Well, we did our Taxes today and were getting .... ahh... quite a bit back! We never get tax money back! A majority of it was my part time job at Barnes and Nobles and White Stag Studios write offs / slow sales.

Then, I was doing the math and figured out at my current hours (15 hours a week) it was almost 8 months of paycheck!

So, I was talking to hubby and we decided it was time for me to leave my part time job, and come home and be serious about White Stag Studios / Starrydance.com

Now, this is a HUGE leap for us. Sure, Ive been randomly working on art for a few years but never really much beyond 'hobby' and the conventions sure helped me kick it up a notch. I was hoping to go home and 'do more art' sometime this year but was REALLY nervous about the ability to 'cover' my paycheck with art sales.


Long story short, Ill be working there till the end of the Month and then coming home and Art, art, art, art! Ill have basically the rest of the year to try to make a serious go at it, with 3 conventions to do. Ill have to do 'some' fan art for the conventions, but the rest can be commissions, fantasy, and all things I <3.

So heres for Uncle Sam!
