My Worst Fear, Good News, and Sketch

My worst fear besides becoming old, fragile, and unable to take care of myself, is that I will continue to choose the path of my affinity for art throughout my life as a career, and that it will leave me poor and unsuccessful. What if taking the road less traveled by, really in the end, does make a difference. Frost never mentioned if the difference was a negative or positive one. I know that sounds very pessemistic, but where does one move to from being an artist at a small business apparel shop? It's not like a corporate environment where the path/ladder is obvious. My roadmap is my own to make... and it's daunting. (As a disclaimer, this fear only occurs every once in a while.... most of the time, Im optimistic about my future. )

Good news. The Twist Art Gallery where I consigned my t-shirts at is sending out checks for the holiday season sales. It's more than I was expecting. If I hadn't gone and splurged on some new equipment for experimenting, I would be near break even with a substantial amount of stock.

Youngblood is also sending me one as well, although I feel that the sales there were probably bleak, since I am not a native Atlantian and I am unknown there. I should probably consider having an art show there, if they were to allow me. Maybe something for later this year. Ill have to contact them... as well as have pieces to show.
