The constant toiling and efforts are hard to appreciate when each endeavor is paced so far apart. I love my job and I love to create new things but the timeline from beginning to end it is often hard to align my attention correctly. Patience must be at least half of this game. I am drawing in an endless stream of ideas with only the occasional patron deciding to take one for their own. But even once I can translate an idea from paper to skin, it may be another year before I get to cross the finish line.
I’m thankful for the restless people like Slade who have no patience for unfinished work and allow me to run wild and fast.
