People need to quit asking me to make art for them right now. Srsly.
I have had multiple people demand more of Miranda and my webcomic, people demanding that I finish art wishes for them (which to be fair, they were supposed to be Christmas wishes... for 2009. But this is the worst possible time to ask for it), people asking me to draw for THEIR comics, people WHORING ME OUT (so to speak) TO OTHER COMIC AUTHORS WHO MAY NEED WRITERS. All on top of the fact that I am already working on a project for MIRA, a migrant workers' group. Not to mention my school work, which is- believe it or not- sort of important.
One of them, when I confronted him, even explained how helpful he was being to me. Artists take what they can get, he said. They grab jobs whenever they can and are grateful for them, he said. It's good publicity, he said.
AM I BEING AN ARTIST RIGHT NOW?
IS MY LIFE CURRENTLY DEVOTED TO MAKING A LIVING OFF MY ARTWORK?
AND ALSO
AM I BEING PAID FOR ANY OF THIS GODDAMN WORK?
NO.
SO STOP GODDAMN ASKING YOU DIRTY DIRTY DEMANDING DIMWITS.
I HAVE A FUCKTON OF ACTUAL WORK TO DO RIGHT NOW.

How's school? aside from busy?

School is... basically that, busy. But it's okay.
I dunno... I'm okay with drawing things for people for free. It's enjoyable. It's when they all start going MINE MINE MINE MINE MINE like the Finding Nemo seagulls AT THE SAME TIME that it drives me mad. I think some of the Pants on Head people are joking, but still. LEAVE ME ALONE WHY DON'T YOU T.T

Aw...
Eh...I guess I just wish I had the same apparent demand for my artwork XD
But I understand why you're frustrated.
