Thank You

Thank You

Since this time last year, my situation has improved somewhat from the near hand-to-mouth, disaster-every-month existence I used to live, and with that in mind, I’m so very thankful.

Thanks go especially to those who have in some way monetarily funded my unfortunate art and web habits this year—people like Broch, for being the absolute best patron of the arts and for providing the inspiration that spawned Whimsytoons; Mark, for the challenging commission that inspired me to write this tutorial and for sending me the Seegmiller book; Tony, for post mailing me a card in exactly my taste, along with a great pencil drawing of an island; Jacqueline, for post mailing me a card and an article on art and for the numerous links steering me toward art-related contests and ads; and of course Glenn, Sarah, Vicki, Yoni Books, and Liquid Silver Books. I also thank Warren, for making multiple donations to Greymatter in my name and for sending me warm socks, a gubbool shirt, a nifty birthday card, and an engine.

I thank Minnie for sending me various books, most especially this one, and for her warm loving friendship, AIM conversations, prayers, encouragement, and understanding.

Literally, thanks to everyone I’ve mentioned, my site remains online, my digital art tools have been somewhat upgraded, and my prospecting resources have grown. Yay for shoestring budgets and the generosity of others! You give me hope.

Whew, now my day job salary can go to important things like food and rent. 😉

  2. You’re quite welcome, April, and it’s always easy to support a great artist like you. Now I’ve got to get my act together and get you the photographs for my next commission for you.

  3. Thank you, April, for including me among those on this list. You are a most remarkable woman. Your writing skills far exceed us ordinary folks, accurate, enlightening and always entertaining. Your imagination and artistic skills leave me in complete awe.

    It is important for me to say that I would not have felt slighted if my name had not been here. Good Deeds done by me are selfish attempts to improve myself; that I might aspire to be more worthy of good friends. A goal that you unknowingly set for me with your post here.

  4. hey, nice to know u r doing well. Happy thanksgiving day whenever it is.
    god bless u and may the best in the world be yours.
    ciao

  5. April,

    We should be thanking you.

    You have created a great place where it’s fun to hang out.

    You’ve got a great ‘voice’. It wills me to come back and read more. (I like to read Dave Barry too. His voice calls out to me as well.)

    In the future, I hope to be a contributor to the April fund. In the mean time, I thank you for the contributions you have made to my personal fund.

    I hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving.

  6. Minnie, :-*
    Mark, I’m ready when you are! 🙂
    VJ, thanks.
    Warren and Brendan, you will make my head so big I won’t be able to lift it off my pillow. 😀 Thank you. You inspire me to continue writing.
