Punk-A-Cat

26 Aug 07:51

mimi-min

I thought about looking on Reddit too

26 Aug 07:51

mimi-min

26 Aug 07:51

mimi-min

not enough for rent, but...

26 Aug 07:51

mimi-min

26 Aug 07:51

Punk-A-Cat

ask her to reblog once or twice a day, keep it in peoples faces, also there are tumblr groups for emergency comissions stuff

26 Aug 07:50

mimi-min

oh yeah, I'm still working on that album cover too

26 Aug 07:50

mimi-min

I always feel bad taking money from friends but I guess I need it so orz

26 Aug 07:50

Punk-A-Cat

:D

26 Aug 07:50

mimi-min

one from a friend but oh well LOL

26 Aug 07:50

mimi-min

Yeah, she did reblog it and I did get 3 commissions

26 Aug 07:50

Punk-A-Cat

it's always been screwed up, we just get to see it more up close with the internet now

26 Aug 07:49

Punk-A-Cat

well, try the commission thing, you never know your luck

26 Aug 07:49

mimi-min

Why is the world so screwed up these days lmao

26 Aug 07:49

mimi-min

but I kind of need a job urgently... as well as a place to stay while waiting for some apartment to finally grant me asylum

26 Aug 07:48

Punk-A-Cat

Oh yeah, the horrifying retail jobs.. I have panic attacks if someone looks at me the wrong way, I'd be the same

26 Aug 07:48

mimi-min

I still have nightmares about it > ___ < I feel like such a loser lmao

26 Aug 07:47

mimi-min

I keep trying to apply to silly places like Target and Walgreens too but ever since I basically ran away from my Safeway job in tears I can never bring myself to get more than halfway through the application without just scrapping it

26 Aug 07:47

Punk-A-Cat

if I can math? heh

26 Aug 07:47

Punk-A-Cat

working on the 1-3% ratio, that could get you 3-9 commisions

26 Aug 07:46

Punk-A-Cat

yep, heck, write up a commission sheet and get your friend to reblog it, and see if anything comes from it, worth a shot

26 Aug 07:45

mimi-min

and of course, absolutely nothing from anyone else

26 Aug 07:45

Punk-A-Cat

ughhhhhhhh

26 Aug 07:45

mimi-min

I got really excited because this guy who's running a vending booth at a convention in two weeks replied to my e-mail for a job that weekend.... I gave him the information he needed but he hasn't responded yet TT ____ TT

26 Aug 07:44

Punk-A-Cat

yeeeeeeeeep, I find scribbling, or finger painting, or something along the "no outcome, just relaxing process" lines helps, because the guilt of not making art doesn't help either

26 Aug 07:43

mimi-min

easy to drown out with "I should draw, I want to draw, I need to draw" but the white noise is still deafening haha

26 Aug 07:42

Punk-A-Cat

yeah external stress is so hard to deal with

26 Aug 07:42

mimi-min

oh yeah. Maybe that's my motivation killer

26 Aug 07:42

Punk-A-Cat

ack

26 Aug 07:42

mimi-min

"I can barely focus on art right now, I might be kicked out in a week"

26 Aug 07:42

mimi-min

idk. I think I just realized the root of my problem right now though because I was just about to complain about it LOL
