Well this is a level of de diligence i was heretofore unaware of. i personally am amazed that you haven't heard back from anyone and really like your stuff. My brain can't even start to conceive of how to even think up the stuff you do, much less execute it. That said, i am a nobody in terms of art/design/whathaveyou. But regardless i still like it, so that's one down in the mission of having almost everyone like it (and if i didn't, i wouldn't say i did, i'd just say nothing).
So maybe a break IS in order. If for nothing more than to clear out all those robots of rote that seems to set up shop in one's brain when a relatively similar task is asked of them over and over.
And who knows, maybe your next endeavor will add a new dimension to your art, open a door to another room where you can frolic.
But even given the disappointment you've experienced and documented up there ^, remember, it's not that you aren't any good (cause you really are), it's just that you're not marketable to them right now. Which, depending on how you view life, is not that important at all.
Make your art your religion. Make it what you believe in and pour your soul into (or at least the bits of your it that don't go to Racheal and the wee one).
You've got talent, you've got integrity, and you have a voice. And though that won't pay for a roof over your head or food to eat, it is still not something to sneeze at.Now could you kindly help me down from this soapbox? Honestly, who buys this much soap?
