Hello TeamLiquidians!!

Incoming randomness and brain spurts coming, brace yourself....

Following your passion...I had no Idea the dedication and love you have to have in order to ride the ride it is...Its been a bit tough lately living the "starving artist" lifestyle. Luckily for my I have my wife who does well enough to support my ass as well as the family. I bring in a bit, and its growing slowly...I need that the slow build.

My passion and love of working with balloons is counter balanced with my dread and lack of willingness and motivation on the paper/biz side of things..I am working on it.. slowly.

My weekends and evenings are no longer times I share with my family. I am out at an event, a party, or working for tips only to even out the slow times...I am lucky I have a place that lets me come in and harass the customers.. they even give me a free drink(soda/tea)!

I really hope I am strong enough and disciplined enough to follow through on all things, more so on the tough things for me. I love all aspects of my work.

We all dream of finding that thing that drives us that makes us and shapes us into better people...I have found it and still moan ...hahah to be human is such a crazy damn thing, crazy damn lovely I think!!

Have a wonderful day and a better Morrow!!

Editing in the part of the Launch party that had my Balloons in it!!! Thank you Heyoka, TeamLiquid, Day[9], and Husky !!

Its weird..Life.. two things I truly believe that's everything happens for a reason the other is its going to be all right. With out the pit stops the slacking the play the F$#king off the set backs. We miss all those little bits and bops (love that saying) that we end up "picking up" along the way they that end up making us, shaping us into hopefully a better more understanding and whole human being Quote by me lol!!

You have such amazing talent. You mentioned that you're having some money problems, I'm guessing that means you're not bringing much revenue based on what you're doing? Would you mind posting what your current strategy is? There are a lot of knowledgeable people on TL and I bet some may be willing to help in giving you ideas on how you can better get your business out there and thus bring in more revenue.

For example;

1. http://www.kickstarter.com/ They love this kind of stuff. I did a quick seach and couldn't find anything similar to what you do, which is great. If you need a few grand for working capital they're great at providing that.

2. Have you contacted Blizzard? Your stuff would be great at conventions like Blizzcon.

3. I had a look at the websites linked in your profile. I don't think you should post prices. Especially things like "Starting at $35", "As low as $75.00 !!".
What you make are works of art. Low prices should not be the thing that attracts people. Your work does that. People have no idea what a giant "Yoda" should cost.
Just like if you walk through a museum and see a painting, most likely you have no idea how much its worth. But if theres a tag next to it that says "TAKE THIS HOME FOR THE LOW LOW PRICE OF $50", I bet you not only will no one buy it, they'll also think less of the painting.

That's all I've got now. I'm sure others will come up with much better ideas than I have. I hope it helps.
