Just a quick blurb to explain what the ODDs are about so folks understand. I am featuring your artwork for many reasons - the most obvious one being that I like it or I find it inspiring. There are tons of things I can post here to explain why I do what I do on dA - but I think most of you already know why. I love art. And I love this site. If folks hate dA - or administrators - or features - please keep it to yourself and just politely ask that your images be removed if I have featured them in a way you don't appreciate or approve of.

HELPING OUT A DEVIANT IN NEED


You guys know that I rarely ignore a call for help. This time it is a direct call from my devpal ~artsyalicatt .

She has been quite ill and lost a lot of shifts at her work. Now she is way behind in her rent and is backed into a corner. If I could help her out of it on my own I would - but her past due rent adds up to $400.

I am offering comissioned works and features for ANY monetary help for her. She is also doing comissions.

For a donation of $25 she creates some pretty snazzy/cute duct tape wallets (see examples below)

She is also offering Etsy Shop Banners for a donation of $10

Or for ANY amount she also takes song requests (on her youtube account) - and she's BLOODY BRILLIANT. As a fellow musician/singer I was absolutely FLOORED by her gorgeous rendition of "Save Me From Myself" by Christina Aguilera. Take a listen to her here:

HER PAYPAL IS :

Examples of my work are below so you know what I am capable of creating. I will take any and all ideas.
