Yes, this is really the freelancers trap. It's better to have several smaller jobs/customers than one such one big one. I had this 4 years ago when I started my print service. The first year I had one big customer that I lost the next year. >From then I had to start almost from scratch again. At this moment I've quite a nice mix of activities: 3D visuals, teaching 3D, print service and free art work. Especially the teaching gives a nice balance, now that a lot of creative companies are fighting the crisis and have spare time to invest in new techniques, ask for 3D lessons. This compensates the slowdown in demand for 3D visuals. Anyway I hope you find enough new customers soon, to keep your chimney smoking as we say in Holland. Arjo
