This is what I do…
This is what I do… Well, just thought I'd show you guys what I do for a living. I used to work for a company where I did automotive designs 90% of the time but, I changed jobs about 4.5 years ago and most of the stuff I do now is logo oriented. Every once in a while I'll get a fun design though. Here's a couple of t-shirt designs I did this past fall. 
Yes. My degree is actually in Illustration but, there aren't a lot of "9 to 5s" for an illustrator so I make a living a Creative Director/Designer. Every once in a while, a job comes along that requires custom illustration.

what skool did you go for designing. Cus in about a year and half im going to transfer to Art Center for transportation design, and that art center also offers other designing programs and one of them being illustration.
I went to The University of Tennessee. I received a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Illustration/Graphic Design. Design is a HUGE field and most the jobs out there are very specific. So, my advice is give it a lot of thought and decide what field you would like to work in. Then find an accredited school that offers that program AND has a career placement program so they will help you find a job when you graduate. Don't forget to find out what their placement percentage is. Then go for it and bust your ***. 
What program(s) do you use to illustrate like that? I also love to draw and paint, but haven't done any computer illustration work.
I'm good with Photoshop, just never messed with illustration/drawing on the computer.

But, this is work stuff. When I do "real" illustrations it's with watercolor and colored pencils.
I also did a little photography in college, and I love to do that. 
Hey, I just wanted to show you guys what I did at work. This was basically a Christmas present to myself. Although, I did give my mechanic and paint-n-body guys a few of these as well. Whadaya think?
