10. Of course I'm unfamiliar with it.
I'm 42 years old, what do you except? ;) I could be your father. Nah, scratch that.

Have a look here (familiar to me) - might have a few things there you'd like (both 3D and 2D works):

4. So... what are they actually paying you to do?
Or are you an art teacher or graphic designer or something now? :P

18. You must have the patience of a saint
I'd probably be mailing customers "free magnetic-mount cupholders for computers" by now.


"That's right, Mr. Smith. Just stick it right on your PC's housing. Okay, talk to you later."

:evilgrin:

20. "Hold, please"
"Why me, God? Why do you torment me so? This person things the mouse is a foot pedal. The last one plugged the power strip into itself and couldn't figure out why his PC didn't work. Yesterday somebody broke their built-in cupholder. You know, the one that has "DVD-RW written on it?

"Lord, give me some strengh, please/"

21. I seriously spent 20 minutes one day trying to explain how to restart the computer.
It was horrible.

8. Your technique is outstanding.
Your draughtsmanship is excellent and your shading is exquisite.

11. Thanks a lot!
I'm still learning to be honest.

Funny story: I had a few tortillons lying on my desk Sunday night and a guy walked past and said "Are those what I think they are?" I thought he meant the drawings s I was like "Yeah, it's Daft Punk." He was like no, THOSE things," and pointed at the tortillons. I was like "they're for blending and shading..." and he was like "OH, I thought they were joints, I was about to say..." And I laughed, because you know most people like to leave joints covered in graphite with band names printed on them on their desk.

22. You are very talented!
I hope that some day you can obtain a job that better suits your talents.

In my meantime, continue to fill up your sketchbook and please continue sharing with us.

All the best . . .
