Its always 2-3-4 times a year. We get it, alright, your fiance sucks, your job sucks, you got laid off, you quit, you got fired, whatever cool I think thats the problem with this site, is that people make it a little too personal, sure I show off a horse dick or I give previews of stupid ez stuff and maybe we'll talk about albums we like this year. But what do you really expect us to do, there's tons of people on this site who need work just like you. But they don't make it public. Look at Greg Abbott, he cranks out shit all day, for no reason, just to make it, and I'm sure he sells some and I'm sure he's just as hungry and needy for work like you. But, he's not making a post about it. You're literally the only one giving the violin sob story. It's like going to a homeless shelter and asking them for for sympathy. It sucks but what are really going to do besides say "aww man that sucks" we told you once of the 5-6-7-8 (yay I'm counting daddy) times you've posted this. The time you spent doing that you could be job hunting online or something (just saying) Not trying to be a non compassionate dude. But this really is quite frequent. If I had a nickle for every time you posted one of these. I'd have some money to put in your cup 61261 Post 2009-08-05T08:24:08-04:00 1898101 782 2009-08-05T08:26:31-04:00 Damn son, "BURN!" hahaha I'm in the same boat, seemed like everything hit at once, but it'll be alright, just keep looking at least that's what I tell myself. haha 61261 Post 2009-08-05T08:34:35-04:00 1898351 10250 2009-08-05T08:34:35-04:00 what ez said. 61261 Post 2009-08-05T08:50:55-04:00 1898511 14 2009-08-05T08:50:55-04:00 <blockquote><cite>dobi said:</cite> what ez said.</blockquote> What Dobi said about what EZ said. 61261 Post 2009-08-05T09:17:19-04:00 1898701 1661 2009-08-05T09:17:19-04:00 The design market is at best crippled right now in terms of full time work.

I'd start hitting up old clients via email and seeing if they are looking for anything new. a forum would probably be the last place I started. best of luck. 61261 Post 2009-08-05T09:54:02-04:00 1899071 178 2009-08-05T09:54:02-04:00 <blockquote><cite>justinryan said:</cite> if you haven't already.

When things ever get slow I just hit up my clients and stay on their radar. That always seems to work. 61261 Post 2009-08-05T10:13:01-04:00 1899281 1661 2009-08-05T10:13:01-04:00 craigslist.org you could always get tickled on camera for a few hundred dollars? 61261 Post 2009-08-05T10:59:03-04:00 1900351 5570 2009-08-05T10:59:03-04:00 <blockquote><cite>justgeoff said:</cite> <blockquote><cite>justinryan said:</cite> if you haven't already.

Make stuff that you know someone would want to buy, so when someone comes your way in need of work, all you need to do is drop a type treatment on it and you have a piece to pitch. Client or no client, you should always be producing new work. Good luck. 61261 Post 2009-08-05T11:01:42-04:00 1900461 1025 2009-08-05T11:02:24-04:00 Do something different. I´ve noticed your last few tees haven´t got many loves. Change up the style and enter some comps. You might find you like it? 61261 Post 2009-08-05T11:05:04-04:00 1900521 2879 2009-08-05T11:05:04-04:00 <blockquote><cite>Kyle Crawford said:</cite>You're literally the only one giving the violin sob story.</blockquote> That's not true in the least. I've seen lots of stores and printers and artists posting the same thing. 61261 Post 2009-08-05T11:08:34-04:00 1900571 3028 2009-08-05T11:08:34-04:00 my last sub got picked for shirt.woot ... but i won't see that money for a month, my power is getting shut off TOMORROW. This is last ditch for me, there are no job's around here, I got laid off a month ago, I really didn't want to post this, and i really didn't want assholes to give me their opinion on why it doesn't work to not have a job. I've tried previous clients, I guess nobody out there wants artwork anymore. 61261 Post 2009-08-05T17:02:11-04:00 1909321 1087 2009-08-05T17:02:11-04:00
