Hmm, work is a crazy patchwork right now. I have the usual editing/layout stuff which is the main source of money, a couple of (not very big) art commissions, ongoing furniture-painting for the eco-paint people (which would be a huge part-rant, part-squee, friends-locked post in its own right), and various things I'm doing just in the hope someone will buy them at some stage. (This is a nice mixture of stuff, for a change. I don't expect it to be like that for long.)
I'm doing it all in the studio. A lot of studio cooperatives actually require you to promise you're not going to do any non-art work in them, but I asked the woman in charge if it'd be okay and she said "We all do these things to get by." I think they're not too bothered how I use the space so long as it is visibly an active artist's studio rather than a beige office.
Which means I'm required to produce artwork on a regular basis, no matter how busy I am with other stuff, and I quite like that - having an external force to push me into it when I start to feel I can't justify the time.
Woah, long comment, thinking out loud. I *wish* we'd had this last year!
