Starting Out

Might as well introduce myself. I have chosen the name Jessie Night to sign my art with because I have gone by Jessie for as long as I can remember and I prefer to be nocturnal if at all possible, so that is what I will go by here. Choosing a different name makes me feel like R. Mutt (aka Marcel DuChamp) and I feel that it brings me a tiny step closer to my Ultimate Goal. My Ultimate Goal is to be a full-time artist and be able to support myself that way.

Unfortunately, the pressure is really on because my money is running out and rent is due soon. According to my calculations, I have about 3 months until I can't live off of my savings anymore. Positive side: I have a whole bunch of art supplies and a small camera, so I'm going to try to post my progress here before I put any items up on my internet store, which can be found at jessiebynight.etsy.com for your viewing and buying pleasure. I'm going to post how much I spent on supplies, how long I took to make the pieces, and how much I think I want to sell them for.

Wish me luck on not having to work for The Man, again.
