I'm lucky enough that I have so many supportive friends and family, but lately, I posted dozens of doodles on ebay to raise some cash to help pay my Ivy-League student loan debt this month while I try to find a new job--the old one was killing me, and I had to leave asap. (* a funny aside, I just got a class action notice that the nurses are suing the hospital for the exact time frame in which I was employed, for not providing breaks, for not providing lunches, and for disturbing us on our lunch breaks when we DID get them...so I thought that was interesting.)
Anyway, I'm working on the redesign of my contact card today, complete with QR code to this blog :) but I wanted to share what I was so lucky to have sold--actual people who think my doodles are worth their hard-earned.
I was sorting through an old sketch book and pulled out a few old sketches from architecture school that I'll mat and list soon, as well. If anything, this has motivated me to be less shy about my work, and more willing to let it go.
A friend told me I was way underpricing my work, which is ok, because it's selling in volume. I will probably slow way down once I start working again. I'm waiting to hear from one hospital this week; keep your fingers crossed for me!
