I’ve written about:
- How a craft evolves
- Getting good until the differences are imperceptible
- Making a living at anything
- And getting hired as a comedian (this applies to other fields too)
All of these things taken together come to the conclusion that choosing to start doing something and getting really good at it creates opportunity for yourself. I can’t think of anyone who illustrates all of these pieces together better than TinyMachinery on Etsy.
As an engineer and a father, I love this artwork. They post new stuff on reddit and instagram all the time. If you told your parents, “When I grow up, I’m going to draw tiny machinery for a living.” they would look at you as crazy. Yet, here were are, with someone doing exactly that.
TinyMachinery truly is in the illustration business, for their products, and for the concepts I write about here.
TinyMachinery, you do great work! Keep it up!
