Foreclosures, increased finance charges, higher APR's, repossessions, lay-offs, salary cuts, bankrupties--the financial woes of this country are enough to make a grown man cry!!However, on the brighter side, lack of money has forced people to tap into their creative juices for a lil entrepreneurial inspiration.
Isn't it sad how the most creative and artistically gifted of people are forced to let their talented gifts fall wayside because of life's circumstances?!?! The need to pay rent, bills and eat can easily override your desire to create and soon enough you find yourself working a steady 9-5 in the corporate world's rat race! Sometimes it can be years--decades even--before you realize how big of a hole you've dug for yourself and just like everything else in life that seems to come full circle--serious financial hardship forces you to shift your focus on 'earning' yet once again!!
With the workforce being so tight these days many creative brains are instinctively switching back into artistic mode and saddling up on that creative horse with determination, passion and fervor. Check out my friends at www.BigAppleTeez.com, they're living proof of the new American Dream!!!!!!!!! Their NYC inspired silk screens are fun, fun, fun and NY to the core!
Let their story inspire you!
Enjoy the photos...they were taken by yours truly!
