The last time I went through this - i was offered a public apology by DA - and it seems it's happening again.
How many stockers here on DA use purchased stock to create pre-mades?  COUNTLESS of us - yet I am the one to have deviations removed.

How many of you practice "Pay it Forward"?

It's where you do something random for someone - like for example - you're going thru a toll road - it costs $3.00 -- when you get the tollbooth, you give the person collecting tolls $6.00 and offer to pay for the person behind you...

Or.... you go into a restaurant, see a couple of little old ladies or men sharing a meal and nice conversation -- you take care of their bill anonymously....

It doesn't have to have money involved either - just any kind of random act of kindness is what counts.

So...I want to try something fun.

I've been getting so many emails from many of you wondering how to break into doing cover arts....so I figure it's best if I just do a journal. :)

First off, I've never solicited my work to publishers/authors - not once.
They have always approached me for the work... and it started a couple of years ago with my very first cover being "Light Beneath Ferns" by Anne Spollen.

I do not wish to discuss my rates - because it truly depends on many factors - i.e., where you are at your level of proficiency, the client, the kind of publication -- a lot of factors.
You have to charge what you feel is right for you.

A man I had the honor of talking to for 10-15 entire minutes - a short time that forever changed my life.

We have two winners for the kiriban!

Each got a one month subscription (because they were tied and in minutes of the other).
Their feature will be up later today.

Thanks!!!

News: I've decided to keep the kiriban as a standing thing -- so for every fifty thousand page views and screen capture - someone wins premium membership.
Now we await the 400,000th page view screen capture.
