On the non sequitar topic of theft
-
This is in response to the 3 point perspective patreon freebie on "Can I make Money as an Illustrator"
As someone who recently had all their possessions destroyed due to bed bug protocols and I believe crossed wires from "the right hand not knowing what the left hand is doing," there is liberation in the knowledge that a lot of theft/destruction is either accidental or inadvertent. And it's never fun to think suspiciously of people. The reason not to hold onto such ideas is healthy mainly for you.
There are times I remember things going missing, the most notable was a Wacom Pen. I swear my then 4-6 year old niece took it..still think so to this day. I never asked about it though. I just got a new Wacom Pro pen. And here's what I like to think happened.
My niece loved spending time with her uncle and loved his art and thought that perhaps that weird pen he drew with had magical qualities, so she swiped it, and in some box somewhere she has it.
More likely though, I inadvertently somehow threw it away.
