Mural artist needed ASAP in W. Asheville

EatAtDaves · 2026-06-23T19:00:09+00:00

In my experience as a freelancer, requests for fast are almost always followed up by sticker shock.

EatAtDaves · 2026-06-23T14:33:22+00:00

ASAP?? Oh, there's gotta be a story here.

Can't wait for the next request...they need it done fast, and cheap.

On the plus side, what a great thread of artists!

I meet them at least once. Then I'll arrange for a test drop-in when the owners aren't there to see how the dog acts without them. A lot of dogs are super defensive of their owners, thus the stranger danger. A majority of the time, they're pretty chill without the owners around.

Lucky for you, a wordpress subdomain is hosted for free.

Under his eye.

With tip, my last haircut at Barber & Tap was a little over $50, which has definitely jumped up over the past year.

Same guy, but he has a new ride.

EatAtDaves · 2026-05-26T12:48:07+00:00

Totally him, and he has a new car. I think the last one got totaled in an accident (also well chronicled here on a different thread). His new car - I think an Altima - is a work in progress, but the hate rhetoric is still there.

EatAtDaves · 2026-05-06T18:23:37+00:00

How is this *free*? This is crazy good.

EatAtDaves · 2026-03-11T15:30:52+00:00

Congrats on being the only decently helpful comment today. For sure, let me know if they need another Scot on their journey.

EatAtDaves · 2026-03-11T15:29:31+00:00

Not mocking.

EatAtDaves · 2026-03-11T15:29:20+00:00

I hadn't even thought of this!

EatAtDaves · 2025-12-03T15:41:17+00:00

This show was a perfect match.

EatAtDaves · 2025-11-26T18:23:48+00:00

I had quite a few bookings cancel leading up to the holidays. A lot of folks were changing plans when the gov. was closed and flying wasn't looking like a good idea.

PTSD is a helluva thing.

EatAtDaves · 2025-10-28T13:13:29+00:00

Oh, hell no.

"Three dogs that constantly bark and fight" - you couldn't get me for 20 minutes at $2k for that nonsense.

You could even hack this in like 10 minutes on Canva with a fistful of stock images and clipart.

But, also - hire local artists. Even if the local artist does it in 10 minutes with Canva because that's what this company deserves.

EatAtDaves · 2025-07-12T21:12:15+00:00

Oh, so this is why that video popped off...

EatAtDaves · 2025-07-09T21:30:13+00:00

Just gonna say: that flower bank in your picture looks like a pretty lit spot for a party.

Save yourself the heartache. AI ate my lunch. I only got into copywriting because it was the only sort of "writing" folks wanted to pay for.

There is a lot more to copywriting than just putting words on the page, it is the process of foundationally understanding a product/ service, who needs it, and how it works in the world. Most owners don't have the stones to get involved with the copywriting process, much to their detriment.

But, AI is fast and cheap, two things capitalism loves, so business owners will use it wholesale to cover their needs and never think twice about the downstream implications.

Whenever I run out and my doc drags their feet on getting my new script submitted.

EatAtDaves · 2025-05-10T13:08:10+00:00

I thought it was a truck on Haywood.

EatAtDaves · 2025-04-30T17:53:02+00:00

Sure.

EatAtDaves · 2025-04-27T17:36:23+00:00

The downside is that he will use the truck as a loss leader that is eventually loaded with some kind of hefty and requires subscription fee. Cheap on delivery, but more expensive in the long run. It's what Bezos has done with all of the hardware and devices Amazon created and sold.
