Okay, one of the worst things for a digital artist to have happen, happened. My monitor died. And this is 2 months after the warranty expired. And I have no where near the resources to replace it. I'm now using a near 15 year old 19" CRT (big box monitor with the domed glass) that has long since gone dark, and has a blurry picture. So I'm kind of in a bad place right now; needless to say, without a proper monitor I cannot work.

So I am in desperate need of help! A proper monitor to paint on is around ~$500 USD (give or take with taxes/shipping). To make this, I'm going to start a fund raiser and hope (*hope*) that enough people out there can help. I'm not normally one for taking charity as I feel guilty just thinking about, so I'm going to attempt this doing a combination of donations and commissions to earn most of the money. So if you can help, please do! I cannot stress how much it would mean to me!

Donations-->
All amounts are accepted! If enough people chip in, the amount really doesn't matter, so if you can help, please do! Even if it's only a couple of bucks.. think of it like putting money in the tip jar!

To donate $5, please use this link: $5 donation

To donate $15, please use this link: $15 donation

To donate a custom, variable amount, please use this link: Custom donation

(all donation are done via PayPal)

Commissions-->
For commissions, please send me a note here on DeviantART with your proposed project before sending any money so we can determine if the project is feasible first. But please understand, considering the nature of the situation, once it is decided to accept your project, I will need full payment up front. Finally, I'm not sure how many total commissions I will do, however I will only be able to do so many. So they will be available on a first come, first serve basis.

If you have any questions, please let me know I will try my best to answer any and all.

Okay I guess that's it. I'm trying to avoid making this sound like a sob story, but if you can help, please do! Again, I can't stress enough how much it would mean to me to get any help because this really is kind of a serious situation for me. And of course, if you can't help financially, I would really appreciate it if you could spread the word a little for me. Really, anything you can do to help a poor artist stay in business, it is hugely appreciated! Thanks!
