considering pursuing an apprenticeship, but...
I have a few concerns.
I studied animation, but the industry sucks right now and it's not necessarily the kind of work environment I'd thrive in, I realised over time.
I much more enjoy doing illustrations. I love tattoos, love trad and antique styles. I live in a small town with very few quality tattoo shops. There's one artist I'd be happy to get mentored (and tattooed) by, but I don't know if she'd take an apprentice due to some stuff going on in her personal life that got in the way of tattoing.
With that in mind, I don't know how I'd approach finding an apprenticeship... moving elsewhere is out of question as my fiancé is at a crucial point of growing his own career.
Not sure what to do in this situation. :/ Travel? Don't know if I can afford that.
