Over the weekend I picked up this book shown above. It offers allot of help for designers on how to price their services. Their is also allot of other interesting information and resources like help writing a contract which is mega vital in life.
Some of the prices they suggest seem like they’re geared more towards old dudes who’ve been in the game for years and years, but it’s still nice to see how much one could and should make whoring out your drawing arm.
Check it out.
P.s. a shirt I made for TDWP is on the front page of merchnow.com 
Dear Smash Brothers Brawl:
Hey whats up? It’s been real cool having you staying at my house the past couple of weeks. I can’t believe we hung out for like, six hours on Saturday. It was nuts.
I hope you don’t get creeped out by me wanting to spend so much time with you recently. I know I just met you not to long ago but, well, I feel like we have something special together. I mean, I think about you when I’m at work and can’t wait to get home to see you. Like last night, when my buddies and I were all taking turns playing with you and you didn’t seem to mind… It was really cool. You even let us do some stuff to you I didn’t know you could do before.
I think that’s why I like you so much Smash Brothers Brawl. You’re so versitile. I can be with you for hours and it’s never the same thing. It’s like you know EXACTLY what I want. You’ve made my Wii VERY happy.
I’m not sure how Popeye, a stroke survivor (check his face) and aficionado of spinach, a food that I’m pretty sure I’m allergic to, has managed to emblazen his name on a chainstore that sells chicken. However, he has managed to weasel his way onto a product that will blow you down. It sure is tasty! While Popeye’s chicken will not grant you the temporary ability of super strenth, the kind to thwart Bluto as he tries to kidnap and rape your girlfriend, it will grant you temporary fullness and satisfaction for a low price. Best of all, one has opened up here in Pittsburgh, right in the Southside. I haven’t been able to make it out to this local one due to a severe leg injury with a wheat thresher, but if any of your people out there in internet land has, please share you’re experience. I’ll gladly pay you tomorrow for some chicken today.

Sorry I haven’t updated in the last week. I got swamped w/ some projects, then I took off work for a couple days to visit an indian shaman to help improve my freethrows.
Seeing as how Jackie, KP, and Aaron suck at posting, that meant this blog was D.O.A. for the last week but I’m back now with some more personal gratification.
Anyways, in every single Hot Topic in America, you can go pick up a new shirt design I did for the band “The Devil Wears Prada”. Here’s what it looks like.
I guess you could just go on Hot Topic’s website and check it out, but Spring is here, so get out of the house and get shopping. This looks like a job for Legal Tender!

I’ve had an I-Mac for almost a week. A better performance I did seek. Crashes, freezing, and shut downs are a thing of the past. I can finally surf the net w/out being kicked off at last. My mouse’s click wheel also scrolls from the left to right, so I can navigate poorly design myspace pages all night. I have a desktop pop up that alerts me to new mail. It truly succeeds where my old PC did fail.
Some of you might be thinking, You can have email alerts and a mouse wheel that scrolls left and right on a PC too. Well on a Mac they come standard moron, so go eat a brick and F U.
If I had to compare my IMac to a food, I’d probably say a cheese stick. You don’t really eat them to often, but when you do it’s always a kick. Also, the fun factor (due to peeling off the cheese) makes the overall experience worthwhile. I’ll be rockin’ my Imac for quite awhile.

Recently I did me some design work for a company overseas. Because they can’t mail me cash money American, and they don’t have a paypal they offered to do a Electronic Funds Transfer.
An electronic funds transfer is the fancy name of what you do every time you swipe your debit card at the store, except you’re not actually there to do any swiping.
The person giving you the funds will need your Bank Name, bank address, routing number, and account number.
The routing number and account number can be a confusing bitch. Here’s how to find them. Whip out one of your personal checks and check that bottom left corner. There will be three groups of numbers. The first group is your routing number, the second is your account number. The third is your check number.
Now, you may be thinking that if you give someone this info that they will be able to steal money out of your account. Not so. Think about it like this. Every time you use a check, the person you’re giving it to has that info. Every time you use your debit card, they also have your info. Frankie says relax. Maybe you should take his advice.
Anways, you hook them up w/ this info, and pretty soon you’ll be livin’ so large w/ all that extra green deposited directly into your account.
Word to your mother.

This is the ONLY time of the year where you can enjoy one of the best seasonal treat combos this side of the Mason Dixon line!
I’m talking of course, about dipping a fresh Cadbury egg into a McDonalds Shamrock shake.
Normally, and throughout the rest of the year, I avoid McDonalds like the plague. 85% percent of their menu is made of food whose main ingredient is feces. The shamrock shake however, is unique in that feces is actually it’s eighth ingredient. The Shamrock shake is of an Irish dialect that is imported here only during St. Patricks day times. With each sip, I swear you can taste a hint of leperchaun.
The Cadbury egg is constructed from a rare breed of rabbit found in Central America. These rabbits reproduce asexually in the form of eggs. Chilano farmers then harvest these eggs, dip them in chocolatte, then their tiny little children c..a..r..e..fully wrap each one in tin foil so they don’t crack as their being shipped to your local gas station.
I recomend leaving work right now and picking up a couple dozen cadbury eggs and a few shakes to go along with them as this is the only time you can get both. What are you waiting for?
GO!
