Teaching
As it’s commonly understood, working means making a living. In so many jobs, living is what comes after work. What I want more than anything for my students is that they make a life. I’ve taught game developers, tattoo artists, painters, and a great many others who now work in fields other than art or design. I cannot make their career choices but I do all I can to enable their creative living. As a working artist myself, responding to the creative directions of a number of students is invigorating. This is making a living in the fullest sense.
