I'm just about done with my current round. The remaining ones are either in sketching, inking, or coloring phases. Soon I will be finding myself with nothing to do.

So I want to take the time to announce that I'm still open for commissions. ^^
I'm doing badges if you want 'em,
Iron Artist pics if you want 'em,
sketches if you want 'em,
my usual full-color stufffff if you want 'em.

Help me pay for my upcoming FurFright expenses. 8U

Note me if you're interested, and I shall fulfill all of your fantasies*.







*as long as they're G or PG rated, that is.~

It occurred to me today that after I accidentally deleted my commission price list from my header a while ago, that I never put it back.

Herewith:

*b&w sketch: $10
*1 character, no bg: $15
*1 character, bg: $20-$30 depending on how complicated the background it
*2 character, no bg: $30
*2 character, bg: starts at $40 and goes up from there. Again, depending on the size of the picture and how complicated the background gets.
*Multiple characters: starts at $50 and goes up from there, etc.


Now, this weekend I had 2 gigs. One in Atlantic City and one in Chicopee, MA.
The money was to go toward paying my bills.
This morning, both cancelled due to dat bitch Irene.~
So that's about 400 bucks I suddenly don't have. ^^;;;
Which brings me to my next thing about commissions:

Still takin' 'em.

I'm gonna have time on my hands and I could really use the money. So if interested, note me with your specifics, and I will help satisfy your desires. :3

When doing so, should I use backing of some kind? That is, cardboard of one type or another? How should I present the pieces? It occurs to me how easy it is for the paper to get bent otherwise. :P

I don't read xkcd much at all. But I found this one through a link, and, well, I can relate. Enjoy:

Even with my band officially into the busy season (I'm in Syracuse, NY tomorrow, in fact), I'm still taking commissions. So let me know if you're at all interested, and I'd be happy to deliver. ^^

And when I say "commissions", I mean both regular and, oh, I dunno, IRON ARTIST ones. :O http://www.furaffinity.net/journal/2237763/

Thanks to all of you for your watches, your appreciation, and your patronage. n.n

- C-Cat

Gah! I have 402 watchers right now. Can't imagine what's making so many of you stampede towards me. Must be the aroma of fresh-baked bread I give off or something. >.>

Anyway, belated congrats to  sleepycub for being watcher number 400! I haz lovely parting gift! *swipes bird figurine off nearby credenza* :O

Seriously, though, thanks. ^^

This song makes me trip out. :O

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I-Yzi2g3Hhg

Plus, it has the lyrics (90% correct, anyway), which are otherwise hard to make out.

Trip with meh! X~X

Just suppose...
If I were to artstream a work-in-progress, who of you might turn up to watch me art? :3
I'm kinda mulling over doing something like that.
Whuddaya think?~
- C

I now have a half-table in the Dealer's Den at FurFright this year.
Achievement unlocked. :O

I guess I better start thinkin' of stuff I can sell.

Any suggestions? I'm open. You're fans of my work. What do you think? :3

First off, gratuitous artist pimpage: Go check out  kalida. Her stuff's awesome. ^^

Now, inspired by her, I wanna ask: If I offered up a certain number of slots for what she calls "sketch commissions" - one character, no background - at a certain price, would there be any takers?

I do these things once in a blue moon on my own. They tend to look like this: http://www.furaffinity.net/view/2658158/

Kalida's able to take out a certain number of slots per week at a set price and she gets takers.
This could be useful to me. :D

So: any thoughts? Because anything I can do to make moneys off my arts would be good at this point.

If the response is positive enough, I may initiate this next week. ^^

I crossposted the following on my Inkbunny page. Ahem:

Y helo thar. =O
Still open. My queue is almost done. After that, I'm gonna need to step it up. I'm meeting my accountant next Wednesday to do my taxes. I've got just two gigs this coming month, and, as such, I don't know where the money is going to come from so as to pay her, let alone take care of some of my other bills.
So it's time for me to go into overdrive.
I've had a pretty good few months as far as commissions go, so woot for me. :D
But this means most of my slots are gonna be open, and Imma need 'em to be filled.
So if you're interested, gimme a shout. I wanna be arted out by the time summer comes around and the band starts getting busy again, knaamsayin'?~

- C Cat =^OwO^=

Just to have a backup place should FA go down again, I now have a shiny new Inkbunny account.
Not much there that I don't already have here, or on my Artspots account. Still, if you wanna chiggidy-check it out...

This one seems to strike a chord in me, as far as being in a fandom largely composed of people who are sort of unconventional in some way, shape, or form.

Discovered this one while watching  roareyraccoon's livestream.

Hope you like, and I wonder if any of you listen to this and see if you know where I'm coming from.

K, everybody smoke crack, listen to this and do the robot. Then tell me how it felt. >:D

In all seriousness, the drummer on this song is a BEEEEEAAAST! \m/

1. Just a reminder, for the benefit of my new watchers, I'm still open for commissions. :3
Gigs continue to be scarce, and it really is helping to pay my bills drawing pretty pictures for yawl.
It's both an honor and a pleasure to know my work has caught on like it has.
Thanks for all your interest (and moneyz). :U

2. Next item: I'm putting out feelers. *If* I were to start doing conbadges, well...what do you think? Who'd be interested?

Found this out through watching  bucktowntiger . I figured if I posted this link, it couldn't hurt and might even help. Check it out.

...this song was mah *jam*!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-umqM9R8cnI

Just to give you an idea of how old I am. XD

Warning. Once you are moved, CANNOT BE UNMOVED! :O

I'm at a party at  rourkie's house, and I just gotta say: Happy 2011 to all. May it be the first of many! :P
*sidewhisper* Yanno, I knew Dick Clark had a stroke a few years ago, but Dayum...D:

OK, is it at *all* possible in this day and age to cover, say, "Jingle Bells" or "Sleigh Ride" for the 275,000th time and still think you're being oh so very *original*? Because at the rate some of these chestnuts get covered, you'd thinl so. >:P
I mean, do you think a song, after a while, passes a sort of event horizon where it's like "OK, nothing more can be done with this song! It's official!"
Thoughts?

Been meaning to do this for a while.

Uploaded the first five entries just an hour ago. ^^

I'll just be uploading the items from my body of work I think are the choicest. Plus maybe one or two things here and there that aren't in my gallery here. :O

Someone in the audience filmed my band's gig on 11/27. You know, the one where we did a 1977 Aerosmith set?

So, without further ado:

AH YEEEAAH, CHECK US OUT!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3jZWBeh2nqk

We play "Lord Of The Thighs" here, from Get Your Wings.
LEMME HEAR YOU SCREEEEAM! |U \m/ ^O^

Hay, party people.

Just to let you know I'm still taking commissions. I haz unlimited spots on my list at the moment. I only have about 2 gigs in the next month, so I'm definitely gonna need something to do!

So if any of y'all got the itch for a commish, note me and I'm sure I can whip you up something pretty to look at.

...was a reproduction of Aerosmith's 1977 show and set list. Showcase Live, Gillette Stadium, Foxboro, MA.
I been doin' so much Aero 77 research, that now I'm in the mood for this:
