I did need a break. In theory. But I ended up feeling pretty miserable most of the weekend, and guess what? The main reason was about the old chestnut itself: money.
Many things revolve around it. I don’t have much of it. I’d like lots of it. But hell, wouldn’t we all. I suppose if nothing else it has put me into a frame of mind where I’m fumbling for money-making schemes, and who knows, something might take off.
One idea that has been suggested is doing portraits or themed drawings of people if they send me a reference photo and some money. It could work. I seem to have a couple of potential customers. I was thinking of charging £10 for a normal(ish) portrait and maybe £15 for a theme piccy, depending on complexity. Pencil only, around A3 size. It’s an interesting idea and I might earn some extra cash off it—if you’re interested, well, my e-mail is on the main page of this site!
Not much else to say at the moment. If anyone has any good money-making ideas that might actually work, let me know.
