This work makes me not want to bother, let alone get out of bed and turn my mac on.

It kinda makes me question, I go all out for my clients for what they're prepared to pay. Would this one guy do all this INSANE work for Audi for free or next to?
Everyone I know who's worked for MTV says they pay next to nothing and expect awesomeness, it's just not sustainable for someone like me.
What does everyone else do in terms of this kind of stuff? EG does this KXX wizard deliver illustration work like this for half the price of what I'd charge for a worse illustration because he oozes way more talent or he spends 100 more hours on it?
Also, designing to impress designers doesn't always pull work or fill your pockets. Designing for clients does though, even though it's not always the best portfolio work.

these guys aren't really designers in the traditional sense, more in the 90s lets play with Adobe sense
- +1000...albeit a good understanding of color.hellogoodbye

Meffid I think you are over-reacting. Its just someone who has a very good sketching hand and a penchant for graphics novels. He has spent all day every day drawing stuff, scanning it in and adding colour and type in the standard generic '08 graphic style. Hardly any of that work is real work for the real world.
- For sure. It's one of the better collections I've seen lately though.meffid
