re: First commission

Starve at $3/hr? Nonsense! You can eat rice and beans for weeks at those luxury wages. And finishing? Psshhhttt… You already had those few ounces of stuff laying around. Don’t deny that. You’re practically living in the lap of luxury from that piece, which, by the way, is quite handsome and should bring you enough referrals to add a neck bone or 2 to your pot of beans. So quit your bellyaching and lollygagging and go create some more beautiful things for sale. ;-)
