Hey lovely people! I've been knocked back for arts funding from too many places and I'm fast running out of time to prepare for my big exhibition in February next year. This is why I've created a "crowd funding" account at the link below. It is my hope that the general public and my friends will have better taste in art than the suits who knock back grant proposals for a living. Please help me reach my goal and donate to this project which I have put my heart and mind into for almost 5 years now. It will mean the world to me. There are some sweet rewards waiting for you too. Thanks everyone! :)

She has schooled her heart to patience, though her eyes are never free from tears as the slow nights and days pass sorrowfully by.

I too seemed destined to be a man of fortune once. Look at me now.
