Got something you don't need?

Good News!

I'll be stopping at Joanne's tomorrow to pick up some new fabrics to play with for making doll clothes.  I'd like to get a good variety of designs made in a couple sizes. (modern, punk/goth, sci-fi, lolita/victorian, and fantasy.)  Right now, my priority is basic/modern clothes and some out-there sci-fi stuff.

If anyone has some destroyed articles of clothing made from polyester, pleather, or other synthetic fabrics, please let me know.  I am interested in "rescuing" these types of garments and making something new from them.  I also take lace, leather remnants, faux fur, and smaller scale patterned fabric.

I am taking any of the following (provided they have been washed):
T-shirts
pairs of jeans
baby/ children's clothes
dresses
Halloween costumes  (these are great for me!)
ribbons (no plastic giftbox ribbons.)

*I am primarily interested in fabrics that can be worn.  Certain kinds of upholstery and decorating fabric are useable by me, but most are not.





I DO NOT need these currently:
blue denim
dark red, navy, or grey t-shirts

These lists are subject to the fluctuations of  my personal stock and will therefore change depending on what merchandise is currently on sale or in production.

Artwork samples

These are a few personal images you can use to get an idea of what I'm capable of.  Some are a little bit rough, but they're accurate to what you'd see for a $1 to $5 donation.



This one is somewhat older than the others, but whatever.  It's not totally ancient.  And I always thought it was adorable.

How Much It Costs

Special Commission Rates
$1 Donation Sketch
(Basically, I am in a bad spot right now.  "Would file for Bankruptcy if I could afford the Lawyer" bad.  Food stamps don't cover my student loans.  My cosigner can no longer afford to help me with the payments.  Honestly he's been an angel to cover them as long as he has.  I have until December to find a way to take care of them.  I am looking for a job, but I have been doing that for two years with no success.  SO, if you donate at least one dollar to my paypal account, I will draw you a sketch.  Donate $5 or more and you will get a full color up to 8.5x11.  If I can get enough to cover payments on my loans until I find a paying job, I will create an art tribute.)

Japan Relief Drawings
(Show me proof that you have made a donation to the Red Cross or other organization currently helping with Earthquake and Tsunami Relief and I will draw you something awesome.)  



----------------------------------------
Despite the best efforts of some, the world in which we live revolves around money.  As such, I do not work pro-bono.  It would be kind of hard to pay my student loans and eat if I did.  Hence why I am creating this art blog, which I will subsequently spam with images.

My prices will vary somewhat from one commission to the next, but here is the basic breakdown:


Regular Prices

Small*
Basic $5
Full $10
(I will define "Small" as anything smaller or less complex than a full 8.5x11 piece.  "Basic" is line art, simple colors, or digital work.  "Full" is a -duh- full color physical drawing mailed to you or picked up at a convention.)

9x12
Black and White $15
Color $20

11x14
Black and White $25
Color $30
(I /currently/ will not go above this size bracket for Digital commissions.)

Large
start at $40


Other
Mail Original or High Quality Print to you $5
Business Card/pamphlet/shirt $10 +whatever the Printing service charges


Digital pieces are currently restricted to anything below 11x14 because...well I frankly do not have an estimated production time for anything larger than that.  When I do, I will update with a price tag.
