Yes, it's full-time. For about a quarter-century, I've been doing my favorite thing, with no boss, no time limits, no schedule. Especially during the Amiga days, I couldn't wait to get up every day, knowing I was going to create things on a computer screen that no human eyes had ever seen before.
When I was teaching graphics seminars, I called this the chocolate cake sydrome. My favorite food is chocolate cake, but when I have it every meal, I get sick of it (for a while, anyway). Well, when you get tired of your favorite thing, where do you go from there?
The answer, of course, is variety - the spice of life. So last week I was in Belize swimming through caves and climbing Mayan ruins. Now I'm back in my computer room, energized and eager to create some more effects.
