chase their wholes lives…and then one day, wonder where time went, and what the hell they were chasing.

Grandpa very sick, might not make it this month. Reminds me of his lecture on making yourself happy above all else.

Truth with the above.

Of course, I find a lot of happiness having a certain lifestyle, being able to afford to train the way I want, and compete, and being able to have my wife not work and stay home with the kids, so that being said I am more than happy to go to cubicle land, for the time being.

There might come a day though when I say fuck it and go live in a trailer, lol.

Thanks for the kudos, friends.

I probably reacted too harshly, but I was in a tense mood this morning with 3 deadlines looming, yet I had previously scheduled to volunteer to do a seminar at a local high school career day today. I just got back to read these posts.

I also want to apologize at the suggestion that I look down on those who choose corporate positions and the subsequent cubicle life. Without corporate positions, even my “freestyle” job and related lifestyle would not exist. Anyone who is happy with what they do no matter what the job is a success to me. All I’m saying is I’m not cut out for corporate life.

There are times, however, that I realize I am lacking social contact as I work virtually alone in my studio all day (and many nights). If I had a cubicle job, I’d probably be the most gregarious person on the floor and piss everyone off with my constant, “…hey guys…” interruptions.

lol

Agreed. The whole purpose of a suit is to hide flaws and create a V-taper.

That ronnie coleman suit pic was actually pretty cool. His tailor did a great job of making 300+lbs look about as aesthetic as it’s going to look in a suit.

I personally think if it is tailored right and you really are in shape, you can see that through a suit.

I think it becomes cloudy when you have a muscular guy with average or above body fat. They can’t tell muscle from fat.
