Sounds like a good temp job, even if it is retail Working around books are video games is probably the next best thing to making them. And reading/drawing time is always good. I feel like I don't get enough of that anymore.

Me, I'm between contracts at the moment (basically because the economy sucks, and I'm waiting for something that comes in January). Evan's working on a coloring book for children during the energy crisis. I've come to the conclusion that I miss school more than I thought I would, and kinda really want to be an art professor. Maybe at the Corcoran or MICA.

What companies have you been applying for? And being in NYC, with all the big publishing companies, have you thought of applying there for in-house illustrator jobs too? They're usually by-appointment. Your sculptural work is kick-ass, and photographed could make excellent illustrations. (though, since a padded resume really can't be bad, and because the recession is making job-getting harder everywhere )
