    Affordable Care Act and the Freelance Artist

    December 10, 2018 /

    This webinar is FREE provided by the Graphic Artist Guild, but you must register to participate. FREE Webinar Wednesday, December 12 at 2 p.m. EST (1 p.m. CST, noon MST, 11 a.m. PST) The enrollment period for health insurance via the public exchanges has been shortened by an additional two weeks, ending on December 15. But the Affordable Care Act (ACA) is still around, and with a change in House leadership, probably not going anywhere.

    Victories. Auto-immune disorder, brain fog, and getting my life and art back.

    May 18, 2017 /

    Since late last year, I’ve been getting treatment for an auto-immune disorder, a disease which effects my endocrine system. I’ve seen a major difference in my struggles with brain fog and fatigue. After I first got my diagnosis and had a few weeks of treatment, I felt even worse. I wrote a number of posts on life hacks I’ve used with varying degrees of success in my art career, assuming the twilight awareness I experienced would be the way I would have to live forever. However, I’ve had little difficulty with brain fog over the last 60-90 days. With few exceptions, my brain is clear. I can now recall strings…
