Journal Entry: Mon Jul 28, 2008, 11:28 AM
Before I start this, I want to say that this is not some sob story about a starving artist and I'm NOT asking for a handout!
I need a bit of help getting prepared for the Phoenix Faerie Festival in November. I'm going to be a Featured Artist there and my booth is free, all I have to do is decorate it.
My problem is this:
I don't have the extra cash its going to require to get prints, tshirts, posters, booth decorations etc...basically all the stuff I want to sell at the Festival. I have about two months to get everything gathered up and I just don't see where the funds are going to come from.
I'm not getting very many hours at work right now and every penny I'm making is going towards bills and groceries and pets. My electric bill alone is $300 this month! I have a website but aside from one of my friends, no one has bought a print or commissioned me since it went up. =( I've also never gotten any commissions here on DeviantArt, though I have had many faves.
What I'm asking for here is for some of you (or anyone you know) to PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE buy some prints or shoot me a commission, so that I can afford to get what I need for my booth. This will be my first time at the Faerie Festival and I want to make the best impression possible!
I know the economy sucks (at least here in the U.S.,) but I don't know where else to go for help...tried asking my dad because he usually helps me with financial stuff but even he is broke right now.
Check out my gallery here or my website [link] If there's a piece you see here that isn't offered as a print, ask me anyway and I will get you one! I can do character art for you or draw you something else of your choosing, any size, every little bit will help!

I forgot to mention that I also sell coloring pages for $2.00 each and I still have a set of ACEO's for sale...they are $12.00 each.
Here is the [link] to my shop, go ahead take a look! =)
