Hey y’all.I just joined this site and am giving it a try, seeing how things go. What I was really hoping to do was find some way to support myself financially so that I can focus on making art, which is my passion. In addition to painting, drawing, sculpture, jewelry, apparel, and various other art forms, I am very interested in architectural and urban design. I currently am beginning a fairly huge project, which is basically the designing and constructing of a small, off-grid permaculture eco-village in Central America. I need about $25,000 to make this happen, so that’s why I set my ‘tip target’ to 1,000,000 credits, ha ha ha. Outrageous, I know, but so is my beard, and I love it dearly.I really have no idea if this is going to work out or not, but it seems like fun so far. I look forward to learning more about how this all works, and hopefully meeting some nice folks here.This summer is going to be fantastic – I can feel it in my bones. I am in love with every flower and tree and insect and person and building and passing cloud these days. Just infatuated, drunk on life, fully awake and present, looking forward to every day.Anyway… please let me know if you have any advice for me! Will be writing more as I go along…Love,Thomas
