I think it is time to slow down

The first step is to lose the way. The next step is harder.

Before I joined DA I was going through a rather long dry spell. Since then I've been churning out quick pieces to get my creative juices flowing and scout out some new directions -- some of which were suggested by work I found here. Now I think I'm ready to slow down a bit and create some more careful, finished works. I'm also beginning to do a little weeding, shifting lesser Deviations to the Scraps heap. By the time the new Portfolio options are introduced, maybe I'll have a clear idea of what I should showcase. Thanks to everyone for your comments, faves, watches and even furtive glances. I am pleased to meet you all.

Shameless Self-Promotion, again: Just about everything here is available as high-res, gallery-quality archival prints on fine art papers, signed by the artist, for $35 or less. Simple, secure online ordering. Just send me an email at the link above, if you are interested.

For Life, Liberty, Love and Levity.

You sure have been a busy bee on here- it's been a treat to explore...
I think Senecal may be on to something with the workshop idea, I've been finding a bit of income coming from showing folks how to do things that I was once called crazy for being obsessed with- computers and Tarot mainly- hey, Tarot workshops have kept Jodorosky housed and fed for a couple decades now ;-)

But it is especially true with computer based stuff- if you can show folks how to do something on one of these machines, other than getting to the point of tearing their eyes out, then they will actually pay you ;-)
What's worked best for me is groups of 4 to 6 people- it's do-able- both in terms of getting that number at a time as well as finding space to do the workshop in- and more worth while than just a couple people. I usually just use posters and word of mouth to get clients/students, but have put the odd ad in a newspaper or magazine... Just some thoughts...

Best of luck! :-)

Why not open a new community for kids? I don't see anything wrong with parents submitting their children's art.
