a revision: in practice, nothing that somebody has paid me $30 has gotten that little money's worth of time. I would need to revise the "rules" considerably if I did it again, and for the moment I do not expect to.

One of those fashionable price box montages. I did make an attempt to enter pertinent data on my profile page, but whoever looks there? I certainly do not. And of course I don't have so many viewers here, but it is worth a try, I imagine, for the moment.

the short version: send a note or e-mail and tell me what I might do for you. I am not a whore. I am a courtesan.

The long version anyway:

I am presently (for a few days, anyhow) open to make small-time drawings in exchange for worthless greater American dollars. I need to vacate my apartment in a week and then travel a considerable distance and might not be available again until August.

If you think the rates are too low you are free to send extra. If you think they are too high you had best notify me of that before I draw anything!

These rates would be for digitally produced pictures of one primary subject each. multiple characters would be possible, however. The first, second and fourth types would have an abstract background whose nature I could not predict (or none at all). Types 3 and 5 can have more specific or elaborate surroundings (but if it would take me all week to do we might be better off discussing that when i get back). If you don't buy a background and I give you one anyway then I guess don't tell anybody.

Also, the types are imaginary. The idea is to charge for the effort. I "should" charge by hour but I have no consistency. Scientifically that makes me an "ideal fluid" but it is not good for somebody who aspires to be a real artist someday.

In any event, be as specific with subject matter as you like (pose, attitude, attire and whatnot).

I would prefer visual references, but if you can describe something without being a novel then I can probably work with it.

Before I took any money I would send a sketch for approval, and then you could suggest changes or wonder what you'd gotten yourself into and call it off
