the eight ball

buy artwork, charity, good investment, help me again, paypal, starving artist fund.

people, friends, family,

i can't sleep and i can't paint when i am so worried about money and physical problems. you can all be my brother theo, if you know what that means. vincent van gogh would never have been able to paint if his brother hadn't helped him. i'm not comparing my artwork to his, just my desperateness.

i hate to do this but i have to beg.
i am really behind the eight ball. i don't eat out and i don't go to the theatre.

there are three automatic payments coming up before my disability check comes on the first. that's going to cost me another ninety dollars in overdrafts. time warner again, my esurance and netflix.
if you look closely you can see that even a .97 arbitrary charge cost me $30. i'm going to iron this all out and use the paypal card for recurring payments until 'my ship comes in'

my cable, internet and phone are all time warner.

every month they disconnect me because they won't change my payment date one single
day. i tried to reason with them but they were going

to shut me
down again… it's so agravating. i tried to talk to the

bank to give the little leeway but they are making so much money on me why should they overlook a little 24 hour meeting of ends.

i attached this page so you can see the problem and

maybe help to
catch me up. then i can make it on what i get.

there's more to
how this happened but it all boils down to the time

warner payment
which started this landslide. i thought i was getting an advance
on the venice mural job or i wouldn't have done it.

love,
scott

it you go to the I_ArtMan website, hungryeyegraphics.com, there is a paypal button for artist's relief fund. anything will help. even $2 from 30 people would cover my car insurance. i will be so thankful for any help you can afford.

you could even buy a drawing or a painting that is available.
once again i am so sorry to put you in the uncomfortable position of having to say no. or worse still that this will permanently change some people opinion of me. it's just a point of view.

boardwalk blues, forgery, paypal

just a week after my plea for help from the world in the form of the 'artist's relief fund' paypal button somebody sent me a cashiers check for $1,000. i was so happy. i was giddy with relief. it turned out to be a forgery the bank said and it bounced. it came with no note about what it was for. i'm so glad i didn't draw on it or i'd be in big trouble now.

i am dying to get back to painting again really.

back to the drawing board

going back to the boardwalk
to see if i can find any nuggets of gold
or nougats of art which bump up
against the bow of my ghost ship

it's a lonely cold world of greasy meanies
and madmen and no less mad women
in the drift of a strong current …

artist's survival fund, help me, paypal

or look at the left hand bottom corner for paypal link.

now let's see if anyone will help. if you help with more than $25 i will send you an original drawing from the link:

several people suggested that i try this paypal button. it's very simple as a donate button.
according to paypal you can send a donation directly to my paypal account for any amount… even a dollar.

yes, this can definitly be considered to be begging. it won't be the first time i've been reduced to begging to survive. and as the mulla said "if i survive this life, i'll be surprised."

go ahead… give it a try… it'll only take a minute.

if i could just get my nose above water with a little help from everyone, it will be a miracle.
don't worry… it's anonymous. i won't broadcast any names in a flurry of gratitude.
i will blog on the success or failure of this last ditch effort.

i've worked my whole life as an artist for next to nothing. now i am sick and cornered and can't afford to be alive.

just send one dollar even…
