I just wanted to tell you that I'd ...Hey Lady!<br /><br />I just wanted to tell you that I'd never have the balls to even do roller derby... so you are a super badass in my book! <br /><br />As far as the frustrations of freelance illustration go. I feel you 100%! It can be soul crushing to feel rejected again and again... <br /><br />But honestly, your work has gotten better and better!!! I'm sooo envious of your drafting and digital painting abilities. I think its all about getting your work infront of the right people. At least thats what I keep telling myself and then I go back to drawing. Anyways, keep at it!Jesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17590198299429380659noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4143177297088938216.post-83036438885678973332013-03-07T05:45:25.762-08:002013-03-07T05:45:25.762-08:00Ah, Jeebus, Dolly. Now you're making ME cry. W...Ah, Jeebus, Dolly. Now you're making ME cry. We totally were kids- We were both only 18 when we started doing this! It's strange and awesome to think that most of our transition into adulthood has been guided and informed by roller derby. <br />I was really psyched to hear that you were going to skate again. I think B.A.D. is going to be a good fit, even if they root for the wrong football team. Rock on! I can't wait to see what you do.Alison Blackwellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11180728862195052515noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4143177297088938216.post-26741019872881033322013-03-06T16:49:23.359-08:002013-03-06T16:49:23.359-08:00This comment has been removed by the author.No Namehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17545787152698728998noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4143177297088938216.post-17057839724974321562013-03-06T10:25:33.515-08:002013-03-06T10:25:33.515-08:00I know I'm a sucker, but thanks for making me ...I know I'm a sucker, but thanks for making me cry.<br /><br />I feel you, girl. It's hard to find new motivations to keep doing the same thing year after year, especially when it just seems to be getting harder. You were one of the gals that recruited me to play derby, and here we are 9 years later on opposite sides of the country still plugging along. <br /><br />I often think back to the week we watched Mean Girls on repeat and sewed our Mob uniforms together. We were FUCKING KIDS, man- and that was a pretty formative experience for me personally and as a derby skater. Derby nor we will ever go back there, but that doesn't mean what we have ahead isn't just as valuable on our little journey. <br /><br />It's been secretly inspiring for me to think about you still skating; your tenacity and drive is something I could never even pretend to have. I'm sure that's annoying to hear, but basically what I'm saying is, you're a more fully formed and inspiring person than most. Keep rollin'.<br /><br />DollyR.dollyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12768192622814183582noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4143177297088938216.post-64000085446073706762013-03-06T10:00:05.485-08:002013-03-06T10:00:05.485-08:00Good god, this is amazing....you are amazing!Good god, this is amazing....you are amazing!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15502860011997120403noreply@blogger.com
