Hello.  Last night I made $10, whereas the previous Saturday, I made $190.  That is quite a remarkable difference.
     Making money as an artist is not consistent, at least not for me.

     Anyhow, here is a photo I just worked on in my 'Fresh Paint' program on my new uber computer, and on my new wacom drawing tablet...

I think it is pretty funny.

Anyway, 

you can buy this

off of

my pixels.com

website,

or,

I suppose you can steal the image right from here.

Anyhow, to continue, I'm going to try the pixels sponsorship thing again.  I was having trouble putting it on one of my other blogs, and I don't know why, so I will try what works.

I'll see if this works.  

Later, it will be another night at the bar.  Hopefully, I can sell some more art.

So far, the peoplenet is still the best way for me to sell art so far.

At the bar Last Night

     Let's see....I sold this painting for $60....

     I also sold this pig drawing.....for $11....

     So, I sold $71 for the night.  That ain't bad.  If I did that every night, I'd be rich.

     It is hard to get people to pay $5 for an original napkin art, though.  Most people would rather buy a beer.

     Anyhow, I've been having fun on pixels.com.  I've sold ten things so far, and I've made $28.  It's not bad for a start.  I've only been on the site for two months.  These things take time.

     To continue, pixels has this sponsorship program which I am starting to like.  All I have to do is sponsor them on my blog page, and then they sponsor me on a page on their site.  That sounds like a fair deal.

     So, as I write this, I've posted their link.  When I am finished writing this blog entry, then I post the link to my blog in a box they provide called, 'Tell Us Where You Posted The Link'.
     When completed, I will have some of my art displayed on their 'acrylic paintings' page.
     Sounds good to me.

     Basically, as an artist, if no one sees your art, you don't exist.  So, every artist has to get their art out there before anyone can even decide on whether or not to buy it or not. 
     They can't buy what they can't see.

     Every artist has to make a choice....scrape by living in poverty while you work on your 'pure soul searching art', or make some extra money to help pay the bills.

     I don't know about you, but I've had enough of poverty.

     Of course, what will happen is people will call me a sell-out, but I don't care.  The people who say that don't have any money to spend anyhow.  Maybe they are just jealous.

     I work my butt off on my art, so I deserve everything I get is how I feel.
