Desktops are a convenience, in a sense that you can readily look into your files without being connected to any online device; so I can understand the why some people tend to just leave their written and art materials in there. But this isn't the time to be too lax, as hardware is proven to be increasingly fallible. Better plot for contingencies and go with cloud storage, then.<br /><br /><a href="https://1ixllc.wordpress.com/2015/09/29/the-importance-of-data-security-and-how-managed-it-services-can-help/" rel="nofollow">Katherine @ 1iX </a> Katherinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12464280946637605826noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-982281341151034537.post-53333042346556750572015-08-13T12:02:39.540-07:002015-08-13T12:02:39.540-07:00Great post as always Mary.

At the moment I have a very small studio which is actually just the spare room, but I love it because it's my own space to be creative. It also has a great view and all my lovely succulent plants so it has a really good, light, airy, fresh feel to it. However I wouldn't say no to the studio you have described! Nor to the chocolate, the 2B pencils and adoring public haha. For me I would mainly like an epiphany for Christmas, to help me know which path to take after some confusion in recent months over which design area to focus on. That and a really massive corkboard I would like to put up on the wall for all my ideas and inspiration :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-982281341151034537.post-2337050853882512482014-06-11T08:14:58.053-07:002014-06-11T08:14:58.053-07:00Thank you Christine.

Which is likely more often than when they are! :)<br /><br />You'll have to produce when you feel like crap, when you have no inspiration, when you are annoyed with others, when you're tired, when the phone keeps ringing, etc., etc.<br /><br />Ideal conditions in my studio seem to happen once in a blue moon, so flexibility is the key and the ability to shrug off annoyances, and just work when and as I can grab the time.Jeanette Jobsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08935974758134419990noreply@blogger.com
