I'm an artist, specifically a comic artist in my focus, and specifically a gay comic artist.

I've always tried to be a good member of the community, here and in terms of the gay community at large. I'm not a blind follower of course – I call things as I see them -- but I have tried as best I can, in every way I can, to live the best life I can live and to do as much as I can to help the cause of progress and equality.

Unfortunately, for a number of reasons, things are hard right now. It's basically a time-wasting meat market with the Artist's Market (a publication with listings for potential contract gigs), and I'm hard up for good reliable paying work. So I thought I'd come to you all and see if anyone had any good suggestions, projects that could use a professional artist, ideas, or could point me to some places in our "gay family" looking for the kind of work I can do.

I'd appreciate it if you could keep these to useful and polite suggestions, though; due to disability, this is really the only work I can do, and it is work I have trained in for most of my life now. As an artist, I also have a style that is all my own, and I can't just change that; I'm not looking for critique. I work digitally, which shouldn't be a problem for a modern site, publication, or project, and of course I know how to create things ready for physical publishing if needed. My turnaround is less than 14 days, and I never miss a deadline. That's pretty much unheard-of in this industry.

I have a site at http://hushicho.wix.com/probpro if you're interested. I don't just do comics, of course, and I work in a variety of media and genres.

Thanks in advance for helping. I appreciate it very much.
