First,
The fear of not getting any job after this one's finished (I'm freelancing so this is kinda constant ^^)

Second, still connected:
Low paying, the client's not understanding, but we need the portfolio, or worse: at the moment that's all the job we can get.


lack of time for personal artwork comes to mind but not that urgent

Working on projects you don't want to is the one for me... and maybe "It's a desk job (for some)" we also go free soda in the company. just not good...

Ish .... 5%... I'm always out of statistics :/
Deadlines are the worst for me, because creativity can't be motivated all the time, if the project is just uninspiring you, whatever you do... it's gonna be hard to hold the deadline.
And, if you love your project, the deadline is always too close.

Lack of respect for your wrok or craft, ending in complaints about your payment, which still is far from enough to pay the bills at least. If they think they can do it, why hire me? Enough of that, i still love doing what I do!
