Hello world! I felt compelled to modify one of those signs we are seeing on facebook. Please feel free to copy this one to your desktop and post it on your blog.

(for a larger picture visit: http://melaniemichele.com/free.html)

I am an artist.

This does not mean I will work for free.

I have bills just like you do.

Thank you for understanding.

And please think twice before asking me to

donate art for your charity.

* Unless it is to help another artist.

Because it doesn’t help me one bit with exposure.

Instead, Host an old fashion Cake Walk,

Who doesn’t want to win a cake?
