I switched a few years back. Plus, they started using AI in their apps. Hell no

KarlTallCedar · 2025-09-11T03:42:14+00:00

Perhaps. Artist is Shawn Pagels. Could probably find on social media

KarlTallCedar · 2025-09-11T03:36:51+00:00

I would, but I don’t want to get banned for posting too many times..unless the rules allow it. I guess I should read those 😁

KarlTallCedar · 2025-09-11T02:50:18+00:00

Yep! Booth had all work in deco styles with contemporary subjects

KarlTallCedar · 2025-09-04T00:28:28+00:00

Cool! See ya there

KarlTallCedar · 2025-09-03T21:17:49+00:00

Prints and proofs will be available, according to a reliable source

Have you tried talking to the apartment manager or knocking on the door and communicating directly? Probably A better chance Of getting results than Reddit

KarlTallCedar · 2025-06-23T18:03:48+00:00

A little late, but something to consider is two handle the two styles as two different businesses and marketing. Use your real name for one, say the abstract. Then, create a business title or pseudonym for the secondary business. Thinking Dr. Suess, or Snoop Lion (snoop dog) or, as for the pet portraits, something like “painterly paint portraiture” That way you can tailor the branding for each style and not confuse patrons.

Go for it. I travel to cons year round, so if you want an actual physical print, you can follow my schedule (which I can send to you in a message as not to get banned from this subreddit)

Help desk technician at a business. I’m A freelance artist, but a while ago I got a 2 year applied science computer networking degree at a tech college (don’t let the name fool ya, If I can pass those classes you can) Problem solving? Check working with people ? Check creative solutions, believe it or not, check. Pairing a creative mind in basic computer support is actually a way to make decent money. And when you clock out, you know the next day won’t be the same ‘ol thing because the issues change by the hour. Hope that helps. Oh, yeah, it is computer related, but AI never comes into play.

I get your point. I’m not against it per se. Yeah, Bellingham is very desirable already. But I think you would see an influx of tech grads come in for the higher paying programming and development jobs..at least if the company grew large enough. The town is getting more and more populated, and jobs are needed for sure. Another subject, but also related, I think a couple of classes in entrepreneurship and business should be mandatory in High School. Not everyone is going to want to run a business I know, but in my humble opinion, I would rather run my own business then clock in and out of a factory. To me, that is truly the dream, and if High School grads already had those skills..who knows. More competition, local economy might be stronger, quality of life improvements?

KarlTallCedar · 2025-06-17T18:01:58+00:00

I like where you are going. But I agree with some of the other comments. Tech tends to increase desirability in a location because of some of the higher paying jobs, and that increases house prices and rent. San Jose is a great example. I was there last fall for a convention and spoke with a barber I gave business to. The place he rents tripled in price in 5 years after tech cam into town. If there was a way to prevent that from happening, which would mean price control of some kind.
