After 10 years of working as a graphic designer, I have decided that it's time for me to find that courage.
My true passion has always been for drawing and entertaining, so, starting March 1 2012, I will be working for my very own illustration studio. It's a very bittersweet time as I say goodbye to friends at Hawse, but it's something I must do.
I'm very fortunate to have several projects underway, including lots of iOS development, mascot/branding work and character development. I am blessed to have a great network of friends and clients that have faith in me. It's a very exciting time for me and my family.
I look forward to being able to draw, create and entertain…. full time, you guys.
Everybody pretty much summed up my thoughts. Congrats brother! Looking forward to seeing your crummy drawings all over the place now. Are you going to offer Mr. Stevens a job at your studio. I have a feeling he'll be lonely now.
@Joey Ellis I have zero fears for you as I know you're gonna knock it out of the park! the only emotions I feel is excitement, pride and okay, a wee bit o jealousy.

Congrats on taking the leap. It's a worthwhile journey.
I just started my first full time job in a decade, and there are things I already miss about freelancing.
