everything is free now.. that's what they say..
Everything I ever done,
Gotta give it away.
Someone hit the big score.
They figured it out,
That we're gonna do it anyway,
Even if doesn't pay.




to all the artists out there..

Portland, OR bound soon.. to see if I would like to live there and work on my zine, bookmaking love.. maybe even get into woodworking.. for example in Portland there is a Independent Press Resource you can pay a yearly due and work there at any time .. in Austin you have to pay 200 dollars for a day for working in a printshop and upwards to 300-600 dollars for a studio.. .. so live/create housing would be interesting to find... like where you can use dremels and throw paint in your living space

if anyone has any other regards to add...
like where do you feel that organic artists should live (by organic I mean that I am not creating for a concept in a gallery, just freely creating what flows from within.. I conform to no style and most certainly I don't really wish to be some high profile artist who sells at 100,000 dolla a painting.. although if someone wanted too I would be able to enjoy not having a job for a while.. but that's not my goal or priority.. I just want to be able to live.. and make art.. to do that you need to make 25,000 to 28,000 a year on art alone.. you may say that's cheap.. but I can more than survive on that sorta money right now...

.. please don't recommend NYC.. too big and too fast for me..
