So after 5 long years doing Graphic Design for queen and company, I'm leaving the govt. Contracting business. Layoffs suck, but at the same time I really was starting to grow tired of doing the same things, and dealing with some of the more "colorful" personalities.

Most people see leaving their 5+ year career job as a tragedy, but to me it's like a switch just flipped. I feel like I have more energy to finish drawings and pieces i start on, and I don't have the stress or burden of hard deadlines to keep me from personal projects.

We're planning on moving to the midwest in August for better job opportunities, and cheaper cost of living. Hopefully this will push me to meet people and conditions that will really harness my abilities in ways i never dreamed.
