vectorize!

i've recently been asked to assume the mantle of graphic designer in this office of mine. this works well for me, despite the fact that i am receiving no extra pay to perform these two jobs. but you know, for the time being, that's okay. because let me tell you--nothing makes the day fly by like obsessing over something i'm creating in illustrator. just as in college i could labor for six hours over a single cut in whatever film i was working on, i can nudge and manipulate a vector graphic for HOURS.

today, i spent the entire afternoon drawing a checker cab. as i said to dom, accomplishing that leaves me caught between an immense feeling of self-satisfaction and a bit of shame that i spent an entire afternoon drawing a car.

but, as he said: i should probably take a moment to consider that at the moment, i'm being paid to draw cars.

right. perspective. more than just a function of the transform menu in photoshop.
