Creative Gigs
I’ve been on Craigslist Philadelphia quite a bit lately searching for a small house to rent closer to my wife’s school. Everything is ridiculously expensive and depressingly run down. I grew up in Colorado, where everything is new and shiny. The burbs north of Philly are old and not very shiny. I still like the area for its uniqueness and diverse cultures. I only take exception to BMW/Lexus drivers. No you don’t have the best sounding horn, so please stop using it so much (that’s me talking to them in a sarcastic tone. That’s right, I’m sticking it to them).
I’ve also been perusing the creative jobs/gigs on Craigslist to see what type of work is out there for freelance graphic designers. There are a lot of “Photographers Seeking Models” postings. I’m guessing the breakdown is 10% legit model work, 90% perverted men. I haven’t actively attempted to take on graphic design work yet since I still have a month in my current position, but need to get a feel for what’s out there. So if you’re reading this and need a designer, call an agency. No wait, that’s not right. Call me. I’m cheaper than an agency (and pound for pound, more talented).
