Moonlighter's Mindstate
The way to connect dreams to action is very simple. The person dreams and simply does. This is easier said than done, but the concept works, and one can’t poke many holes in such a simple plan.
For the artist, the problem can take a much more complex turn. There are bills to pay, children to feed, personal hang-ups to overcome, and a challenge that teems with pessimism. "I can’t do it. I don’t really believe in myself. I can’t find a way to make this widget or convince an audience that my plan is brilliant." This is what pessimism sounds like. It’s not something we want to hear or embrace. It drives a wedge between us and what we intend to accomplish.
The solution lies in finding a way to establish your art slowly. A quick rise may occur, but more often than not, slow and steady will win the race.
This artist found a way to produce what he loved and pay his bills. Instead of moonlighting with distractions he chose to moonlight with his passion. I’m sure you're passionate about something, but are you moonlighting enough?

ReplyDeleteOkay, it seems you all use Macs. I use a PC so that software is not going to work for me.However, HOW are you gtenitg the screen captured video from the iPhone or iPad onto your Mac to be able to use the software on that computer? I have Camtasia on my PC, which is the equivalent of Screenflow on your Mac, but I cannot find out how to get the video to transfer to my PC to be able to capture it from the Windows environment on my laptop.The only solution I have found thus far, that captures both the video and audio from the iPad and iPhone, AND allows me to narrate over both involves a $800 piece of equipment. Not something I want to invest in only to find it outdated with iOS 5 or another update.Anyone know how one does this with a Windows 7 laptop?Thanks in advance!Marge

Some Of The Big Reasons Louis Vuitton Handbags Are So PopularThe luxurious handbags are now the international standard in baggage, the suitcases and bags from which all others are judged. Like champagne, Bourdeaux wines, cheeses, and many other things that greatly improve this life, Louis Vuitton handbags began in France. In the beginning of the nineteenth century, the emperor of France, Napoleon III, was looking for someone to manage the bags of Empress Eugene. The man the emperor found was Louis Vuitton, a professional luggage handler who packed luggage for upper class families. Vuitton broke ground by inventing airtight and flat stackable luggage. From these beginnings, Vuitton constructed his business, establishing his first design offices in 1854. At the World's Fairs in 1867 and 1889, Louis Vuitton won first a bronze and then a gold medal in recognition of the excellence of his bags. But it wasn't until 1892 that the first http://www.cheaplouisvuittonreplica2012.com/louis-vuitton-women-belts-c-173.html of his handbags hit the market. Soon after the company's luggage line grew larger and larger. Since the very beginning, and right up to today, these designer hand bags have been respected and known as synonymous with high end quality and craft. Fast forward to today's world, and Louis Vuitton handbags have become markers of class and luxury. This contributes to making Louis Vuitton brand bags the industry leader. In fact, the bags are so coveted that fertile counterfeiters flood the market with fakes, so that less than 1% of the bags bought and sold are genuine Louis Vuitton made. In an effort to counter the efforts of bootleg handbags, Vuitton's son Georges introduced the LV Monogram Canvas in 1896, which was an industry first. The canvas is the designer's label branded onto the product at the factory. Only genuine Louis Vuitton luggage has the LV Monogram Canvas. Imitators may try to copy it, but the trained eye will know the difference! Starting in 1888, the designer's bags were available in the Damier Canvas. Both Louis and Georges worked on the design, which bears marque L. Vuitton deposee, the French way of saying trademark L. Vuitton. Following this, Georges released the Monogram Canvas whose symbols and graphics were influenced by the Late Victorian influence in Asian art. In 1901, The Steamer Bag, a small handbag to go with larger LV luggage and trunks, was introduced. 1930 saw the introduction of the elegant and timeless Louis Vuitton handbag Keepall, which first was a fashion sensation and then an icon. Along with its smaller successor, the Speedy, the Keepall's leather is tooled with the trademark LV design throughout, and the hallmark suave curves and handles suggest simplicity and practicality while maintaining the aura of luxury. Originally a carrying case for five bottles of champagne, the Louis Vuitton Noe bag became a phenomenon when upper class women took notice and transformed it into a must have handbag. Renowned designers Stephen Sprouse and Marc Jacobs unveiled a limited edition graffiti LV monogram in 2001, which was available to only a list of the designer's choosing. Jacobs followed the graffiti monogram up in 2003 while working with Takashi Murakami to create a new canvas featuring thirty three colors, the Monogram Multicolore. And most recently Takashi Murakami fashioned the Cherry Blossom pattern, in 2004, and new Monogram Cerises pattern, in 2005, both of which were inspired by Japanese animation
