RE: Design a Character Contest by @w0olf - Entry #3
Wow South Korea! That's a ways away! How cool. I've never been overseas before. What branch of the military were you in and what job did you have? If you don't mind me asking. I live in Colorado Springs, which is basically a fort head. Lots of military people here. I don't know you, but wouldn't peg you for the military type
Haha, especially not with all the talk of smoking vulture brains, I'm sure. Doesn't seem too military-like. I was Air Force though for eight years, and I did communications work. It was good while I was in, but I needed my freedom back, so I got out after my enlistment was up. Went back to school, got a degree in creative media and digital technology, and here we are! Sometimes I toy with the idea of going back into the military, but I don't know if I would. So many rules. Haha
Well it sounds like you definitely used your time wisely and got into some work you'd use after you left. Good on ya! The Air Force Academy is here in the Springs. If I ever joined a branch it would've been the Air Force, but I'm too much of a hippy haha. Got my degree in biology, always wanted to do field research or something outdoors, but ended up teaching. Guess it's never too late!
Air Force is the way to go for sure, if you're looking to join the military. Teaching's not a bad gig though. I always enjoyed my biology classes. Cro-magnon man and whatnot, lol. I thought about teaching english overseas or online for a bit, just to try it out. But art and graphic design is my favorite way to pass the time. And tattooing, but that kind of fits in the same scope of art and design, i suppose.
That's awesome. Do you have a job as a tattoo artist too? I've never been great at drawing, so the fractal program and photoshop give me something to make cool stuff with. I mainly use my creative forces on music :)
Yeah, I do tattoos as well. I'm a fan of trying to create a lot of passive income where I can, so I have more time for things I love, like drawing and tattooing. But I can't do full time tattooing at the moment with my little one unless I put her in daycare. I'd rather be with her though. That's cool that you make music! You're on Spotify, right? Do you go by Falseyedols?
Indeed! I'm the only person on this planet that spells it like that, so I'm not too hard to find. I made an album called Augmented Worlds that is on there, and a collab I did with a local rapper is up there too. The album has about every genre of music, maybe you'll like it :) It would be nice to have enough passive income to focus on the arts completely! A definite goal of mine too. I noticed on your page here that you are working on a children's book or books? I liked all your coloring book pages, and I still will want some pages for the kid to color for sure! They aren't what you would find in a typical coloring book, which I like!
Great! I'll go and check out your tunes today. The children's books are illustrated and in the editing phase at the moment. Waiting for the authors to go over them and give me their feedback. The coloring pages though are finished. So let me know which ones you like and I am happy to email them over and you can print them. You just have to promise you'll send me a pic of some colored pages someday. :)
I promise! I get the kiddo back on saturday, so I'll let her choose her favorite(s)! Once she colors them, I'll post them onto Steemit and tag you :)
