holidays dont exist for freelancers

boooooo. A lovely labor day weekend spent working. actually pretty much every weekend involves working...name of the game and all that. worked on the aforementioned film festival poster all 3 days and still didn't finish it. the version posted here is "in progress."

i was going to do a "how to" and drag readers through the process. honestly i dont know how i did this one. Its a lot of give and take with me. put stuff in, take stuff out. i was always fascinated by those "how to paint in oils" or whatever books. it always seemed so easy. no questioning of color choice, design etc. just a simple step by step.

either those books have all the problems edited out or i'm making things difficult on myself.
