    "nothing original to design"

    "Original" is not a viable commodity in today's world. Who wants to invest the time and the money in an unproved end result? Who's going to explain that to the shareholders? Forget about original, its all in the past now.

    "I haven't put a new piece in my folio in literally over 2 years... :(... and I make GREAT FUCKING MONEY"

    Great fucking money always equals no fucking quality. basic fact of creative life. I worked for many years doing work that was admired and I earned hardly anything for it. Then I got sick of being poor and went to an ad agency who paid me a FUCKING FORTUNE and like you I didn't put one single thing in my portfolio for exactly two years.

    Can you not put a developer on the jobs as well, therby freeing yourself up totally, and just skimming the profit, and then use the free time to find your n ew direction?

      Okay... I just realized that I have good problems and just need to do something for myself here to remind myself why i got into this.
