Most of my time I do custom designs for Camgirl.Cloud and usually works great.
I kind of avoid custom projects because I don't like the stress these projects come with, yea, money is good but so is mental health
Oh... I have so many "stories" I can tell you about collaborators, customers, clients and others...but let's keep it between "professional lines" :)
Over the years I've worked with hundreds of individual collaborators and companies from tripple X industry and my personal conclusion is simple
people need creativity and creations on daily bases. No matter what type of creation, music, film, design, painting, jokes, books... a bit of color and diversity to make this world spin in colors.
