I've been strapped for cash lately so I've been taking gigs of the Digital Webbing job postings. I feeli like I'm officially an art prostitute now. But I have to make myself go out and do it every day. It's like I have to be a pimp and a whore at the same time!

Whore Dean: Please, Pimp Dean, don't make me go out there tonight. I'm still sore from all that coloring I had to do last night!

Pimp Dean: Don't talk back to me, ho! Get out there and show off them inks o' yours.

Whore Dean: Please, daddy! I feel dirty and cheap! I thought you loved me! Come on, let's go home and I'll draw you a picture. Don't you want me to draw you a mini for SPX?

Pimp Dean: *SMACK* You shut your damn mouth! You gotta get me that cash, ho!

Whore Dean: *sob*

...

Okay, sorry about that. Haha.

The thing that gets me is that people actually post 'no-pay' gigs on here! Who responds to that!? It ain't like ho's is just out on the street cuz they really like sex.

I totally want to draw a bunch of pictures in Michael Turner's style and build a separate website for it. Then I can respond to post like this:

"looking for mike turner like artist to help develop a fantasy style comic. any and all charaters are welcome. the job is non-pay but 50/50 on all profits and costs"

AND COSTS! WHOO-HOO!!

i still do none pay gigs to not only keep me busy but to make me better and learn to work with an editor type persona. pay gigs rule mind you but none pay gigs are like free advertising and learning.

I do the occasional free work, but I've gotten so freaking slow over the last few years I can't really afford the time for it any more. I used to be able to knock out 4 good pages a day, and now I struggle to finish one good one. I can still do 2 lousy pages a day, though.
