So. I have had prints for sale for a few weeks now. not sold a single one. My parents are going to lose the house we all live in because i don't have a job and likely won't get one in time. I've posted on facebook and the forums i frequent that i really need the help of people buying my prints. and all but one person claim that they cannot afford a $1.30-$25 purchase. I am not asking you people to buy the $55 30x40" posters. just buy SOMETHING.buy a few 4x6s ($.50 a piece), a couple 5x7's($1.29/piece) or an 8x12($5), 9x12 ($7), 12x18($15) or, if you can manage it, a 16 or 18 by 24 ($25). I am NOT asking for your life's savings. Two to five dollars is NOT unaffordable. No, the 20% I get off of that one purchase will not help save the house. If you all would stop making bloody excuses as to why you can't afford $2, between the near 100 of you, it MIGHT be something. Every one i have watching me here is a friend, from the forums, from long lost internet connections, from real life. I know you. I know you all are poor. that's WHY i'm not asking for you to buy the 30x40" prints ($55, $110, $280). I DO know that $5 is not going to cost you food for a week. just a coffee or a pack of cigarettes. That's all I'm asking. One coffee's sacrifice. Is that REALLY so hard?
This is the only warning I'm going to give:
I am under challenge to start, FINISH and post artwork of ...meatier meaning. Things that reflect me. Things I deal with, have dealt with, adamantly stand for or adamantly stand against. These pieces WILL BE UNCOMFORTABLE. They are not pleasant. They are not pretty. They are not glories of color and character. They are dirty and hard and often painful enough that I have to take a tranquilizer to actually complete them, never mind posting them. If You don't like or can't handle art that does more than look pretty, do my prescription a favor, don't click the images. No getting butthurt about it not being comfortable and pretty, please, I am

since my last entry.
Most of that time has been spent jumping through one governmental hoop after another. Some of it has been spent getting certified crazy. We have 'discovered'* that my depression is largely affected by my anxiety, rather than the other way around, that I have ADD which contributes to the anxiety (there was a loud chorus of "Well, DUH" when I reported that news from my therapist to my household), that I have fairly severe body image ISSUES, that I'm actually a fair bit paranoid, and am much too busy looking/waiting for everyone to "act" on the hatred of me they MUST have to actually comprehend compliments, and that maybe i
Up.date.
While I'm taking a brief break from being happily, excessively busy in the artistic realm, I thought I'd do some updates here.
Let's see.... Jon and I are officially togethery again, meanwhile, other characters in this soap opera provide the romantic drama, I had a tumblr, I deleted my tumblr because this one....female decided to engage in some unethical behaviours for the sole purpose of specifically trying to get me to off myself. Apparently, without ever knowing this person existed, I managed to insult her and all of her friends until she just couldn't tolerate my existence and she decided to remove what she saw as the problem. (me.) I kn
Muro
I have tried dA's new art program Muro, and i must say, GIMPShop is still better. a lot of people have done fantastic things with muro. I can't figure how, but they have. Muro is free, but the brushes are extremely limited(as are options) unless you pay points for more.
If you want to get into digital art, but don't want to pay hundreds of $ for it, doodle on muro, do hours long projects on GIMPshop.
Yea, she doth accepteth commissions at minimum wages. Ye shalt scribe a note unto her and she shall giveth thee details.

I wish I'd known about the situation earlier but I don't know that I could've done more then; I'm not much better off. But I've done what I can to try and help.
