BE A MAN. GET A JOB.






I think every guy, especially artists, find a lot identity through their work. As a graphic designer in a cubicle farm, I struggle to be both creative and corporately appropriate.    Before I got my job and as I pursued a way to be a working artist,  I repeatedly heard this phrase "Be a man. Get a job."

While this link between job and identity may not always be the best thing for a generation graduating into the recession, everyone knows it exists.  Still, I haven't seen many illustrators tackle it.  I really respect artists that address real-world issues, and hopefully I've done that here.
