First order of business, Go White Sox! Way to show those north-side asshats how it's done. Now, on to what I really wanted to talk about.

Why are you just taking requests and trades? - I want to make things. I want some practice. I want to have something to do that's not work, sleep, or eat. It's that simple.

But arent you broke? - Why yes, yes I am. I could use money (couldn't we all?) but there's a problem. I don't want to take money when I'm not 100% sure I can deliver, and quickly enough. Things go wrong here a lot. I would rather not owe more people right now, and would prefer things to be more casual. Plus, this will help my skills and time management a bit, not to mention my mood.

Aren't you selling yourself short? - To those who think this devalues my work, you're almost right. Ideally I want to sell t-shirts, stickers, and other oddities more than just drawings on paper. Cool shit at reasonable prices always does fine. I have some skateboards and drawing boards I'm working on when the weather is nice. So technically, it doesn't matter. If I do charge for drawings again, it'll still be damn cheap.

So that means you're going to (insert convention), right? - No. No plans as of now. I have some shit to work out first.

I might send something to an auction. If you know of a super badass charity that will benifit from a charity auction somewhere, let me know. Preach it, and I'll donate.

So how do I make a request? - Send me a note. Press that 'send note' tab above. Please don't just reply to a journal or make a shout. That's annoying.

What if I want the original? Or if I want to post it elsewhere online? Or if I want to use your design for (insert thing)? - Also send me a note. I'm pretty wide open about this. Just let me know what's up. We'll hack out details. I'll hook you up with high-res and non-watermarked stuff, or a written permission as necessary. Just please, don't be that guy. Don't.
