For sure. I've been listening to the app on my phone and streaming it on my computer hoping to hear a personality of some sort.

from what I've head it's all being worked on. This is a whole new group running it. Salaries have to be negotiated, contracts, the works.
I do the website and am on the economic development board for a southside suburb. I want to get them in on some of our events.
Take Care

Wow, you're really getting better with every piece. The detail in the jeans is really nice

Thanks! The guy offered me double the price, so I wanted to do a really good job on it. On top of that she is a popular DJ in Chicago, so hopefully this will lead to more work.
I just keep learning new things and getting faster at drawing. I guess not having a day job has its benefits!

So how much did you end up getting?
Yea, that's pretty much why I got good at designing. Because I have no real job, lol. I can't wait until you get a really nice tablet, though. I'm sure it's limiting a lot of your potential right now.

70 dollars, not very much I guess, but it is double what my advertised price is. What do you think I should be charging? I thought about 80 per drawing instead of 30-40.

Yea, your minimum should be like $70-$80. I'm not sure you'd get much more though, with the type of clients you attract from Myspace. When you have a portfolio up, you attract a lot more legit people, who actually have money. Plus it's a sort of marketing scenario, where they think your stuff is worth more, because you're all professional with your portfolio and whatnot.
Which by the way, I'm still working on it. I changed the colors and added wood textures, but there's still some more stuff that needs done. I've been so damn busy though, it's ridiculous.

Yeah, but how is anybody going to find my portfolio? Do you advertise or what? That DJ loved the picture and is having it made into a Poster, and a possible advertisement/billboard in chicago. If that happens, I will hopefully get a LOT more traffic and can start demanding A LOT more money. I guess quite a few people like that drawing
I can't wait to see the finished portfolio/web design you've made. Take you time, its not like I can pay you right now.

You need to socialize and join tons of communities, and make the biggest splash in the puddle that you can. The more places you join, the more people will follow you, and the more likely that you will find clients.
I'll submit your website to all the CSS galleries though, like [link] for example. This helps you get backlinks (people linking to your website, which helps your google ranks, for when people search). It's also the only source of my traffic, when I had my portfolio up, and I had tons of people contacting me about work back then.
I wouldn't have you pay me, but the coding will cost a decent amount. Maybe up to $400. Making it entirely in flash would probably be cheaper, but search engines don't recognize flash at all, so people wouldn't ever find you from searching, and most CSS galleries don't add websites that are entirely in flash.

Well maybe when I get some money I can pay for the coding to be done. But the way it looks right now, I won't have a decent amount of money until after x-mas. Hopefully that radio DJ generates some work for me.

I'm opening a theme website with a coder I know, and we're going to split everything 50/50. If the site gets some decent revenue, I'm sure he'd be glad to code your site for free as a favor for me, for helping him out.
We'll have to see, though.

Awesome, that would be great. Cause I definatly won't have the money for awhile.
