Things are going well. I have several books in the works and I like the direction of 80% of them. I am making progress on figuring out how to illustrate a children’s book using a Cricut cutting machine (an item I thought I would never want to own) shapes that I will collage onto the pages. I have purchased a ridiculous amount of type, both metal and wood, and feel creatively rich even while financially poor. One day in the next 10 years I will retire and I will not be able to spend money like this, unless I somehow find the gumption to use some of my precious free time to build a business that can replace my current job.
Speaking of jobs and self-employment, does anyone actually make money selling art? I mean without feeling like they’ve sold their souls to commerce?
