Move to New York, or Make More Money is the Solution!

Hahaha good reason to move back to old New York eh? Rents may be insane, but insurance is lowering LOL..I have to say, I'm not happy with the new system, only because I can't afford it, but I do support our president. Change is always hard. Give him some credit, he is trying.

I have been complaining a lot about how my insurance has doubled and I am getting worse coverage. It sucks, but the bigger picture is that this will even out, I have faith in the system and until then I will just have to make more money.

I am not licensing my art out and selling commissions to help solve this problem. I eat healthy, I am relatively young and never get sick, so I am thinking positive instead of negative.

I am not planning to move to New York, that of course is a joke. I love New York, but my boyfriend, the love of my life has a good job out here in California, and California has become home after 22 years with a few exceptions out of the state for school and work here and there.

Instead on focusing on what I can't afford I am focusing on how I can afford... whatever it is.

Being positive, and again, happy every single day that I am not the president.

And It Continues-This One Paid $.50 (cents) Per Drawing!

And it continues.. what is wrong with people?  "54 simple illustrations needed. Small files for web use only, either 300 x 300px square or 460 x 300px rectangle.Will provide font, sample finished product and detailed instruction sheet. Paying $0.50 per .JPG " yeah that's 50 cents!! I saw another one yesterday from New York area that is paying $4 per hour, isn't that illegal in this country, guess not.. I don't understand, a couple days ago I was approached to do someone's book. I gave him a fair price, meaning I quotes less than a day's wage per page and he replied back with insults saying he knows for a fact that illustrators get $5 per page, yes 5 bucks.. he is insane. What is worse is that he wanted fully rendered like hand painted work that would take more than a day.  This happens all the time. I don't understand why the value of an artist isn't valued anymore.  Look we can draw and you can't so pay us a fair wage!! I don'...

It's Been Awhile---Catching Up With Me

 So much to say and how to say it... so I'll just start with. Wow, what a year it's been.  I mean, could anyone have predicted all the shite that has hit us in 2020?  NO way!  I'm grateful for so much though, and one of them is the freedom to be able to have blogs (yes I have many) and the freedom to say whatever I want ---this is important.  I'm grateful that I live where I do and even though I'm not rich, I am healthy and live a good life. I do what I can to help others, I also have a loving husband and a Westie who I adore.  As many of you know that aside from blogging sporadically on here I'm a writer and an artist AND I work one on one with both artists and writers to help them in their careers. I've been doing this since 2006 (artists) 2010 (writers). The past few years I've focused on coaching writers as I became the queen of writing conferences and people were always hitting me up for free advice. I even started a YouTube channel CHECK IT OUT Thi...
