Update: I didn't want to push the commissions off the journal just yet. BTW, I still need more commissions, so if you can't pay for one at this time, please, at least tell people about me. I'd like to think I can put out decent quality for what I'm asking for. Anyway, onto the news.

The documentary I worked on two years ago(I'm listed under GhostFX in the credits) just won a Gemini Award. For those who aren't Canadian, the Gemini is an award for the television broadcasting industry here in Canada. Tiger Spirit won the Donald Brittain Award for Best Social/Political Documentary Program. I've watched the documentary myself, and I found it very interesting. I believe I've linked it before but I'll do it again: [link]

I know the posters(with my artwork) were all around Toronto at one point and I know it's been through several film festivals, but for some reason I can't really get myself to feel all that excited about it. I mean in most cases, artists are only recognized by other artists, it's not like music or film where everyone knows who they are. Besides, a job's a job, you do it and you get it done, you move onto the next one.

I'm just sick of arguing at this point. Let's make this as short and to the point as possible... don't judge me based on my age, gender or nationality. I am not you, so don't treat me as if I have your same quirks. I've had people trying to be armchair psychiatrists, put me in stereotypes where I don't belong, and overall it's bothersome to have someone tell me how I am, when they don't really know me that well. I'm sorry, but you don't. I'm not naive, I'm not how you speak of me, in fact, I'd wager you've made up what I'm like in your head. Don't put words in my mouth, don't assume, just take me for what I am and go from there. I don't need to be patronized. This isn't to everyone, of course, this is a little more specific but I'll leave it at that. I'm just a bit tired of being misunderstood by people who take me out of context.

Also, has anyone read Lone Wolf and Cub? I don't normally read comics, but I think it's probably one of the best comics ever written. It's not cheesy, it's not too over the top, it doesn't try too hard to be meaningful. It's just a very honest story.

Because I'm poor(when haven't I been?) and I need to at least make something before my medical bills get heavy. OHIP doesn't cover everything and taking expensive medicine is not fun, but I need it. I've done well with commissions in the past, and where I am, part time jobs were hard to get before the recession. I don't deal well mentally with any job that deals with handling money upfront(the doctor told me to quit because I was having break downs and have gotten worse mentally since, that was five years ago.) and I have a hearing issue with taking in information so I can't work at a call centre either(number one reason why I hate phones and ventrillo.) And at least art is something I know I can do and leaves me enough time to do the math out on paper(can't do it in my head, I have to prepare my change before I even buy something.) It's not about anything else right now, I need to deal with the meds first. At least something to get back in the swing of things, and I'll see if I can get more jobs. At least therapy is covered.

So I'll do 15$ commissions, full colour, but speed painty-ish. Only take paypal, note me with details.

I'll see if I can get at least 5 slots.
