compulsive compartmentalization

Captured thoughts…on exhibit in the zoo that is the blog-o-sphere.

There is no such thing on earth as an uninteresting subject; the only thing that can exist is an uninterested person. - G.K. Chesterton

Let’s talk briefly on those people who ruin things for everybody. One such person has forced me, for example, to stop doing free sketches when I’m out and about at different events. If a man should come up and request four sketches, each one for a specific member of his family, and I agree to do them, then it’s certainly his business as to what he does with them afterwards.

But, when those sketches immediately show up on Ebay, using my name and work as a selling point to draw attention to his listings, I have to conclude one of two things about this person. First, he stole the drawings from his family to sell online and make a quick buck, or second, that he is a liar and tried to manipulate multiple drawings from me in order to make a quick buck. In either case, I no longer do free drawings, unless it’s in a sketchbook or for someone I know.

I have quite enough of a challenge making a living for myself, without adding you as a dependent.
