What would you do?

I have to second that. If you are having phone calls about work, in THIS eco sitcho, then you can
only expect more to come when things are great. And people appreciate artists who do consistently
good work and they will stay with them. I do work similar to you, or I imagine that I do. I am a
TV commercial producer that can work Photoshop and Lightwave 3D. I found myself without a TV job a
few years back and decided I was not going to panic. I made a commercial in my pajamas for a company
I found in the phone book, purely speculative, burned the DVD and sent it to them. They hired me rather than
buy the spot for a thousand dollars. The very first commercial I made at home in my PJs.
So I am back to being shackled, but to tell you the truth, I would have
to really hustle to keep my income steady by selling 2-3 spots a month on spec. But to prove that it could
be done, and to have it show itself to be true right there before my eyes, gave me enormous confidence.
