[DenisMutter]

Can you swing a grant thing like, on the sly, and float the cash around, or do they watch that stuff pretty closely?

How can they decide what's "commercial" vs "art"?

GOod luck - I'm still buying you guys a beer when you come to Dayton!

[uncle charlie]

join the army and go to Iraq. maybe you'll get hit by a car bomb.

[seripop]

we tried all the grants and don't qualify for any of them.
we get TONNES of work but the only people who hire us are either broke or cheap.
not to mention 4 diffrent magazines ripping us off in a 5 month time frame..


the show in dayton got canceled , thanks for the offer anyhow.



we got a last ditch trick up our sleeve that will rol into effect when we get back from tour

crossing my fingers it'lll work

[seripop]

. maybe you'll get hit by a car bomb.

50$ to whomever can offer me a quick , painless death

[jayryan]

c'mere, chloe.

bring $50.

[piemel]

chloe,

Seems like you are at a crossroads... your client base is poor and chronically late when it comes to paying their bills. I doubt you will be able to change their attitude since it seems to be inherent to that scene in the first place.

Time to change your customer base no?

[seripop]

we are trying to get diffremnt customers but people with money seem to hate our work

we've been in nyc meeting with every rep in the book and none of them wanna touch our stuff

we are moving into publishing this fall and it that deosn't work i guess we'll be out of the art game

branch out... change your art style for those with money and that are not your usual customer base... let them pay the bills so you can continue doing your work for your favorite bands that never pay or pay very little...
