It's so funny how you can labor over a painting and or drawing and get very little response or attention over the finished piece. On the other hand sometimes you can get so much praise over a ten minute sketch! It's a little discouraging. This happened to me recently with these little doodles I did of my co-workers at my coffee shop. When it's slow I do a quick sketch of a coworker with a quote that represents them and makes fun of them. EVERYONE wants to talk about them! Our credit card machine is slow and old school, so when we ring up customers with their credit card there's an awkward moment where I or the customer have a moment of silence to fill with some forced chit chat. These doodles hang right above the credit card machine, so often the customer's eyes trail towards them, and then many delighted comments occur. It feels good, I can't lie. Today my boss suggested I do some of these sketches on nice paper, and frame them. Apparently someone came in today and asked my manager if I was available for commissions. I should work on this...a future is here somewhere.
