Despite the rather troubling events happening, business, apparently, marches on. In this case, mine. I've discovered that I'm it a bit of a bind; my success, while to be expected, has had three, well mostly two, rather unfortunate results.

Firstly, I have more than enough commissions to keep me busy for the next several months, and yet I'd like to take on more, expand my repertoire, and that necessitates hiring more help to assist in production which I don't currently have enough currency to hire.

Secondly, I need more space, even if I don't expand, my current workshop is getting too small for my purposes. Again, my lack of currency is an obstacle.

So despite my inclination to remain sole owner, I'm looking for investors who, for a respectable investment, will be given a percentage of ownership in my works.

If you happen to have any interest, please let me know, I have some ideas for my eventual expansion that I would be more than happy to share with you.

Well, we're all doing new things here.

Tell me about it. A couple nights ago I discovered karaoke.

Which reminds me--if you want to see some of Angela's work in advance, you can just come across the hall. I've got a couple pieces hanging on my wall.

apologies for the threadjack lol

Who are you? My agent? I am not paying you for this.

[protects-her.livejournal.com]

Well, I already sold you on Cinna. Now I'm selling Cinna on you.

[thenormalsquint]

Once again, I am not paying you for this. At least not in the Crayola coins.

[protects-her.livejournal.com]

Good thing I never liked dealing in money, anyway.

[thenormalsquint]

How do you feel about dealing in those rare yet genuine Montenegro brand ego strokes?

[protects-her.livejournal.com]

How about brushstrokes? You could paint another picture of me and do both at once.

[thenormalsquint]

This time in color?

[protects-her.livejournal.com]

You'll have to gaze deep into my eyes for a long, long time.

You know, to get the color right.

[thenormalsquint]

I can call artistic license and do it from memory.

[protects-her.livejournal.com]

You can't fake my eyes!

[thenormalsquint]

I did it once, I'll do it again.

[protects-her.livejournal.com]

That was in black and white. This is in color.

[threadthefire.livejournal.com]

Do you now? I'll have to take advantage of that, then.

[protects-her.livejournal.com]

They're hanging in the hallway next to the one Peeta did of Four. One of them is the ocean. The other's a big picture of me.

[threadthefire.livejournal.com]

I'll be sure to look at them this evening. Might be nice to have a few custom pieces for the new shop.

[protects-her.livejournal.com]

Try and bring Peeta's apron with you when you come, will you?

[threadthefire.livejournal.com]

You need... Peeta's apron? Why?

[protects-her.livejournal.com]

Sometimes he leaves a tube of frosting in the pockets. And it's a lot harder to get at it now that he doesn't live here anymore.

[threadthefire.livejournal.com]

I am not stealing frosting for you.

[protects-her.livejournal.com]

You're not stealing frosting. You're stealing the apron.

[threadthefire.livejournal.com]

I am not enabling your bad habits.

[protects-her.livejournal.com]

I miss the days when people always gave me everything I ever wanted.

[threadthefire.livejournal.com]

I'm certain you do.
