Ah, I dunno. I'm just hoping to hear back from something new soon. This one just don't cut it anymore.

Yeah that's fair. I wish I had a job but I can't get one.

Well you've also got your classes still right? Not like you can help that. So that's understandable. Maybe you can use your art for that in a way by starting commissions online. Instagram or Deviantart maybe could be some of those to try! Of course it something temporary to help get by while you still have classes.

Yeah I have a full schedule with the classes. Even this summer I'm taking another internship and a summer course. I have debated taking commissions but I'm always worried I'll take too many or take too long on getting them done, or that no one would actually commission me. It's funny you mention that though since I was actually just discussing this with someone else! XD

I do have stickers and such available on RedBubble though.

Well I tend to dabble in thoughts that are helpful while taking into consideration things that would potentially block others from doing what they want. One way to help with that. Only take on a few at a time. Also knowing you can't go into it expecting a huge turnout the first time you release them. The more you showcase your work, the more it'll start to spread. You may even only have one commission the first time. That's not bad and don't let it get you down! It's better than nothing. Heck, I'd even start it out pretty heavily discounted since you'll just be starting.

This way you don't take on too many and you don't discourage people from at least trying. Also making sure to note that due to classes and other unforeseen events with travels. Some commissions may take a bit longer. Maybe release a chart with something like Trello to show anything you're working on and what stage it's at.

Above all else, it never hurts to try...

I should start taking my own advice...

Hmm yeah that's some good advice. Having this talk with you and a couple other friends, it's made me lean more towards taking a couple this summer. Or at least trying to. Thanks!
