"I’ve learned to take these extinction level events in stride and lean into my own instincts and interests and just keep putting one foot in front of the other. The most gratifying part of the job is that you never stop learning, you never have to stop getting better, and the journey to find yourself doesn’t stop until you close your eyes for the last time"
-Chris Koehler

A kind of dark but also kind of beautiful and hopeful quote about adapting to crisis events in the illustration world (stock, gig economy, gen ai) from an interview with Chris Koehler (one of my old professors who taught a web design class when I was in art school - can't help but be reminded as I pull this html and css from way back in a back closet of my mind)
