"Starving artist" in Yugoslavia
 

I received an email that I thought I would post here. I realize that most of you would probably not be interested in having a portrait done, but perhaps someone is feeling generous.

Next one.

Cynthia,

I am not a pastel artist, but I happen to have the latest Pastel Journal magazine. If you post the address of this person I can send it as a gift.

I've sent him an email requesting his address.

I'm afraid this guy may have opened a flood gate.

I say we send our books to Cynthia, she sends them on and receives back a portrait of herself.

I'd buy a used pastel book through Amazon and send it to Cynthia, if that's acceptable to her? Do you still get a commission Cynthia if it is used, or is it just using the link from your site that counts? However, paper is heavy, thus high shipping costs overseas if there's a lot of books...? Or perhaps individual sending would be good?

Cynthia, I'd be happy to buy him a book on portraits in pastel, as a gift. Add my name to the list of people who'd be willing to participate.

I'm awaiting his mailing address.

I haven't touched my pastels in years. Think I could send the lot overseas, or would they crumble to dust?

The only thing worse than an artist without books is an artist without supplies.

Here is Marko's address:

Marko Milovanovic
Vojvode Misica 62/1
18000 Nis, Serbia & Montenegro

I think it would be easier for me if each volunteer did their own mailing.


Holly,

The Amazon order has to be from a link on my site, but don't let that stop whatever you want to do.
