T-shirts. Uggh.

So I've been doing these contests for a while. These t-shirt contests. I was initially intrigued with this whirlwind of crap when I read that there are actual cash prizes for winning such a contest. I thought to myself "hey, I'm good. I can do this. I'll just whip up a design in an hour and get a thousand bucks. Everyone LOOOVVEESSS me."

Ha. Right.

I've never felt so small and untalented in my life. I push these designs I make for hours and even days. I've literally put at least 10 hours into each design. And I get online to submit my shit, and I see these other blogs full of posts like "oh man, after 4 hours of working on this, I just couldn't justify spending any more time on it."

.....and the work is beautiful.

So I usually either give up and don't submit at all, OR I submit, get embarassed, and then yank it off before anyone noticed it.

Pitiful. And I call myself an artist??
