Although I haven't been posting to JSVB regularly enough, I have been working at least for a while. Now I find I have to bill my clients, and this despite having entered my phase of Progressive Summer Laziness (PSZ). The business aspect of art I find daunting although as my wife will point out I do like money enough.
I decided that if I had to write up a bill, I may as well make it something worth looking at, and to try to enjoy the process. I co-opted the Art-Nouveau drawing of the girl on a swing from JSVB Post #1404 (please click here to see it) into a full-page design. I've blocked out the particulars, but the basics are that I tend to charge $40 an hour.
The design incorporates a number of things that I can see if I go on a walk around the block: fruit and berries, dragonflies and cat-tails, running streams and wild salmon. I did try to include a bear in the picture, but it got too cluttered.
The client wasn't expecting this invoice and has been stunned into submission, which I see as proper.
