Oh, thank you, Larry. It is a mission for me to help my friends earn a living in this strange/exciting/challenging business. I so much appreciate it every time someone helps another artist. Together we know a lot!
Thank you for creating, moderating, and maintaining a terrific site for all artists whether just seeking advice, or attempting to increase their revenue stream. A terrific site, keep up the good work.
