One of those days...

It is one of those days. Where the one thing you want to go right just doesn't. The experiment that was going to save my butt didn't work and now I don't know what to do. I almost wrote an entire entry about how science sucks and nothing works and don't believe anything scientific you hear. But I thought better of it. Just don't try to get a PhD in it. That one I'm totally serious about.

Pleasant Surprises


For ages I have thought that Adam ought to try to use his art as a source of side income. He is going to school so that he can get an art related job, but I thought what a better part-time gig than to try and sell art before you have to focus on feeding a family, right? It seems like a great time for experimenting with actually making money by using his talent. Well, today out of the blue Adam started an Etsy site. He just posted one thing. A print of the drawing he is the most proud of. He has five up for sale in his shop. He says if he sells a few that might give him confidence to try some more. Maybe even to produce new stuff. I am giddy with excitement. I can't believe he is actually trying this. Now if only someone will buy one of his prints. I think if he was able to get a little, confidence, and motivation ($$) then this might go somewhere. We'll see. For now, I'm not going to hold my breath. You can check out his Etsy listing at: http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=21764625
