Can't agree more with this statment,Chris.When i first started my horsey digital
work,people would
email me wanting a picture or two.I would tell them the charges and they would
agree,the
cheque will
be mailed today type of thing.I would then print the picture and wait and wait etc.They
never sent any
money.
Now im out X number of $ for ink paper time etc.
Now its like Ebay.Pay me and i'll do you pictures.
I still get people ordering and not sending,but now i'm not out any money either.<g>
Good luck Tanya with this.I'm sure the people who appreciate your work will eventually
find you.
