Trials in Making Money

My tale. Lol, it all started this Saturday. It was bad, probably because there wasn't even anyone around to come see our work, or people didn't bring any money with them at all. (since its open day and all) We had some people making orders, and some people buying. Overall, we lost a lot of money. If only we had printed only High Quality pieces. But I don't blame anyone, because it gets better.

Well, our group made a name for ourselves, not just by fluke, but with the effort we put into our work. We put a lot of love, thought, sweat and blood into our works. We built a wall with our bare hands, scarred ourselves, bled, and sweat during the process. Honestly, you don't see that kind of teamwork all the time. We stuck together for a whole day (excluding a few, who came the day before, or went home early, lol) and finished building the wall. When I got back from tuition, (had to go >_>) they had already started spraying the wall. Teachers who we thought were bad helped us out, and teachers we thought were good turned their back on us and insulted us. Well, it drove us to keep on trying. Eventually, we were done. We appeared in yesterday's Borneo Bulletin. =)

Hmm, well, other than that, we were the only Art class students specially requested to participate along with the Science Students in Science Week. Talk about special privelages. =P We got to skip class, take turns and all that. Without my friends and their support, I'd be nowhere near that peak that I'm standing on right now. The work we do, even if we are making losses instead of profits, we are still enjoying it all the same.

Well, yesterday was the first day. We spent $150 on 3 ink cartridges, $40 on photo quality paper. Thats $190. Yesterday and today, we have already earned ourselves $100+. We are hoping to cover our losses and then split the money amongst ourselves. But hey, theres no business that starts without any losses.

Anyhow, we were requested to be there until Thursday. We sell our works for $3 per high quality piece, and $2 for regular quality pieces. If you request a custom made one, it'll be $5 or higher, depending on your request. This is considered very cheap because, outside in studios, they charge you $3 - $5 for service, and printing itself costs $5 - $10 (A4 sized). Yet, the people in our school who carry loads of cash, refuse to support us, saying that our work isn't original (that they've seen it somewhere else, and if I found out where, I'd kill the person for plagiarism) and claiming that we are OVERPRICING. God, if only they knew. We are already making it very cheap for students to afford. =
Anyways, that will be all for now, I will blog again when I can. And I'm wondering who that Anonymous person is. Got tuition later, lol. Really tiring, I'm taking a week off from drumming, so I can concentrate on the Art stuff. Hopefully my internet won't be down anymore. Take care everyone.
