it's really weird going from being the youngest member of every team i've ever been on to now being the oldest in one (besides the CD). suddenly i'm the butt of that "age before beauty" opening the door for someone joke. forced me to come up with a "you mean talent before vanity" comeback.
another thing i've noticed is where i used to be able to get away with being kind of shit at certain things for being young and inexperienced, now i have no excuses. someone at my age is expected to have all that shit mastered. which sucks, 'cause i'm still kinda shit at certain things.
also my particular industry has begun leaning heavily on concept artists for its new talent as a result of aesthetic shifts, which is something i was never trained on. i'm seeing guys much younger than me coming out of school for that stuff and making almost the same amount of money. it's making me think i should go back to school...
it's been weird, gonna have to step back and make some big decisions soon in terms of personal goals and what it will take to achieve them
