Best Street Festival (2000)
The Southwestern Bell African-American Arts Festival
Oh, what were you expecting, the Westheimer Street Festival? The Houston International Festival, with its overpriced gyros and male Carmen Miranda impersonators? They may be the largest and most popular street fests in the city, but this modest weekend get-together should be rightfully recognized. For a couple of days last October, a few blocks on Holman Street were filled with the usual suspects: street vendors, food stands, a corporate booth or two. But they also had some fine live music performed by the likes of D.R.U.M., Step Rideau & the Zydeco Outlaws and the Sebastian Whittaker Trio. And Project Row Houses, which organizes the event, featured some intriguing art displays inside each of its shacks. (One house had a pile of coconuts on the floor and a big yellow sign on the wall that said, "Guess how many coconuts are on the floor and win a T-shirt.")

Bedtime can be a stressful time for many children and it is frequently a problem area for parents who are left feeling harrowed by the whole experience of battling with upset children who will not stay in their beds. Autistic children are particularly vulnerable to disturbed sleep and difficulties in getting to sleep in the first place and can frequently develop sleep disorders.
Some autistic children typically do not produce a level of the hormone melatonin at the right time of the day to aid them with feeling sleepy and able to wind down before bed. This can have the consequence that you are effectively trying to persuade a wide awake child that it is time to go to sleep which will never be easy. Problems with understanding why it is time to go to sleep can also arise as the concept of what happens during the day and why can confuse a child with autism. Double beds may help as the child can spread out and get comfortable, and also create an ideal area for relaxing with a parent to read a book or talk.
A routine is always a good idea as autistic children do not benefit from constantly changing daily patterns and definitely have no room for surprises in their lives. Incorporate an effort to wind down with books and maybe music as they head for their beds, and a warm, relaxing bath is also a good idea. Be wary of the potentially negative impact of caffeine, additives and sugar and make sure you avoid these foods and drinks. Keep everything calm as well – an over-stimulated autistic child will not sleep peacefully.
For more information visit the National Autistic Society website and if problems persist to the detriment of the whole family then seek professional medical advice to support you.

A fin de evitar malentendidos pongo en conocimiento del público que yo no soy yo. Yo, hace ya bastante tiempo que dejé de ser yo para ser Marcel Proust (siempre me encantó Proust). Si alguno de mis enemigos se empeñase en afirmar que yo soy yo, no le den crédito alguno, pues ya saben ustedes quién soy yo. Muchísimas gracias.
[In order to avoid misunderstandings I inform the public that I am not I. Quite a long time ago, I stopped being me to be Marcel Proust (always loved Proust). If any of my enemies persevere in claiming that I am I, give him no credit, since you already know who I am. Many many thanks.]
—Virgilio Piñera/Witold Gombrowicz, Victrola: Revista de la Insistencia
OF ALL THE CHARACTERIZATIONS OF VIRGILIO PIÑERA (1912-79) AS THE CYNical and virulent writer, the friend and mentor to younger Cuban writers, or the reclusive quasi-invisible figure of his later years, none is more appropriate than his own "yo no soy yo," written by Piñera and/or by Witold Gombrowicz (1904-69) during their years of friendship and collaboration in Buenos Aires. Piñera endured throughout his life the stamp of a poète maudit, one who by necessity "se ha apestado a sí mismo" (has made himself fetid), a designation he once applied to the Cuban poet José Alvarez Baragaño (1932-62), but that seems equally befitting Piñera's marginality ("El caso Baragaño" 1992, 11). Bitter and ironic, his self-deprecating words reveal the complexity of his character. Indeed, self-definition through negation marks some of Piñera's most memorable writings, as if reaching the essence of his inquiry required a process of denial and rejection. Irony, black humor, and the use of the grotesque operate as codes in Piñera's poetry and narrative. In his essays, however, the process transcends self-definition. Calling into question the existence of a national literature, some of Piñera's essays emerge, collectively, as an urgent appeal for a new formulation of the sum and substance of Cuban culture. It is a new formulation that urges the inclusion of difference as its most salient and defining element.
Piñera's rejection of anything that could be called a national literature was especially provocative. It appears for the first time in 1955 when, after his long exile in Buenos Aires, interrupted by only occasional trips to Cuba, he returns to Havana to take part in a series of conferences that coincide with the launching of the new journal Ciclón (edited by Piñera with José Rodríguez Feo as its publisher). "Cuba and Literature" was the title of Piñera's talk delivered at the Havana Lyceum on February 27, 1955 (and subsequently published in Ciclón in the same year). While the title of the lecture suggested a connection between Cuba and its literature, Piñera argued that literary production exists in Cuba but that it is not of Cuba. Cuban literature, Piñera acknowledged, exists, but only as a catalogue, as a mere listing of writers, books, literary journals, and so forth. The vehemence of his tone is expressed in an unequivocal denial:
Niego que haya tal literatura cubana ya que día a día sufro esa terrible muerte civil del escritor que no tiene una verdadera literatura que lo respalde. Niego que la haya porque todo se conjura para demostrarme que estoy muy lejos de ser un escritor. Niego que la haya porque ella es incapaz de demostrarme si soy un triste loco o un magnífico escritor. Niego que la haya porque ella no me da fuerzas ni me ampara en mi oficio . . .
[I deny there exists a so-called Cuban literature given that day after day I suffer the terrible civil death of a writer who lacks a true literature to support him. I deny that it exists because things conspire to show me that I am very far from being a writer. I deny it exists because it is incapable of revealing to...

That I had to leave!
The room was ok. It had room for two double beds and a desk and barely enough space to move around them. There was no view from the window as we were on the side of the building above a courtyard but it was decently lit. It was also clean when we arrived but in our three night stay there, it was not cleaned once! The staff does come to the room to fix your bed and change your towels but the sand we brought in with our flipflops from the beach the first night stayed there. So I guess they only clean between guests. We had a problem with the bathroom door which would not close properly. The hotel is a five minute walk from the beach so it was in a great location.
Friendly staff, clean rooms, centrally located in south beach.
Free shuttle is poorly organized. Look up a picture so you know what to look for at the airport. Does not have hotel name on it.
The staff were absolutely amazing!!!! I would give the staff 50 stars if I could. The location is absolute perfection and they have free happy hour for guests. The decor was my absolute favorite. You are on Collins so you do not have the crazy loud noise like some of the hotels on Ocean.
I was really sad that they didn't have a pool.
I loved the location and the fact my room was very clean. Additionally, the staff was very nice and courteous.
On the morning I checked into the hotel I reserved the free shuttle service back to the airport. However, the employee who submitted my reservation failed to inform me the shuttle did not operate during the time I was scheduled for pick up. Without warning or prior notice I was informed about the error as I checked out on the morning of my departure. Unfortunately, I had to pay an Uber partner to drive me to the airport.
Location was conveient, cheap.
Service lacking: 45 min wait for a reserved room at 6pm, 2 beds when one requested, staff unattentive, constantly on phone, floor slippery, AC leaking, no hand soap, "view" was of service alleys.
No food
Walking distance to beach.. Happening area around the hotel... Lots of places to hang out and have fun
Noise in the hotel.. Couldn't sleep properly ... People keep talking and music is loud all night.... Very small rooms..
Read their website. We stayed on the first floor and the music from the DJ and drummer in the lobby was so loud between 7pm and midnight that we could not hold a conversation in our room without yelling. Housekeeping took our dirty towels but never gave us clean ones, we had to ask for them. They also never made our beds. The free happy hour from 7-8 for hotel guests was a nice touch.
every single thing
that i had tocheck out
Location and free airport shuttle
Although the location was good, the facilities were incredibly poor. This shower would not stop dripping, the bathroom door would not close properly, the room was not clean, the staff was rude and the DJ noise was so loud that we could not sleep in till about 3 in the morning. And even then it was still loud. DO NOT waste your money on this hotel. You will not get rest at night!
The bed was comfortable.
There was loud music coming from the lounge until 1 AM. There were no hangers in the closet. We were charged for items in the mini-bar which we did not use. We would never consider returning to Whitelaw Hotel.
The Hotel was pretty and clean and in a great location.
It was full of young adults that wanted to party. The noise in the halls was loud and continuous and went on every night we were there even after security was called. It was very hard to sleep. Because of this I would not recommend the hotel to anyone who isn't planning on partying all night long into the morning during their stay.
Adorable hotel! We felt like we stepped in to a unique designer magazine. Perfect location just a block from where everything was happening...resturants, bars, the beach, but far enough away from it all that you could get some sleep. .
Sounded like an insane deal until you added in the high $25 tax and then $32 for parking for the night. There's no parking at the hotel . We parked 5 blocks from the hotel at a parking garage.

Jamie went through a tough transition after leaving the Marine Corps. She lost interest in eating and had trouble sleeping. Her mom noticed her weight loss and urged her to find support. Jamie began seeing a social worker and a psychologist and found ways to overcome stress and anxiety, which improved her sleep and appetite.
Erin's weight loss was a sign of stress
Getting back on track through therapy
Treatment works and recovery is possible
Finding the right therapist for you
Do you have days when you just don't feel like eating? Or, maybe you are binging on food some days and not eating much on others. Have you noticed a loss of appetite because you're feeling blue? Or, when you feel stressed out, do you turn to food to make yourself feel better? These things can be signs of eating problems, or even an eating disorder.
Although everyone experiences stress or sadness at some point in their lives, people respond to it differently. Some Veterans may find that because they feel down, they are having trouble eating. Others may find the only thing that makes them feel better is eating, but then they feel more upset later for overeating.
"After talking to my counselor, I realized I was eating food as a way to get comfort. It wasn't until my counselor pointed it out to me that I saw my eating issues were really related to how I was handling stress."
These kinds of eating habits may be responses to stress from events experienced in combat, other military situations, or civilian life. Sometimes, personal or work-related situations are connected to eating problems. If left unchecked, eating problems can affect your health and the way you feel about yourself, and could even result in unhealthy weight loss or gain. Other times, eating problems are related to other issues that should be addressed, such as chronic pain, guilt, depression, and problems with drugs.
"Eating fast was a survival skill when I was deployed. I would eat massive amounts of food without thinking about what I was actually putting in my body. It took me a while to adjust to eating normally when I got back. I really had to concentrate on my diet – something I'd never had to do before."
Talking to your family and friends can be a good first step. You may want to talk to them about your symptoms. They may be able to provide support and help you to find solutions for your eating problems that are right for you. If you need to lose weight, having someone to support you in making healthy choices can be very helpful.
Every day, Veterans who served in the Army, Marine Corps, Navy, Air Force, and Coast Guard connect with proven resources and effective treatments for eating disorders. If eating problems are affecting your health and well-being or getting in the way of your relationships, work, or daily activities, you may want to reach out for support. Consider connecting with:

Eating problems could be a sign of other health conditions that need attention. This website will allow you to search for VA programs located near you. If you are eligible to receive care through the Veterans Health Administration, you can enroll in one of VA's treatment programs.
Vet Center
If you are a combat Veteran or experienced any sexual trauma during your military service, bring your DD214 to your local Vet Center and speak with a counselor or therapist—many of whom are Veterans themselves—for free, without an appointment, and regardless of your enrollment status with VA.

Sharjah airport preparing for spike in summer flights
Sharjah International Airport will see an influx of 200 additional weekly flights as airlines commence their summer schedule, the airport has said.
The increase in weekly flights will come from a mixture of commercial and cargo operations including Sri Lankan Airlines, Qatar Airways and Saudia Cargo. Runway repairs at Dubai International are likely to be adding to the rise in numbers. The number of flights out of Dubai International is dropping by 26 per cent until July 20 due to capacity constraints with some airlines, including Jet Airways, shifting to Sharjah International.
"Sharjah International Airport is gearing up to meet with this new demand, both with regards to resource and infrastructure. Recently, the airport appointed 100 passport control officers, and opened 20 additional check-in counters to ease the travel and immigration formalities, as well as providing additional temporary gates to ensure the smooth and fast completion of the procedures," stated Ali Salim Al Midfa, Chairman of Sharjah Airport Authority.
Sharjah International reported an eight per cent increase in passenger traffic over the first quarter with 2.25 million passengers travelling through the airport.

Article: Hybrid surfactant-templated mesoporous silica formed in ethanol and its application for heavy metal removal[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: With cetyltrimethylammonium (CTAB) and tetramethylammonium hydroxide (TMAOH) as hybrid surfactant templates, a mesoporous adsorbent (adsorbent C) was synthesized in ethanol via the integration of "One-step" procedure and "Evaporation-Induced Self-Assembly" procedure. During the synthesis, TMAOH served as the subsidiary structure-directing agent. Adsorbent C exhibited higher pore diameter (centered at 6.1 nm), BET surface area (421.9 m(2)/g) and pore volume (0.556 cm(3)/g) than the other two adsorbents only using P123 (adsorbent A) or CTAB (adsorbent B) as the surfactant. The adsorbents were also characterized by XRD and FTIR spectroscopy. The adsorption of copper, zinc, lead, iron, silver and manganese ions on adsorbent C was investigated by contrast tests with adsorbent A and B. The experimental data showed that adsorbent C possessed better adsorption properties than the counterparts. The order of adsorption capacity for six metal ions was Mn(2+)<Zn(2+)<Cu(2+)<Fe(2+)<Pb(2+)<Ag(+). The kinetic and thermodynamic properties and the regeneration capacity of adsorbent C were also discussed.

ABSTRACT: Modified pectin cross-linked with adipic acid, was synthesized and used for heavy metal removal from wastewater. SEM and FTIR were used to investigate its structure and morphology. The modified pectin had a rough, porous phase covered with carboxy groups, resulting a high adsorption capacity. And at the room temperature, the saturated loading capacity for Pb2+, Cu2+ and Zn2+ reached 1.82 mmol/g, 1.794 mmol/g and 0.964 mmol/g, respectively. The results proved its potential application to remove of the heavy metal.

I agree with Gary
Roundup should be able to kill this off, not sure if it is available in France. You need a weed killer containing Glyphosate which will be taken up by the plants and kill the roots. It only works when the plant is actively growing and may take a couple of goes if the foliage is dense. I would try cutting down all the foliage and then in spring next year gong over the new growth of weed killer.
The ripening banana gives of ethylene gas which helps the tomato to ripen so not sure that just the skin would have the same effect
I have put a ripe banana on the growbag my tomatoes are growing in and they have now started to ripen. Worth giving it a try.
Check the base of the plant as I have problems with vine weevil grubs eating the roots of my sedums
Why not try out both ways? Use the ones that have bolted for freezing as they won't keep so well and dry the others off.
Some of these are quick growers so you could get another harvest this year. I have just sown my third batch of beetroot and will probably harvest them towards late October, depends on the weather.
You shouldn't use it for potatoes again to avoid disease buildup. What I do is refill the bags with soil from my veg plot and put the used compost there to replace what I have just taken. I add chicken manure to improve the fertility.
I'd pick them as they ripen, cook them and freeze for use in sauces later in the year. At least that way they don't go to waste.

Weekend Preview: Big-time visitors at OSU
Marc Givler
Fresh off landing the nation's No. 2 recruiting class, the Ohio State coaching staff is not simply taking a break and celebrating a great finish. Instead, the staff will host some big-time unofficial visitors this weekend from the class of 2014. Below, we take a look at the loaded list of visitors that are scheduled to be on campus throughout the weekend.
O-line well represented
It is imperative that Ohio State signs a big class along the offensive line in 2014. With one already in the fold, the Buckeyes would love to wrap up a couple more early on so that they can focus their efforts down the stretch on a select few targets.
Two of the biggest targets for Ohio State at the position will be on campus this weekend in Chicago (Ill.) De La Salle product Jamarco Jones and Lancaster (Ohio) product Kyle Trout. For Jones, the 6-foot-5, 285-pound prospect will be making it a two-day affair as he will arrive on Saturday, spend the night, and then leave after taking in the Men's basketball game against Indiana.
An interesting note on Jones is that he hit a growth spurt during the fall. Jones was in the 6-foot-3.5 range back in the summer which brought up some questions about whether or not he had the build of a true tackle. Now standing much closer to the listed 6-foot-5, those questions seem to be answered.
With Trout, he will once again make the short drive to Columbus from Lancaster. Trout has said that he had originally hoped to take his time with the recruiting process but after recently picking up an Ohio State offer, his time table may have been moved up. This is definitely a situation to watch over the weekend.
Peach State duo
While not all of the Georgia prospects that were originally scheduled to make an unofficial visit this weekend will make it, there are still a pair of big-time prospects that are expected. Among them is Cedartown (Ga.) running back Nick Chubb. The four-star prospect already holds more than a dozen offers, including schools such as Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Michigan State, Ohio State, Penn State, and Tennessee, among others.
Tyrone (Ga.) Sandy Creek product Demarre Kitt also expects to make the trip north, and like Chubb, Kitt is closing in on 20 offers already. Kitt is an early high four-star prospect by Rivals.com and is one of the top wide receiver prospects in the nation. Kitt has put Ohio State among his favorites along with Clemson and Oregon.
Migrating south
A pair of big-time juniors on the defensive line will make their way south to Columbus from Michigan this weekend in Southfield (Mich.) weakside defensive end Lawrence Marshall and Detroit (Mich.) Loyola strongside defensive end Malik McDowell.
Marshall, a 6-foot-4, 205-pound prospect, already holds 11 offers including one from the Buckeyes. Getting the athletic pass-rusher on campus is a good first step for Ohio State as they look to try and land a few big name prospects from the state of Michigan in this class.
McDowell could be the top overall prospect in the Midwest for the class of 2014. The 6-foot-6, 292-pound prospect is an early high four-star prospect by Rivals.com and already has offers from all of the heavy hitters in the Midwest. This one is shaping up to be a classic Midwest battle with schools such as Michigan, Michigan State, Notre Dame, and Ohio State all involved and getting McDowell down for a visit is certainly good news for the Buckeyes as they try and make a move on one of the nation's top defensive linemen.

Peralta, Tigers sting Red Sox
|Boston Red Sox's David Ortiz, right, is congratulated by teammate Mike Napoli (12) after hitting a solo home run against the Detroit Tigers in the fourth inning of a baseball game in Detroit, Thursday, June 20, 2013. (AP Photo/Paul Sancya)
DETROIT (AP) -- Jhonny Peralta hit a two-run homer off Andrew Bailey in the bottom of the ninth inning to give the Detroit Tigers a 4-3 victory over the Boston Red Sox on Thursday night.
Boston led 3-2 when Victor Martinez drew a leadoff walk off Bailey (3-1), and Peralta followed with a line drive over the fence in left field for his seventh homer of the year.
David Ortiz homered and drove in a tiebreaking run with an eighth-inning single to put Boston up, but Drew Smyly (3-0) replaced Phil Coke for Detroit and prevented any further scoring by the Red Sox. He struck out four in two innings of relief.
Detroit improved to only 2-19 when trailing after eight innings. The Tigers are searching for answers with their bullpen, but on this night it was Boston's closer who faltered.
The Red Sox wasted a nice performance by John Lackey, who allowed two runs and seven hits in seven innings. Koji Uehara pitched a perfect eighth, but Bailey didn't get an out.
Joel Hanrahan, Boston's top choice to close, is on the disabled list.
Tigers manager Jim Leyland said before the game he would use Joaquin Benoit as his closer in light of Jose Valverde's struggles, but that point became moot. Jose Alvarez allowed two runs and five hits in five innings in his second big league start, and Detroit's Luke Putkonen got five straight outs in relief.
Then Leyland brought in Coke, the left-hander who has struggled against right-handed hitters. Coke struck out the left-handed hitting Jacoby Ellsbury to end the Boston seventh, but he walked switch-hitting Shane Victorino and right-handed hitting Dustin Pedroia to start the eighth.
The lefty-swinging Ortiz followed by pulling a base hit to right to give the Red Sox the lead.
Boston's relievers couldn't hold on. Peralta, who is having a fine season with the bat, connected off Bailey to win it.
Alvarez, who held Cleveland to a run in six innings in his major league debut earlier this month, handled Boston's lineup reasonably well, but Ortiz went deep in the fourth for his 15th homer of the season, a solo shot to open the scoring.

And once inside take a deep breath and prepare yourself for an unforgettable underwater adventure through some of the world's most amazing waters!
Paultons Park
Paultons Park is the theme park for families that has more than 60 wonderful rides and attractions included in one admission price – that's what we like to see!
The gang at Splashdown must have the best day job in town! Whenever a new feature opens at the landmark water park on Poole's fun packed Tower Park we review the site, and they all grin and invariably tell us that they have been trying out the ride – brilliant – remind me to come back as a water park owner!
The Bournemouth International Centre
The Bournemouth International Centre (BIC) and Bournemouth Pavilion are jam-packed with entertainment and there really is something for everyone!

Look, I made x by GlancoJusticarWatch
©2013-2016 GlancoJusticar
Fluttershy don't like x. X scares Fluttershy.
XD I love this! <3
Would x happen to be chaos?
if you changed the angle so they are looking at the screen it could be like
Discord: "look, I broke the forth wall. I told you Pinkie's not the only one who an do it"
Fluttershy: *same face she has now*
That would be funny XD
Discord: "Look, I did a thing!"
Fluttershy: "You...most...certainly did...o.O"
Hey, I can see you colour your work digitally, but the lines seem traditional.
I'm probably wrong, but did you ink it on paper and scan it?
You're wrong.
"Look, I made a jig-saw fresco of me, you, and your animal friends! Just like you wanted."
"W-w-WHAT DID YOU DO TO MY HOUSE?!"
"Well, I had to get the raw materials from SOMEWHERE..."
Fluttershy is simply afraid she might get banned again for whatever Discord brewed up.
In fact, she's been banned 20 times already in the course of 3 days; said bans all occurred after she pacified Discord, of course.
"I shall call it..."
For some reason, I'm imagining a giant statue of himself made of something horrible and sticky, and he made it inside Fluttershy's house.
The best part is that's totally something he'd do. Like maple syrup or something and it falls apart when Twilight busts in.
Ergo, getting maple syrup ALL OVER Fluttershy's walls, and floor, and ceiling... and Angel is stuck to it, slowly dripping from the ceiling, until he just falls onto the equally sticky-floor with a PLOP, and then one bubble pops out of the syrup.
Sorry, I create scenarios. I'm a writer. It's what we do. xD
"Well, what do you think, my pretty? Isn't this a simply GORGEOUS makeover?"
"W-w-wha-WHAT DID YOU DO TO MY COTTAGE?!"
"W-w-wha-WHAT DID YOU DO TO MY COTTAGE?!"
Poor 'shy xD
Discord : Look, Fluttershy! Here is a 'IHateYou' machine! IHateYou-machine : I KILL YOU FLUTTERSHY !!! Fluttershy : *cry* GO AWAY!!! D: IHateYou-machine : Ok! *The machine go away* Discord : Argh!!! The machine is broken! D:< Fluttershy : DISCORD!?! Grr... YOU'RE DEAD!!! Discord : AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH *run away* The End!
"Look Fluttershy this will be G5."
look! i made X!
Me: "WHY!?"
So much pun
Me: "WHY!?"
So much pun
Lol! poor fluttershy
x's? XD lol
sure fluttershy can keep discord in line XD
sure fluttershy can keep discord in line XD
Do you mind if I use your picture as the cover for my story? I promise to give all credits to you.
I don't mind.
"Isn't he cute?"
Just need to make sure Fluttershy stays away from Twilight's advanced mathematics and physics books then.
It's the statues of his ancestors!
"I made this half-pony half-monkey monster to please you.
But, I get the feeling you don't like it.
What's with all the screaming!
You like ponies,
you like monkies.
Maybe you don't like monsters so much.
Maybe I used too many monkies.
Isn't it enough that I ruined a pony making a gift for you?"
But, I get the feeling you don't like it.
What's with all the screaming!

YES, oh my god YES
Y = Statue of David uncensored.
Y = Statue of David uncensored.
And thus, the Powerpuff Ponies were born!
gah! so cute! Poor Fluttershy...!
I'm surprised she didn't go all fainting goat on us ^^
Discord's like "Behold Flutters, I summoned the big papa Azathoth to this world. Wanna take a look?"
Discord accidentally the background.

Dear ppl who asks others to draw for 'exposure': by QinniWatch
Edit: for actually industry pricing for freelancers and graphic artists, this is a good book to refer to: The Graphic Artist's Guild Handbook. i have freelance friends who use this book and say it's really good, so....yeah, it's probably a good investment if you're starting out. i totally forgot about it before i saw that tumblr post, sorry~!)
for anyone still thinking it's okay to underpay or not pay artists because they're "new", please take a look at this.
Some excerpts include (quotes are the excerpts, comments are mine):
"simple illustration - Ext. Budget $5.00" - meaning that even if you spend 1 hour on a simple but finished, professional illustration, you'd only be making $5.00/hour.
"Children's Book Cover Illustration - 2 illustrations that are 18x18x in full colour; Est. Budget $25" - so even if you spend a very short 2.5 hours per cover painting, you're still getting paid $5.00/hour. But realistically we all know full-colour illustrations take longer than that so let's not kid ourselves and price it at $2.00/hour. Slave labor ftw .
"Cartoon Children's Illustrator - $70.00" - oh, that doesn't look ba- oh wait... "19 pages full colour plus cover." ....20 illustrations for $70, making it an average of $3.50 per illustration. awesome.
here's some more links:
"A Note to you Should you be thinking of asking me to write for you for free"
"no spec work!"
I know I wrote a little much, but if you have time, please read .
I feel like this is important because this whole attitude is the same that lets people steal other people's art and print it on phone cases, posters, tshirts and more. They don't view us as hard-working people but more like machines that just churn out art. Not to mention it kind of screws the whole industry value up....(like, why would they pay for you to draw anything if someone else can do it for free?). This means the whole market value of art goes way down. It also let's people feel like they have the right to cuss me out when I refuse.....
This was originally done because I saw ridiculous people comment on tumblr and drawing ridiculous comic response is a way I cope, but then I realized that there are more of these people on dA; in fact, I often get notes about doing projects for free because of possible "exposure" i would get (not to mention those contests that hardly pays the winner anything to design a t-shirt or whatnot), and I'm sure I'm not the only one.
Some people don't feel artists deserve compensation seeing as it's not as "essential" as, say, doctors or plumbers….Of course, then there are those who think that artists don't even deserve recognition, let alone payment, so they take away artist sources and comments, thinking that artists live off of the euphoria of drawing alone (and of course if we complain about it, we're being selfish bitches or spoiled brats).
Yes, recognition is amazing, but we also don't want to work for free (unless it's something you just REALLY want to do of course and isn't looking to buy food with recognition coupons). There are plenty of great companies and people who hire artists, and these hired paid artists get plenty of recognition.
Also, Stephen Silver's video on this is pretty great so take a look if you haven't yet.
Please note: I don't mean to say you shouldn't ever draw for anyone for free evar ever, but you deserve to be paid. Your art has value, and more importantly, your artistic skills have value and people should not expect it for free
This also is pretty good/funny: Should I work for free? a flow cart
ps. Psst, here's a secret....the payout "recognition" and "exposure" is a lie 99.5% of the time.
When i first started out here on DA, i was doing requests like crazy....but then several years later down the line, i started taking commissions; back then, my prices were dirt cheap (i think it was £5 per drawing)
First one i did was to a deviant on here-part way through the commission; he changed his mind and didn't want me to do the drawing anymore ( i was actually devastated by this).
When my mum showed my commission prices and my artwork to an old work colleague of hers (she was an artist for MTV many years ago) her words were to "increase my commission prices" when she found out how long it takes for me to draw/ink and colour in said pieces.
So now my commission prices are pretty standard for me (since i live in the UK, i go by UK National Living Wage) and i do by the hour, and not by a set price (after calculating what i was working on via set price....it turns out i was working at slavery prices).
My whole family has faith in me getting into the art industry, the last thing they want me to do is to undersell myself like i did in the past.
Anyway, this was an excellent read
Inspirational words too -^^-
Newer artists should just put their stuff out there, and draw a clear line between "free labor of love" and paid work. Time and word of mouth will get you recognition eventually.
That being said, I did promise the person I would work on his/her's request. But, with thanks to your information, I will charge in the future.
Out of curiosity, how does one charge for their work in Deviant Art? Is there a "Pay Pal" or something like that?
Thank you again for this.
That twitter collects series of quotes(or at least the summarize version of quotes) by people who asked for free work from artists, writers, photographers and etc.
And there was a lot of them. Sad isn't it?
and is making artists more money than simply charging per piece.
This means that the bigger your fanbase is, the more people you'll have to donate
1-5$ a week/month.
IE: www.patreon.com/doxydoo
Granted, this isn't for every artist and this sort of "income bubble" will eventually
cap off (people will get tired of hearing artists pimp their patreon").
but it's a good tool for now that'll help artists that're still trying to improve their
skills and pay the rent.
You know what gets recognition on dA though? being extremely active, have really good draftsmanship, and know how to do pinups and fanart pinups. Then pump them out for max exposure. Riding on the coattails of other, greater artists and franchises do work very well . I should do some myself some time, actually....hahaha
Commission = Request + Recognition = Work experience + Income
I have more wall space... and if I arrange things carefully I can get them all up. The flow chart is hilarious!
I totally struggle with prices but then someone from Vietnam (no offense, my best friend was Vietnamese) offers realistic portraits for 4 dollars and I wanna cry.
I don't get requests often but most of them wanted anything drawn for free and were offended when I told them I need the money for my life, which is why I was willing to do the work for them...
Getting comments like "It's not that hard for u is it? so do it plz" is really rude <.<
When I receive offers of exposure, I am reminded that , here in New England, people die of exposure every year.
Keep up the good fight!
That'll be my answer the next time a request like this finds it's way into my in-box.
Especially when I'm already stressed out trying to live a double life, and drawing is almost becoming a coping mechanism.
But the point is, there are so many artists, of all different kinds, that it's easy for a person to refuse a high priced piece of art, in exchange for a similar quality low priced one. Non-artists don't see such a big difference between different artists.
If all artists all over raised their prices, the problem obviously would disappear, because people would be forced to pay more to get what they wanted. After all, it's only natural that you'd choose to pay less IF you had the chance.
Actually, art IS something you can learn in school - you don't have to go to school necessarily to learn it, it can very much be "self-taught", but let's be honest, a large percentage of "self-taught" artists still learn from following advice given by other artists or read tutorials online or read anatomy books, etc. So it really can be taught, and even self-taught artists are being taught using those tools; I learned a LOT of stuff from art school as well as tutorials online and advice given by my peers and betters
It's easy for people to refuse high price, but it's just as easy for artists to refuse to sell for lower. And it's not even that people only go to people who lower their prices - there are plenty of people who go to well-known artists and writers to ask for free stuff. Look at this guy! He's a well-known, well-published writer who still gets letters from people asking for free writing~ So it's a mindset, not a natural course of "because there are so many artists and writers therefore.", cause if it's natural, then naturally people shouldn't be asking this guy's stuff for free - obviously he doesn't need the exposure or have the feeling of wanting to do stuff because someone complimented him.
If more people understand that there's a problem and try to change the problem rather than saying "oh, well, it's normal for us to be screwed over hahah", then change will more likely happen, that's all .
Yes, art is a skill that needs to be refined, that's what you "learn" in an art school. I didn't say you don't learn art techniques. I said you can't learn to be an artist. You must be born with the will and skill to create, and love to create art. Try taking a child who doesn't like creating art to an art school and see how he will fail to learn. Other jobs are far more open. There are artists who actually change their minds and become doctors and anything else basically, but you'll never see a young doctor in the making, become an artist.
As for the writer; Yes there are foolish people who try their luck in prying art for free like that too. Many of them are young people, who have used this technique before and it worked. And yes, it's still natural no matter how you look at it. ~It worked before, if you persevere, it'll work again~ It's the exact mindset artists use too, but used differently.
I didn't say though that it wasn't a problem, because artists end up starving like that, but it's the artist's fault at this point.
As i said, if all artists were to change and stop believing their art isn't worth anything, you'd get progress, but it won't change anytime soon.
Oh and sure.. there are simply stupid, simple minded people who will just do it all over again and will never understand how long it takes to create art, or it's importance and who will go insulting artists and such.
Actually, you are wrong about doctors not becoming an artist. There are doctors who become artists, and I can name two famous ones off the top of my head - Jim Lee (a young doctor in the making) and Osamu Tezuka (a doctor who wasn't just in the making, but made it). I also personally know someone who was in the middle of studying bio-chem at a really good school, passing with flying colours and everything, who decided that she loved music and left everything to pursue music. I've also seen decently skilled art students who hated art. I've personally been a good violinist who hated violin; I've been playing the violin since I was 3 y/o, and was very, very good at it so I wasn't allowed to quit, enough that I almost went for Juliard, but I changed my mind and wanted to be an artist and managed to wrangle a yes from my parents. As someone who has been literally forced to practice the violin since she was 6 (that's when I wanted to quit), I'd say art is something you can do even without willingness. at least, music is, and I'd consider that an art. So basically don't generalize without understanding that the art industries are full of different people, some who does it because they don't really have anything else to do (i know someone like that too....she didn't like art per se but only did it because it was the only thing she was decent at), some who were doctors or bio-chemists, so please don't look down upon the intelligence of artists or even the value of this industry, which is actually huge. I'm just addressing to the bottom part, the people starting out, and the people who are outside of the industry thinking that art should be free.
I didn't say it wasn't the artists' fault, some of them need to see that the "exposure" excuse is bullshit, but i feel like it's also the fault of people who think they deserve free art. It's a problem that exists on both sides, since there are people who manipulate young ignorant artists into thinking that they would somehow benefit in terms of exposure, like even with tshirt design contests that gives nothing but a few tshirts as prizes while they make money off the young artist, and also artists who are slow to the uptake and fall for draw for free over and over again. I've actually gotten a few comments from people complaining about how they can't find good artists to "collaborate" with and that everyone wanted money, or that they didn't have enough money that's why they offer up piteous amounts; more than artists who are commenting that say they draw for free, so why is it fault of one side and not the other? Why is it okay for someone to take advantage of ignorance and fault of those who gets taken advantage of because of their ignorance? This isn't the animal kingdom where if an animal steals another's food, they would die because they aren't strong enough and the other would survive to carry on. We're human beings, who understand that there's design literally everywhere and it's as valid as any other job and skillset,
All in all, I feel like aiming for change is better than sitting idly and do nothing but scoff at people when they fall down because of their ignorance . Did I do this for naught? Maybe. But I'd like to say i tried, and I'd like to hope for the best. Even one person changing their mind or understanding this is worth it to me.

"This was just the card we needed to send to family and friends for my son's graduation presents. I only used a photo with the words thank you on the front on the card. It was tasteful and just the right look."
"I wasn't sure about this design, I am not a huge fan of everything being pink just because I have a baby girl, however I picked the option for my picture being black and white and it came out so adorable with the pink background. The quality of the paper is great! Very sturdy paper/stationary.I also chose to have our return address put on the envelope and it gave it and elegant look and saved me so much time. I should have ordered more, I only ordered 30 and now there are so many more people I'm thinking I could have sent this to that would've really liked a picture of our daughter rather than a plain thank you card. I wasn't expecting such great quality and such a good looking card so I didn't want to order too many. Now I know what to expect from this company and I will definitely be ordering again!"
"The quality of these cards is very good, very nice cardstock and easy to write on with, I assume, any kind of pen (and I am a picky pen / paper person). They are perfect for our wedding thank you notes. It would be nice if the envelopes had been available in a bigger array of colors, but the card itself is wonderful. Shipped on-time and no issues with delivery or product. Thanks, tinyprints!"
"This Thank You card cover turned out so beautiful! I love the paper it is printed on. I wish I would have paid closer attention to the measurements because I would have ordered a larger size but they turned out so good! Thank you!"
"This card was smaller than I was anticipating (should have checked the dimensions), but the paper was thick and textured and the photo print quality was excellent. Would definitely recommend for a cute, quality thank-you card."

Does anyone watch Rosemary and Thyme, TV series, via Netflix? Thyme had a super cool multicolor (?) knit or crochet hat with brim & bobbles. I think it was like the 5-8 show. I never saw this series before but I think aside from the gorgeous gardens and houses, we are going to see more knitting & crochet garments, hats, etc. Let me know if do watch where might get pattern. Thanks!

am looking for a christmas tree hat to knit for a baby

Dec 15, 2011
I just knit a christmas tree hat for my great-nephews. The pattern was written for a premie or newborn but I used larger needles 8 and 9 - and worsted weight yarn instead of DK. I found the pattern at Http://www.p2designs.com/pdf/HatTreeElfSox.pdf I hope this is correct since I can't copy and paste like a normal person. If it doesn't try google for christmas tree hat pattern. Good luck and Merry Christmas!

I'm so happy to receive your mail. I knit and would like to know if you have knitted hat patterns for four needles. I have knitted a hundred hats or more for charity, use a Red Heart pattern which I converted to four needles. I like simple patterns, tho' can work with some complex ones. With the four needle patterns I don't have seams to sew, makes for a better finished hat. Thank you, Dorothy Goodhart
