I’ll be participating as best I can in the Philly chapter.

I have more art than I have square feet in my apartment. I rarely form an attachment to any of my pieces, so the obvious solution to this is to sell most of it. I’ve tried this before and I think the reason it failed was because I named the prices.

So, this time around, if you see a piece you want, name your price, and we’ll talk it out. Feel free to invite your friends to help me clean out this art overload.

If there’s something that you want that I don’t have up here, just let me know. Either I forgot about it and didn’t put it up, it’s digital and there isn’t a physical copy or it’s one of the few I don’t want to part with.

Also, if I upload any pictures that has typography on it, obviously the typography won’t be on the physical piece, as it’s added in the computer, so just use your imagination.

Thanks everyone.

In July of 2011, everything seemed pretty good for Freelance Illustrator and Designer, Jon Laing. In August of 2011, he was broke and at odds with all of his major clients. So, posed with two options—work for peanuts and hope everything worked itself out and potentially have to give up living independently in the city, or give up freelancing—Jon chose to be a quitter.

Armed with a freshly designed résumé, recently ironed dress clothes that hadn’t seen the light since Senior prom, an art school diploma and a pair of tattered converses with gaping holes in the soles, Jon landed himself a web development job.

Now, the aspiring freelancer spends his work days in an office cubicle building medical software and struggling to cope with the radical change of plans.
