My second commission check

Oooh...I got my second commish check from Pacific View Press for a book I illustrated back in 2001, Undertanding Chinese Culture, A Guide to San Francisco's Chinatown for a whopping $116.15. I'm not complaining. I am surprised the book is still selling.

OK...what's up with the art.

When I say art, I guess I'm talking about my drawing, designing and screenprinting. Well...not a whole lot is going on. I haven't had a drawing commission in so many years, that the only drawing I've been doing is drawing money from the bank account. Designing...I haven't had a designing commission so long, that I got bored earlier this year and did a design practically for free for the Day of Rememberance. It turned out to be a lot more work because JH made me do a lot of changes and adding more text, then changing it. Screenprinting...not much. My latest was the Nikkei Walkathon shirts and that was over a month ago now. Tai gave me this shirt order, but it involves a lot of artwork and I don't think he would want to spend a lot for that.

I'm going to print a couple of postcards with several of my designs. Hope it's not a waste of money.
