I strongly believe in rolling with the punches, as seen in the image of me sporting a shiner.
That's also how I approach my creative work. I throw things at the wall 'til they stick and keep it moving if they don't. Working as an art director has taught me how important it is to be resilient, keep working, and tough it out—black eye optional.
If you want to talk more about my work (or what happened to the other guy) I'd love to hear it!
