What sort of work do you do? Will things pick up again soon?

I'm a "graphic designer" and things may pick up by the end of summer....but I'm fighting and fussing to pay down my heating bill from the winter and other dumb dumb purchases. I'm gonna have to dig up A LOT more freelance and quick though!

SHIT!

I've always thought there was a huge untapped market drawing icons for people's LJ accounts.

The problem with the LJ-icon drawing business is that many of your competitors are giving it away for free.

But I love your art, Mrs.P. Have you considered selling originals, or, maybe better yet, prints and tshirts and whatnot?

I'll send you $50 for that page of bee sketches I asked you for, for my tattoo. Or $50 worth of stuff from your Amazon wish list, if you prefer.

box i do occasionally sell originals, usually in odd locations and usually i will sell out of the smaller works but the bigger oil paintings are usually $400 at the cheapest so it's not so easy to sell those...

not that i want to either.

i'm gonna go home and crawl in a bottle!

pyramid sceme!

I would so buy a print.

Mrs.Pants - do you have a pointer to your work? I remember seeing your sketchbook (which I loved), but I don't think I've ever seen any of your larger pieces.

It's times like this I wish I had a skill I could make extra cash with. Besides whoring myself out I guess.

Mrs. Pants -- your work totally freaking rocks.

I too would buy a lithograph or a print.

Clicky thing for those who like links.
