Stephen Hold on Before you Letterheads get out a torch to flame me for trying to help my family out. As you others know its pretty hard to sell a sign in the winter in Canada. I am gonna give anybody that really helps me out a free disc.I'm only asking for a couple graphics not a whole disc.I am stuck at home on disability insurance and I need to make money so what would you do? I have been reading every post here every day and I thought if anybody could help me its all u letterheads.........guess not sorry if I offended anyone with my stupid post.

There are a lot of scam artist on the net. One of the red flags of a scam artist is when they use an e-mail address such as Hotmail. Also, you've only put up three posts since you've registered. So, no one here knows you and you are asking for someone else's work for free.
I'm sure you can understand the "appearance".
I'm not saying that you are doing anything improper or that you are a scammer. What I am saying is that if you are on the level, you need to understand people's skepticism.
We're a bit like a family around here and we want to know who we are dealing with before start giving away our own hard-earned work.

I'm really not trying to scam anyone,But I see your point.I've seen you guys really tie into some people,LOL I just don't know what to do,My son was born with a rare disorder called prune belly syndrome and this year the convention is in Sandpoint Idaho,only 1700km away so I really am trying to make a cool graphics disc that I can sell.I would print most of the people's names in the credits on the disc...and some of you old signguys are pretty wicked.Just to prove I'm legit check out my son's webpage at http://www.babiesonline.com/babies/e/eryk/

HiYa Steve, I would be happy to draw a black and white scanable piece of original art work for your CD. As ALL my work is "custom" anyway,I just need to know what you desire done. Hottest Selling is a very relative term. My"hottest seller" is Signs Some with line drawings,others without! More SPECIFIC request are needed here. hope this helps

I read a post form Jack Wills (i think), anyway he was saying how tough it was to make money selling vector CD's, you might want to look that one up if possible. But if you e-mail me I have some cars that might work for you.

With all the million dollar companies out there selling graphic CD's & million dollar advertising budgets to boot I can't see anyone doing this & making enough money to buy groceries much less help with hospital bils. Why not ask the radio stations & the community for help? Sure seems like an awful tough way to raise money or more like impossible to make enough to make a dent, a tiny dent. But I do wish you all the luck in the world. PS: I agree about the Hotmail thing when I see people who use that I think these people don't want you to know who they are or how to get in touch with them without them wanting you too.
