No I'm kidding. I wish life were in that degree of happiness, though... okay maybe not exactly puking out rainbows but at least some sunshine for the flowers to grow.

But to the main point, I'm advertising my commissions again! Yay for shameless advertising! nojk. But really, I am in dire need of funds and I don't think I've quite explained exactly - or close to - why. I've run into a financial rut due to paying school tuition all in cash - didn't have too much of a choice - and I understand that most people would refuse to commission/donate for such a cause. But now that's not the only problem.

BAWLS I SAY. BAWLS.

I've been piled with bills from things signed in my name that I had no clue about - possibly due to a parent wishing to 'build my credit' and I am thankful that they wish to help, but... this isn't really help if I'm dead-beat poor and have no real income aside from these commissions.

And to top that off... My laptop's having a battery problem and I really need a new battery. School starts Monday and my laptop is rather crucial to my overall life + some. Doesn't help that I'm taking classes based on technology/computer use - such as 3D animation. I surprisingly do a lot with my laptop - and that also includes my art.

Not the most professional way to advertise commissions, but at this point - I think being straight up and out about my issue and dire need of money on a more informal base is best. I like my dA community and would rather wish to treat you all as friends/family rather than dudes in suits scoffing at my lifestyle and poorness. I'd appreciate any commission or donation thrown my way.

And because my friend is also in a financial rut, I'm advertising her since I love her to bits. Part of the financial rut we received together due to some of Life's grand bull-shittery.

She does a lot of amazing traditional artworks - and she's damn boss at icons, and seeing that there have been people asking me about icons, I suggest you go towards her way.

Just reading this journal in general, thank you all. It means a lot. I've been pretty stressed about this issue and I admit that this journal is partly just for me to vent.
