Bill

I'm so glad you are doing your art again. You were great at it and your seps.

Speaking of seps one of my 4 new sites coming this year starts on Monday.

justseps.com for the printers that can do the art but not yet a really good sep.

all seps will be $35 to 50. and if need be films for $8 a color.

I will call you about it and see if you want some paying gigs.

Looks good to me Bill.

Now, let's see, do I have anything kicking around that I want to sell?   ;D

Thats really nice looking. Colorful and vibrant. Moody. it speaks to me. It says ....relax. Sit a spell. take your shoes off and dip your feet in the water.


I hear this coming your way.......

1,  I would like to have the high rez layered file for that at maximum print size please. (just for me to look at so I can see if you know what your doing.


2,  We always get the first job free so we can test out your services.


3, I would like you to make me two new designs just like this for $50.00 Thats all we have in the budget.  No, not each, total.


Remember you always said to me..."What the heck do you want to start your own shop for?"   Ha. 
What the heck do you want to start doing art for?

Your drawing of the girl in the stream, that was up for a while, was the inspiration for this. Thanks..

Ahhh yes, I've gotten all of these myself. Here's what I do in cases like these:

1,  I would like to have the high rez layered file for that at maximum print size please. (just for me to look at so I can see if you know what your doing.

Once a guy asked me to do that, I sent a full-size, layered SLICE of a file, actually a composite of two designs, 4 inches wide, sliced diagonally, showing just enough to see what I did, but not enough to actually steal. Also watermarked just to piss them off. Never heard from them again.

2,  We always get the first job free so we can test out your services.
I tell them I always get payment up front so I can test out your check writing skills. No worky free.


3, I would like you to make me two new designs just like this for $50.00 Thats all we have in the budget.  No, not each, total.
I politely decline and say, "I can refer you to someone who might be able to help" and give them your number. Did that guy call you yet, Dan?

  hahaha,.  Yes,  a few times.

I really have had all of those same questions asked.  You too I'm sure.
