What attire do you prefer people to wear to your "Moments" show? Formal, semi-formal, casual, whatever we prefer..?

Anonymous

Wow I didn’t even think of this hahahaa please wear whatever you’d like oh my gosh!!

Note that the show itself is open for three weeks (June 7th-28th), and if you’re in NYC you can come and look at the art during any of the gallery’s hours (I just won’t be there.) The reception on June 7th is really not a big deal and just an excuse for everyone to hang out and meet me if they want. It’s NOT a formal occasion, it’s a small gallery, so just come and have some refreshments and drink some cheap beer (unless you’re underage, then you can have soda) while you judge and ridicule me and ughhhh seriously, I’d be honored to have any of you!!

Hello! Are you going to be going to Fanime next weekend? And if so, where can I find you?

onset-of-imagination

Hello! I unfortunately won’t be at Fanime. I actually can’t leave the house until I finish work for my show on June 7th… not even to see Star Trek…

Since we’re here, this is my 2013 con/event schedule, subject to change:

“MOMENTS” Solo Exhibition (opening reception)
➶ Bottleneck Gallery, Brooklyn, NY – June 7 – confirmed

Anime Expo (artist alley)
➶ Los Angeles, CA – July 4-7 – confirmed

Bay Area Sherlock Con (special guest)
➶ Santa Clara, CA – August 17 – confirmed

New York Comic Con (artist alley)
➶ New York, NY – October 10-13 – maybe

Please note that before this year, I actually have NEVER sold at a con before (AX will be my first ever. I am a n00b.) So please be aware that I will probably massively unprepared and understocked until I get the hang of it… but… come say hi anyway! :)

DOCTOR WHO MORE LIKE DOCTOR WHAT?? THE?? FUCK??????? JUST HAPPENED!!!!!

As an independent artist making money from your own prints and things, how do you do your taxes? Is it hard? How do you calculate secondary distributor things like Society6 earnings? -The Boring One

Anonymous

Short answer: Yes, I pay taxes on everything I earn… such is life. I keep track of expenses vs. income all year, and have more knowledgable people assist me with the actual tax paperwork.

Long answer that is still short because someone already explained this better than I could: Read this very helpful Taxes for Freelancers guide by illustrator Kali Ciesemier!
