I guess this is it.

Can you help me? Anything helps. There is no amount of money that is too small, as I've finally learned what its like to pay for things with pennies. Rent is coming up, my bills are overdue by months, and my electricity is on the verge of being cut off. (On my birthday, no less! Once again, I laugh with the universe! XD)

[edit] The response has been amazing, and I wanted to let you all know that I've appreciated every word you've had to offer. Don't feel bad that you cannot donate, the support is wonderful and worth just as much.

A few people have really gone out of their way to help by posting a few offers, commission specials, and what not.

=lilyhbp is doing commissions on my behalf <3

=KanameKururugi is giving a permanent journal feature and a 3-month subscription to a randomly drawn deviant who donates.

^guruubii is doing a sketch card for anyone who donates 10$ or more! I'll be contacting those who have already donated monies and asking you what character you want to have drawn, and get your address to forward to her.

=Rose-Rayne is doing requests for anyone who donates 10$ or more after 5:00pm EST (sun)

=marvelous-magic is also doing commissions on my behalf, check out her journal for details.

=Riabhach has an amazing array of things she's doing based on donation amounts. Check out her journal!

=gatogirl12345 is doing a raffle! Check it out! [link]


Thank you all again for everything. Every dollar makes a huge difference, and I really woke up this morning with so much optimism-- I can't believe how amazing everyone has been.

I am accepting donations through my paypal address: aunjuli@aol.com. If you send donations through paypal, please tell me your deviantart name. <3

I am accepting donations via my mailing address if you don't have paypal (note me) but would like to help, and mailing donations can also be gift cards for groceries or food (our local grocery store is Ralphs).

I'm open for commissions still (and my etsy store has stuff), if anyone would rather go through that route, as I'll still be working hard to earn as much as possible.


Please spread the word, and I am so sorry, everyone, that I'm even asking. I hope this is something I won't regret later.



Juli

Thank you to everyone who answered the birthday poll, and I wanted to share with you a comment left on my page from `zetab (I adore her, give her love!) :

"YOU!!!

We were wondering why we had 84 notes this morning in around 24 hours and now I know why Was a shock, but a laugh too!"

Hahaha! Good job guys! I recommend you have your friends on dA add their birthdays! We have millions of deviants, but only handfuls of thousands of birthdays listed! Recent birthdays that I was surprised to find listed the past few days (happy birthday!):

*DavidDeb & `TerrorCookie

Nothing like finding your friends there

That's it for now! I wanted to thank you guys for your support! I've posted a new and informative journal everyday for the last 7 days, and I'm really on a roll-- thank you for tolerating my spam! I can't promise I'll post one every day (or that I won't) but I can promise that each journal I post will have something new and different (possibly exciting or helpful) for you to read.

I have so many more things I need to get started, and I'm really pleased at the progress made in only a week. Keep your eyes peeled for restarting of the ~FanArtBookClub, chat events, and so much more! ( P.S. If you have the means to, Go run out and pick up Hardboiled Wonderland and the End of the World which will be one of the books for the book club! <3)

Love you all so much!

Juli

^deviantartfilm
The 1 year anniversary of the creation of the film category is almost upon us, and it is so important, going forward, that everyone takes the time to check it out and experience it. After a year, a great number of people still don't know it exists, so take the time and throw out some film features and clue in some new people! Keep your eyes peeled for a Fan Art event!

And I'll share a favorite of mine that was recently a Daily Deviation:







My first pick for featuring comes from the gallery of a person who is always ready and willing to help out at the drop of a hat. She's caring and spends a lot of her time trying to make sure friends and people she knows are underappreciated get the attention they deserve.
Thank you!

Since I'm currently working on a few lengthy traditional and digital commissions, I wanted to do something that would bring in some money right now, but I could do really quickly. I'm not sure if this is something I plan to do again, but if I do, it won't be at these prices!

What is the offer?

A. 10$ - 1 hour speedpaint
B. 20$ - 1 hour speedpaint + signed print

I am open to any landscape, still life, object, you name it. The only subject I will NOT do is people. My sketches usually go for around 10$, but my speedpaints are much higher quality and have been my most favorited pieces.

What do you have to do?
- Decide which package you'd like!
- Decide on a reference photo (you can decide on a subject only, and then I will find a photo (or a few photos to accommodate unusual requests, fantasy-esque/surreal/etc)
- Send me a note!

There are no limit to spots, but I will limit the number a person can buy to 5 packages max, and I won't be open long for these commissions.

Examples:



Speedpaint Commissions:
1. `joannastar - Package B
2. ~kasumichan2003 - A
3. *starflower135 - B

Current Commissions:
1. =Riabhach - Finished. Photographing & Shipping
2. =IceKrystal - Finished. Shipping
3. =kimurii - Finished. Photographing & Shipping.
4. `RetroZombie - Finished. Photographing & Shipping
5. =alicat123 - In progress
6. `GaioumonBatou - In progress, need to send you sketch (still! Gah.)
7. `joannastar - Gathering supplies!
(If I forgot you on here, poke me. xD)
