Someone (serious) wanted to purchase my Mother Caribbean painting but like I never priced it because I never thought I'd want to let it go. She was like "don't be shy just call your price" sksks I told her I'll quote her in a couple days so she ended up buying a print until

This other guy came and told me he needed a custom painting the same size. I was letting him know the prices for other (smaller) sizes and showing him my work and he was like " you don't have to sell to me..

..I know your work and I know you're capable. Price don't matter just quote me. I'll be leaving in November, is it possible to get it before then?" LISTEN

Someone that works for a publisher of a Caribbean books wanted an illustrator. I was ready to give her deets of someone that does digital art because that's not my field but then she said "no no we need YOUR portraits, we can just scan them and add them in our books. We really...

haven't seen much people from the region that paints faces like you" AYOOOOO
She came directly to my booth to propose the job to me specifically and I almost thought I wasn't capable?! I will never do that again
