If you have been waiting patiently for more info on Mickie Quick, let me tell you I am working flat out on this TV show. I am throwing my all at it. For the effort and hours I am putting in, the pay is truly crap. However, I made a decision a while back to make the most of this project as an unprecedented opportunity for me to do my thang in front of a large national audience. Now, there are always institutions who bank on paying people poorly for their highly valuable creative efforts in return for the vague carrot on the end of a vague stick about it being beneficial to one’s “career”. I believe that promise can go on forever until an artist starts putting their foot down to make sure their generosity is basically sustainable. The more commercial the institution the more one should do this. Having said that, there’s a cap on how much the show wants to spend, and there’s a much higher cap on the standard of my art that i want the nation’s couch potatoes to see. So i am putting in some serious overtime to make sure the devil is in the detail.
The next two or three episodes to go to air will demonstrate what i mean. The HAVE YOU PAID YOUR TROLL sign was a last minute lightbulb above my head, and i worked til the wee hours to get it done in time for the “hit day”.
Anyways, hold tight, in a month’s time i will be out of a Guerrilla Gardener’s job, and will have plenty of time for shameless self promotion.
