Today is a good day, I think.
I can't go into much detail, but I officially signed a freelance contract to create artwork for clothing sold at Zumiez. In my eyes, this will be my first true gig as a freelance designer.
Say what you will about Zumiez, but do so in another room for I do not care. They're the ones giving me a chance to start making some (consistent) money doing the thing I set out to make money doing.
Who knows, maybe this gig leads nowhere, or maybe it falls through entirely. But let me tell you, right now- tonight, it feels like I truly accomplished something.
And that's a rare feeling for me.
