‘Tundra’ Cartoonist Chad Carpenter Reveals All

Hi Drew, What really stood out for me was the focus on the local market. It is quite easy to get press locally when you can position yourself properly and become the hometown “celebrity” artist running different local events and selling your products. This is an area I’ll be focusing on more myself this year.

Thanks for your feedback.

Paulson, thank you for listening and sharing your thoughts. I very much appreciate you spending your valuable time with us.

I don’t believe graphic design is a dying occupation. Like many other industries it is ever evolving and changing to meet the needs of todays communication landscape. However, it is up to us to figure out where we can provide the most value to those that need our services most. Therefore creativity must be applied not just in design but in the way you approach and position your business.

There will always be a place for those of us with the imagination and courage to apply both established and new skill sets in new emerging directions.

Make no mistake, new opportunities are sprouting up all around us. What is required of us is a new way of looking to avoid the blind spots.

We are dinosaurs only if we choose to view ourselves in that light. The only dying occupation is limited thinking.

I’m guessing there is a deeper reason you are so drawn to design beyond just the artform. Ask the hard questions of yourself. Find you true motivation, your bigger reason ‘Why’.

I look forward to sharing in your journey.

Aidan, glad you found the interview helpful. Though it’s unfortunate you found this post after the event had already taken place. It sounds like you could have gotten a lot out of it.
