IT'S ME!!
I went out for a "high tea" day for mother's day to my mother-in-law's work, which is a REALLY cute cafe down in the fabric district of our city. They seem to be fairly new, and it's a REALLY friendly atmosphere, with the employees / frequent customers pretty much like family. They stock a lot of local merchandise, including floral arrangements, paintings, photography, other teas -- and make their own teas / pastries in-house!! They even have mis-matched china cups, saucers, and teapots -- it is SO FREAKING CUTE!!!
Anyway, turns out, they need a part-time barista, and I'm family to an employee / available, and was thinking about trying to find a job anyway... SO, I'm going down to work on Wednesday. The plan right now is for me to work two days a week, which is doable, and luckily I only need to take one bus to get down there! (It's a bit of a walk to get to that one, but that's fine.) They're going to train me how to do it, and it's not a super crowded place, which is EVEN BETTER!! I'm pretty excited actually! Apparently they've been trying to figure out how to do espresso art but haven't quite gotten the hang of it, but my artsy fartsy ass is totally going to do my darndest to learn how. >:3
So, what does this mean for my artwork??
Well, depending on how things go, I may or may not be taking commissions as frequently. I was already kind of thinking about switching to either 3D modeling or fursuit making as opposed to drawing as my main form of income, but if this job works out, then I'll probably stick mainly to drawing / 3D modeling as a secondary source of income. Fursuits will remain on the backburner, and I'll likely stick to premades as budget permits as opposed to taking commissions for those. The fundraiser events will probably be cut down, since I won't really NEED the money so desperately.
So... YEAH. Idk. It's early in the morning, and I'm EXCITED!! I wanted to get this off my chest / let y'all know! @w@
