There is money in the field, you just have to have the right portfolio and good connections. Well see how far I get, then I can tell you better. Freelance hourly rates should not be less than 45 bucks though others charge based on their current living situation. I charge 75 an hour, and yes, I have done an actual job at this rate!!! doing illustrations, and not very good ones at that! actually still working on the job. I see the website is back up, Hooray. whats this about a High school dla presentation??? Ron called me and wished me congrats yesterday. trip. well, gotta get ready for the grunt job at UPS, still doin that. the bennies are too good to pass up at the moment. ken Sorry didn’t get back to you last night, got a bit busy.

I really like your website. I tried checking out Yasuko's website, but it never finished downloading (even after 25+ minutes), since i am dialing up these days.. I especially liked the stamp set and the photo-book cover. It would be e-sweet to check out what else you have done. How much contracted graphic design work have you done? Is there a future in it? I mean, is it possible to make any money doing design work these days? What does it take to make a little money? a lot of money? I know how to make no money at all already. I would love to get into the field, but i don't have a degree or a portfolio. Too bad we couldn't all partner up again and do some professional work. As for DLa, we are kind of in limbo until we hear back from your brother about the website hosting. He changed the password and so we are locked out of the internet.. Wow! I really like your website.
