“If you could have any job in the world, what would it be?”
It would be what it is. 🙂 I’m a sculptor, and I get to make whatever I want. I just need to get faster at it if I want to make more than sweatshop wages…
(… but luckily we don’t have to depend on my income.)Oh, and a big workshop with power tools and lots of space to make BIG pieces would be nice. 🙂 I don’t ask for much…
Oh yes. I would just about kill for real studio space! To have a cutting table! To no longer have my bed buried in half-finished projects! To have clothing in my closet and not boxes of fabric and supplies!

Hahha, I hear you! I’m painting Windstones on a 14″ x 20″ coffee/end table right now while sitting on the floor! Story of our lives, huh? 😆
Volunteer mod- I'm here to help! Email me for the best response: nambroth at gmail.com
My art: featherdust.comI’d like to model, but I’m too short, too fat, and too old. 😆 But I LOVE clothes and shoes!
However, I do like selling Windstones. I’d like to expand my stock lines though. I email Nene Thomas to see if I could sell her things, but she never responded.
And I’d like to teach English in a college. Hey! I do that! I wish I taught more things than essay (rhetorical) writing though, like literature and creative writing. Maybe someday. 🙂
id just like a job where i can be happy and live slightly below my means–to save for emergencies.
im still trying to figure that job out. it is definitely not a graduate student nor a software engineer at a government contractor. 🙁
I want to travel all over the place and then, among other things (to be determined), spend the rest of my life working out of a coffee shop.
Slightly tongue-in-cheek reply there, but more or less the truth.

hmmm…..coffee…..must have coffee…..
I love my job, I’d just like to do bigger and better shows, with a bigger and better paycheck!! I’d also like to build my dream house, like a castle, and have a nice yard to garden in. Oh and of course space for all my windstones!! 8)
I’m also pretty lucky in that I am doing my dream job but a DREAM job would be working on a space station (always wanted to go to outer space) or be president of the US so I could straighten stuff out! 😆

There ya go! That’s what I’m talking about!!
I want to be a professional video game player, and an Astronaut on the side!
I would like to be a lottery winner…really.
But honestly…I want to be a tattoo artist. OH SO BAD. But I tried all the tat studios within an hours drive and NONE would apprentice a girl. They blow. I even caught one of them. They advertised on their website that they were looking for an apprentice and when I called they said that was a mistake. A month later I see now they have a new male apprentice. Virginia sucks.
I really really would love to do that for a living. To create art that would last….FOREVER. To make custom work for those who really want something from the heart. Miami Ink here I come.But……I am just dreaming I guess.

Meh, that’s just VA Seriously take a trip to Florida or CA and see what you get. Be sure to take a book of sketches and prints that you could pop out at a moments notice! =P

I hear you there whippet, I’ve been tattooing “illegally” for about a year now. It’s a huge taboo to apprentice females. It’s really difficult and you can’t get licensed in MA unless you have at least 2 years worth of apprenticeship in a licensed shop. It doesn’t even matter what kind of talent you have and if you flash a diploma from a tattoo school you just get laughed in the face. It’s really tough for girls.
I got started after searching of someone to apprenticing me for abot 5 years. After coming up with nobody I just broke down and bought equipment on ebay and am basically self taught at this point. It’s actually not too hard to get started once you practice on a few things. The best (though it’s gross) is pig skin. Everyone says raw chicken, but it’s not. Oranges are better then that. I got a kit for around 200 bucks and practiced some linework on oranges and color on a pig head….not for very long though. I was too grossed out cause it was…THE HEAD….of a DEAD PIG! So I just practiced on myself. Which was equally as nausiating actually, LOL! It’s the hardest to do on yourself I think because you are minus one hand and it’s just difficult to self inflict. For me anyway.
I’ve only done about 7 tattoos. Straight lines are the hardest to get down and I still need practice, but I guess I’m not too bad for pretty much teaching myself. I just tattoo for material costs and you’d be surprised how many people will jump at the temptation of being a gunia pig! You should give it a try.
Once I have some actual pictues of tattoos I’ve done that I’m happy with I plan on going back to the drawing board with actual tats to show artists and not just sketches. Hopefully that will work.
My dream job though huh? Well, I think I’d want Nam’s job 😀 Either that or Karen or Susie’s! LOL! *I’m such a geek*
