Ah yes… how many times have I dreamed about having a flying unicorn as a client.
What a perfect way to achieve Lucid Dream
Well, this is not a fairytale. I’ve got about 20% of my logos approved by clients without any changes. And right now I am working on a project that was paid 100% upfront, though I was asking only for 30% deposit
Ha! That’s every freelancer’s fantasy… just kidding
Good one, can definitely understand what you mean.
It’s rare that we don’t have to make changes…I know I did with a few clients, asked for 2 revisions which really isn’t awful.
ahahahah
great
probably the best so far =)
HA! “and we pay early”….Love it!
This happened to me just once, but then the client didn’t pay!

sad
I’ve had this happen…and wouldn’t you know it…they thought of some changes right after proofs were printed and we were on a tight press schedule.
Of course.
Ha!! LOL. This is hilarious
Love the freelancer first face!
This is too funny!
No, it is reality… It goes to print… And mid print… The phone rings… Stop the press!
LOL is all I can say.
That flying unicorn holding a piece of paper would be a great logo for a writer. I would like it in more of a sky blue though. Thanks.
LOL! Charlie! Come with us, Charlie! We’re going to Candy Mountain!
haha! this one’s brilliant!
The sad part is that these are my everyday dreams!
Best one yea. Really got a laugh out of this one.
LOL. Spot on, as usual. The last frame adds a little kicker. Keep em coming!
@Laura-
I just have to say, so great that someone else out there shares my love of Charlie the Unicorn enough to reference him in a comment. Kudos!
“We’re on a bridge, Charlie!”
LOL! This design is great!
@ N.C – It’s too disturbing not to love! Watch your kidneys ;o)
has anyone seen the ‘Candy Mountain’ cartoon… anyway, if you think that’s funny this seems even funnier! great cartoon!
ah i wish!
Ah… the client of my dreams…
On a note: another annoying thing about working on an office, is that they give you any computer they have… runs so slow. Then they ask you to do this really artistic graphic and you can barely run photoshop. Making it crash every 2 minutes!!! ARGH!!!
(yes, I’m having that problem right now…)
lol that was actually nearly hit the spot, but sometimes if you get lucky, you wont need to modify your portfolio
This happened to me once, just a very small modification from an existing design, hehe and it finished it in only a few minutes, client paid in full =)
LOL!!! so funny, so true… =)
HAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAA..
So true, man!!! XD
