The last two weeks have presented me with career challenges that I have not ever had before. I am a person who prides themselves on learning whatever it is that they need to know to get the job done. Challenges are like shots of expresso to my a.m. system. I welcome them, but when a major organization calls you for Custom Graphic Artwork in less than 15-days of their digital deadline to remit to a major publication, what do you do?

Believe it or not, Art is my mother’s name, but it doesn’t make me an author of Graphic Arts by any stretch of the imagination. I am a Content Creator and I love composition, mostly of words and cinematography, but the organization was in search of artwork that could reflect their 75^th Season of exemplary productions and I was compelled to accept the challenge.

If you recall, last Fall, I was compelled to jump into another field that I knew very little about: A.I. – Artificial Intelligence as it pertains to semiconductor production. Again, I am a content creator, mostly of literature and moving pictures, but without A.I. I would have had to hammer this piece out on a typewriter, and my moving pictures would just be a flip book.

Technology is amazing and A.I. is its biological child, so I cozied up with the two of them and we’re going steady. Not ever to be one who walks away from a challenge, I reassessed my capacity and in less than an hour I was able to cobble together a team that included an amazing graphic art composer and an engineer to help me manifest the request. I absolutely could not afford either talent, but both had faith in my capacity and yielded the full weight of their skills to the cause and in less than 15-days we created and submitted legacy vector art that is worthy of 75 years of celebration. We were paid handsomely and offered a recurring role in their marketing department.

This morning I feel good because I love getting the work done.
The organization loved it so much, that they paid a hefty sum.

A sum that is not easy to come by, but then again, neither is good art.
But we can do all things through Christ with exceptional passion and management smarts.

Try your hand at something new.
Active learning is truly the fountain of youth.

Pardon me as I smile at the sun rising and sip this cup of jo.
Life is doing her thing, y’all and I am good to go.

Life is hardly subtle, and we all enjoy a good show,
I’m Qui
Demure is not me, I’ve a penchant for being bold.

I’m up, I’m awake and I’m going for more gold.
