Like I know there's never going to be real job opportunities in this country, so I think moving to another country would be a thing to do, but I have been living on my own apartment for barely half a year and I've never set foot to a foreign country (I've never even had a passport) so the thought obviously makes me nervous since I can yet barely handle living on my own in the country I was born in, but then I punish myself for that because it's like I'm supposed to move aboard next week and I should have all of this figured out and ready by now.

It's normal for a lot of artist be a hermit and fear of the unknown like moving to a different country. Dpaint he's already established. I remember how Dpaint mention he took a gamble and moved out of California because of the ridiculous cost of living in some places. It made business sense to move to another state with lower cost while still remaining in contact with clients in the bay area. Ends up some of the clients who worked with him for year just abandoned him, regardless of him maintaining the same quality of work. Location can bring about fortune or famine.

This information is somewhat scary... But it's true, because people have different appetites. But I don't quite understand why familiar clients can part company easily only due to physical distance. As this is an internet era now, any verbal and visual communications on earth can't be disabled with the speed of internet and related super media. If the two locations span timezones too much, this is the significant factor of interfering the synchronization...

And another thing, I remenber Dpaint is an artist who is making considerably bigger money than what a normal salaryman can make anyway...
