Recently, I've been unaccountably happy, no matter what shit blows my way, its not a fleeting happiness either, like the one that goes away when you finish your icecream, its genuine, warm, and wonderful... I know my place in the world, and I'm content with it, sure I can get upset, but now my worst days are ten times better than my best ones were six months ago. I wake up every morning and... well life just seems awesome, I can look in the mirror and be happy with what I see, I can wear what I want, I'm loosing weight at a rapid, but healthy rate... gee what else... Just got a new scanner/printer combo, traditional art is now viable, thought I am out of practice in it, expect a flood of old built up works that have yet to see the internet... oh gosh and there is more, I've apparently gotten stronger, I'm lifting and wielding my katana as easily as my bokken, I'm learning to sew, I got the box set of ouran highschool host club, a rather nice guarantied monthly income of $170. Really, though my mentality changed before my circumstances did, the really awesome things came along after I decided to be happy with where I was... hmm well either way life is awesome, the art is improving, and things couldn't be more perfect in my opinion

I dont know if anyone cares, but my advice is, take action against problems if you can, and dont worry with them if you cant, just so long as you dont whine to others for sympathy (not asking for help, dont confuse those) youre doing pretty well. Also... a major part is self esteem, my advice for that, is to wear a silly hat, doesnt matter which kind, I personally recommend an earhat, but thats just me.

As for prices, I'm sticking with my old standby method, I draw it and finish it, you pay what is fair, (above 2-4$ USD if its traditional, and above 1$ USD if fully digital) as for types of art work, inquire for specifics I'll let you know on base prices for varying things and tell you my limitations.
