artist relief fund

, ,

added the paypal button... have high hopes

or look at the left hand bottom corner for paypal link.
at:
http://www.hungryeyegraphics.com


now let's see if anyone will help. if you help with more than $25 i will send you an original drawing from the link:
178 drawings:

several people suggested that i try this paypal button. it's very simple as a donate button.
according to paypal you can send a donation directly to my paypal account for any amount... even a dollar.

yes, this can definitly be considered to be begging. it won't be the first time i've been reduced to begging to survive. and as the mulla said "if i survive this life, i'll be surprised."

go ahead... give it a try... it'll only take a minute.

if i could just get my nose above water with a little help from everyone, it will be a miracle.
don't worry... it's anonymous. i won't broadcast any names in a flurry of gratitude.
i will blog on the success or failure of this last ditch effort.

i've worked my whole life as an artist for next to nothing. now i am sick and cornered and can't afford to be alive.

just send one dollar even...

Some people just don't know how poor artists can get, and how bad they get payed or how they get cheated because they're not business minded. Good work! Good luck! yes

... and if Henry Miller can do it, you can too! smile

Hi Scott,
oh yes, an artist-life is a hard life, unfortunately. cry
But your try to go a new way is interesting and I wish you good luck and a lot of success!!! up

thanks elke, for the pep talk.

since i did this radical thing, things have been getting better.
maybe this was a kind of prayer to the universe to take
the 'no money' curse off of me.

i must say i was surprised... not overwhelmed... but happily surprised.
