I Burned Out And Left My Job To Find Something I Would Enjoy, So I Started Drawing T-Shirts For Nerds Like Me. What Do You Think?
I worked as a freelance brand designer since I was 15. I was able to take care of myself ever since. I loved the next 8 years. They were incredible. But when I turned 23, the bullshittery of advertising industry (at least here, where I live, Czech Republic) caught up with me. Day by day the fun faded a little away. On my 27th birthday there I was, burned out candle on a cake.
This January I decided to leave and start over. I didn’t know what I will do. The only thing I enjoyed was drawing illustrations of what I always loved — space, future, science and fiction related things.
Rick and Morty helped a lot. Actually, it was because of R&M, Firewatch and The Oatmeal I decided to get up, draw the prints I wanted to wear but couldn’t find anywhere to buy, dig myself out of the shithole full of debts I put myself in by selling them and draw once more.
Now I’m learning to screenwrite so I could merge it into creating stories like those guys. And hopefully to move to LA. I don’t know how it will go, but after last ashy 6 years, there’s a little fire in me again. It was about time.

I wish you don't find someone with neither a mind nor a soul; or one with a mind and not a soul.

From Earth To Mars

Earth and Mars! An endless journey of discoveries, theories and perceptions. It in itself is a rocket science.

Mars schmars. What lies beneath the waters of our own planet is far more mysterious and interesting.

Seems like the Mars is the new love of the humanity :) I'll tell you it doesn't deserve it, it's tough and hostile!

Love this, but I would make earth and mars with their actual proportions (it still works, I checked!). Extra nerd spice :D

Flat Earth Is Bullsh*t

it kinda looks like you're protesting the theory that the moon was made from debris from earth in its very very early "days" (which i believe is one of the most accepted theories of where it came from). is that what you're protesting?!??!

The layered planets (and dwarf planets lol) and moons are the best and most original designs. Excellent work.

Burnt out at 27 after 8 years in the field. Imagine being 51 after 20+ years in a field. :(
