What do you do? What would you like to do?, by jipsy on Nov 1, 2007 18:48:35 GMT 1, I'm an engineer.
Been in the aerospace industry since I was 16. No freedom or lateral thinking in my enviroment, it's all equations and rules.
It keeps the kids in clothes and me in prints, that's about it.
If I had my chance again I would have pursued a career in rugby coaching or sport's therapy, anything to have more people contact and to be more involved with sport.

What do you do? What would you like to do?, by mike hunt on Nov 1, 2007 19:01:37 GMT 1, Creative stuff is all I could ever do - I never wanted to do anything else so never tried. I'm a designer and I love what I do, but I would like to have enough time to do some canvases. I get to do a bit of commissioned illustration work, but not as much as I'd like. Design (and advertising) is an artform to me, but I would like to be able to do work with less commercial pressure - less compromise. And I'd love to have the time to be able to make some phat, funky tracks!

What do you do? What would you like to do?, by corblimeylimey on Nov 1, 2007 19:02:47 GMT 1, I work in graphic reproduction, I mainly scan artwork and photographs and make them ready for print, I also do product photography.
I'm pretty contented with my lot, I'm self employed and work from home, my only niggle is sometimes I don't have enough work so my income is all over the place.
When I was a little kid my ambition was to drive dustbin lorries ;D

By the way, if the apocalypse ever happened, you'd be ok but I'd be screwed. I mean, what practical skills do I have? I'm better off running towards the bomb or going round to your place where you would have already begun to build a new world from scratch.
Re: the new banksy - I too noted his kippa! His real name is not Robby Banks - its Rabbi Bankskenbergski.

What do you do? What would you like to do?, by tomjedimaster on Nov 1, 2007 19:49:41 GMT 1, i'm a mechanical engineer in the motorsport and high performance car industry. i develop brake and clutch systems on race cars and supercars: Bugatti, Koenigsegg, Pagani Zonda and many other cars that i will never be able to afford in my life. i travel all over the place testing the cars, going to races, sorting out the commercial deals, and taking a lot of crap from germans. i enjoy working on these exotic cars, but i prefer riding my motorcycles.
my plan is to get my wife to make enough money to support my art buying habit and to allow me to stop working to golf, snowboard, and ride my motorcycles everyday.

What do you do? What would you like to do?, by GVD on Nov 1, 2007 19:56:51 GMT 1, I'm still in high-school, should be in my final year but failed last year. So I'm doing the year again but than instead of B (technical side), I'm doing A (cutural and creative side).
When I graduate I want to go to art school.
I've never had a 'real' job but now I've got the opurtonity to work with hard canvas and everyone around here is so jealous. Met this guys last week, he was in his final grade of art school, and he just couldn't believe it. ;D

a sof tail is nice and you'll love it, but i slightly prefer the sportster. i'm a bit of a bmw man, i have an F650, F650 Dakar, and an R1200GS. i might pick up a monster or fireblade next summer. my wife has been taking lessons and told me that she wants a speed triple.

What do you do? What would you like to do?, by jB on Nov 1, 2007 20:30:06 GMT 1, I test people for hearing loss and counsel each person to their best means of correction. It can be challenging working with the elderly, however very fulfilling.
Like Buster, I think if I could do anything I would open a little beach bar in the Virgin Islands where life was nice and slow, and the surroundings were always simply pure beauty

What do you do? What would you like to do?, by Rourke on Nov 1, 2007 20:34:07 GMT 1, From being a kid all I wanted to be was a soldier, at 13 I joined the cadets and was planning on going in Junior Para when I was 16. But I discovered Girls and that went out of the window.
I went to college studied Graphic Design, worked for my Bro who is a printer for years, discovered t'interent, designed a t-shirt website about 5 years ago. Still doing t-shirts, its OK, pays the bills most of the time. But is quiet around this time of year, until January, when it kicks in again.
Even when I started the t-shirt business, I have always had 'my art' in the back of my head. The t-shirts is a means to an end. Art is my passion and I have always wanted to get a gallery up an going. This is now in the final stages, so fingers crossed everything will go alright on the night and I might get my dream and be able to concentrate on my art full time.
I would like to be successful and for others to appreciate what I do.

I prefer just browsing sites like this, gigposters, expressobeans. Really anything that involves artistic creativity, including music, is what i enjoy because I am not good at it and dont get a chance to try it at the job. Also love trying new wines.

What do you do? What would you like to do?, by dave313perry on Nov 1, 2007 21:09:11 GMT 1, ok here we go...
Went to college to do a Btec national diploma in 3d design - Got 2 distinctions and a merit (A,A,B).
Decided i didnt want the debt of university so hunted for a job...
Im working as a graphic designer and digital print operator in Rubery, Birmingham. The company i work for design and manufacture gift products like birthday cards, keyring, namelabels, doorhangers notebooks etc etc, all very exciting!!! as well as the usual design company promotion stuff etc..
I also work with a screenprinter which is another side of the business and use a lrge format printer to create digital positives - which in turn create the screens, hence my knowledge of screenprinting!!! I also do the odd design jobs such as flyers leaflets the usual graphic design malarky (all sounds very boring but its actually alright!)
I also still have a large interest in the 3d product design
ok im gona sign off because im rambling... ooops
Id like to be an astronaught - always said that im gona travel to the moon, the way things are advancing i think its plausable
Peace
