you are welcome.

now all I need to do is to take my own advice!...

Dalia, I completely understand your quandary with "productivity" being "too slow." I'm tortoise-like in my art production. And, yes, the on-line world is indeed an opportunity, an opportunity I have yet to fully take advantage of. Thanks for your insight.

hey, Steve, I'm also in the process of becoming a self employed artist now, and in the last 2.5 years I've focused on 'making stuff' to sell. my problem is that I take too long for each piece, and then its price becomes too expensive and almost unrealistic, but I don't want to work 'for free'. so lately I started 'shifting' a bit towards 'quicker' and more affordable art, like prints, (but trust me to manage to complicate the process of making each plate, so my productivity is still too slow for my liking)....

BUT the good thing that we have on our side now, as modern artists - is the 'on line' world. (and I'm not telling you anything u don't already know ):  we are no longer limited to our town/city or even country. we have the whole rest of the world inside a box with a screen on our desk... so that's where I'm aiming at, and I'm sure your stuff will have very loving followers and fans. think of Japan for one: they go crazy for everything recycled, and that's a lot of what the assemblages are all about!

that's it. I'll shut up now...

Thanks, Dalia. On the art front I'd love to do it for a living--but wouldn't all of us?

...and what about the second half: did the boy that was u - grew up to fulfill his dreams?

Thanks, Dalia. Haha--no, the boy is not me. Just some kid's picture I found in my ever-growing stash of vintage photos. Ironically, my wife thought he looked like me too.

is that little dreamy boy - you?   if it is - I hope he grew up to fulfill at least some of his dreams, including the one he probably didn't even know he had: being the clever and talented artist that u are today.
