Ugh.... Need help.

Sun Nov 2, 2008, 12:07 PM
  • Listening to: The hum of a busy library
Several of you have asked why I've 'given up' on art. I've actually been rather surprised by how many of you enjoyed my art, calling it 'nicely varied', and 'very interesting,' and even one "totally awesome" before I 'quit.' I've not given up on it, at all. It's just become a much more frustrating experience, because the most important tool of my artistic arsenal had to be traded in for rent and food: my Monitor.
As such, I've been using this old ViewSonic VGA monitor, which is half my age at 11 years old. It's done well for itself, but it sucks at color display, or allowing any kind of decent room to have my tools up in photoshop.

But now, it's died. It managed to display one bright horizontal line, a few pixels wide, the brightest I've ever seen it do, and then quit working all together.

For those of you wondering, I'm doing this message on my local library's computer, which is obviously unsuitable for doing artwork on... They just suck.

A dear friend of mine, who is just getting her own artistic momentum going, Serapheline, suggested doing this. She said a lot of popular artists can at least manage to raise enough money for a new monitor or tablet if they just -ask-... Well, I don't know how popular I am, but I'm definitely asking.

I don't know how to set up a donation button, any help on that would be nice, but if you're wanting to help out, and perhaps see more of my art (I -have- gotten better, I promise!), send a donation amount of your choice to: triaddraykin@gmail.com.

Thanks for reading, and bless your heart if you help me out.

Work: noun. The demon that pursues us all, sadistic in its constant need to draw us away from our pleasures.

Bad luck? Keep moving through it... Because there's nothing bad luck hates more then a moving target.
