Fox portrait value study

I spent 9 years in higher education getting three degrees I barely even use. 9 years of my time and my parents’ money wasted. I’ve only managed to get two jobs that were related to what I was studying after school and in total both of them only lasted me less than two years. With nothing to fall back on I ended up back in retail, working full time as a salesman selling computer hardware to people who barely know how to use it. I’ve been doing that now for almost three years and because I work full time and I rely on my job for my health insurance and I can’t just quit or take a break, I’m barely able to work on art and build my portfolio to apply for jobs that I would truly be happy in. And the devastating thing is I know the longer I wait, the harder it’s going to be for me to get that type of job. I’m already 32 years old. I’ll be 33 in a couple months. With only two jobs under my belt that are barely related to the type of work I want to be doing, I fear this is just going to be the rest of my life. Honestly, sometimes I wonder… why I just don’t blow my brains out. The idea becomes more attractive every day.

Just needed to vent.

Finished commission for Ember Skies. This one was really fun and I learned a lot!
