You give me a drawing, you give me a prop to replicate, you give me a crane, scaffolding, parts from ‘Star Wars’

Getting paid less to work for people you like and believe in is much better for you (and your career) in the long run.

Any time I have an Internet connection, there’s a sluice of stuff moving into there, everything from beautiful rings to cockpit photos.
