I’m sure I can’t be alone here but I’ve definitely not been paid for my art jobs before. BUT I’ve found a solution that cost very little and got me my full payment!

There was this one time I was owned money for an art project I did. I created the invoice and sent it to the collaborator. 30 days past and they didn’t pay me so I emailed them. They apologized said they’d pay me later that week and didn’t. This same loop continued for a couple weeks. Finally, I contacted the non-profit lawyers for the arts in illinois. Having the lawyer involved got me paid. Please don’t think just because you're a small independent artist that you don’t the power to be treated fairly.

My work provides an optimistic view of technology’s role in shaping our identity and relationships with each other. The subjects are strangers to me, just as they are to the viewer of the finished work. Being a visual artist, I use my eyes to learn about the person, and in the process find commonalities between us. Knitting (a form of binary code) is included because of its continuous flow of fibers that mirrors our interconnectedness as people. These pieces are created using new and old machines. Incorporating technology in the process reflects my life with metal implants; as I am a balance between organic and inorganic so should my art. #drawing #art #knitting #digitalart #digitalartforbeginners #artandcraft #artist #speedpaint #drawwithme #letsdraw #chill #relaxing #artprocess #digitaldrawingtutorial #portraitart #portraitartist #portraitdrawing #procreate
