Welcome to JAWC v2.0, now with 20% emo! 10% less than last time! First things first - I HAVE AUCTIONS UP... Jocelyn Framed Portrait Drawing - Ink with Grayscale Ink wash Nezumi Framed Portrait Drawing - Ink with Colored Pencil Geez... I don't know what the hell's going on anymore... I've relisted the two portrait pics... hopefully someone will like them enough to bid on them, otherwise next week, I'll take them off the auction area and put up something new... the CD is slowly selling, but it seems I'll have a hefty stock come AnthroCon... which reminds me I have to buckle down and work like a madman on the portfolios... Good News and Bad News... I did get a job... so I'm now busting my hump trying to eke out a meager amount of cash that will hopefully pay for my travel TO the con... however they didn't want to give me full time... or even part time for that matter... as an example.. they wrote up a schedule for next week... next week, they'll only be giving me two days of work and only 9 hours total over the course of those two days... needless to say this isn't enough to substantially cover my expenses for the convention... which really sucks... so I'll be selling more CD's next week alongside whatever I can auction off... Next week.. yeah, I know.. everything is "next week" and the reason for that is that I'll have the majority of the week off as they don't want to let me work except for two days... so next week, I'm thinking of putting up several pencil drawings for auction as a set of 5 pics and sell it for $30.00 for the lot of 5 drawings... I think it'll entice and people will bid... if not, I'll try again with another set of 5 pics... and well, until the time comes that I can't sell anything and I make my trek with whatever cash I have on hand to journey to AnthroCon and beyond... so I guess I'm really getting at is that I need help from you, the viewer... but not in some cheesy PBS fashion... I'm not giving away tote bags or other crap... I don't really know what I can give back to you people... however if you want to access the FORUMS and let me know what you might want as a graphical present for a certain quota achieved... I'd greatly appreciate the ideas and comments from that discussion... It's down to the wire, and I hate that things are getting overly hectic... I feel as though my whole world is crashing around me, and although I know I'll be safe from the main debris... it's the errant objects that are cutting and bruising me, and it sucks... for once... I'd like to come out fairly unscathed... but it seems I'll have to take the cuts and deal with what I have and hope for the best overall... - Tiki Man
