I guess this is the month that determines whether all this devotion to painting, to building the guild, and all the blogs and facebook forays will be worth the trouble or not. I feel I still need a full time job at some point to make ends meet without having my mother or family bail me out time and again.
I also feel that the acrylics I use today are not the same as how I used it in even just months back. It's more like using it like watercolor, and exploiting it's forgiving nature as opposed to the finality and no-going back nature of pen and ink. Pencil is still a great forgiving medium, but if one feels that pen and inks do not pay a lot (black and white), wait till you use pencils. Unsprayed with fixative, or left open to the elements without any coating or glass to protect it, pencil will wither away.
So, it is 26 days and counting, and my site isn't even up yet - that's basically a Hannah and Rudy problem. She simply has too much going on with her school, personal life, and side jobs, although I must say she is the sweetest thing coming out of Ateneo. A great writer and programmer, I have cast my lot on her to help propel my site, and my Art. therudedude.com, or theruddude.com is my ticket to the big leagues, more so than the aforementioned facebook and other social sites.
Let's hope it ends up a great month.
