if you were to send me some cash tomorrow, that is probably exactly what i'd do; immediately put my stuff in storage in windsor, and escape to the united states, scope out the scene in detroit for a bit and try to figure out which market is best for my art.
i didn't have the benefit of rich parents that most artists with my aspirations list do. real life is that it's pretty much a pre-requisite that you need to have some cash up front, and that's the only way to get it. they wanted me to work for the government, or something; to do a stupid, boring day job and raise a family. i'm not remotely interested.
they did give me the opportunity to build the life i wanted, but then wouldn't let me live it. it's extremely frustrating. nobody can save money in this economy, and i need to dissolve and start again.
if i could get to $20,000, i'd do it, although i'd obviously like a bit more.
