Well it seems you have a plan, good luck mate.
Side note, Obama will probably do more for small business than any Republican ever did, keep an eye out for the changes soon (as long as the Republicans do not persist on saying NO to everything)

Such as forcing us to supply our employees with health care...which the stuff through my wifes work is $1800 a month. I dont know about you but that would be tough to swing on top of wages to a worker.

You preferred the status quo?
(moved topic to corner bar)

I prefer not to be owned by anyone, or anything. Governments included.

Pete, it is bad here but that makes me think it must be worse in the US.
Being strictly a cad monkey / modeller (- not by any means a visualiser) I have been working freelance for 3 years now. After a very hard / soul destroying first 2 years, in the last year I have been very lucky to find a client that has now given me enough work that I work solely for them, in-house. It keeps me in contact with the local architectural network but it has been quite a move away from what I was doing. Actual design work is about a quarter of the job but in this climate I can live with that and they are very nice people to work for. Just the same as regular freelancing though, currently I have worked 16 days straight and will be working this coming weekend too.
What was my point?, oh yes:

Not only does one need to keep the pipeline full but also collect payments of completed jobs.
I'm not suited at this ... that's where my wife comes in, she knows my value and she knows the amount of work I put into every project. I trust her to handle my finances as it distracts from my creativity.My girlfriend does the exact same thing for me, allowing her to do this (or rather she decided that that is how it has to be done) is the best decision I/she ever made.

Politics aside, as a freelancer how often do your clients require printed copies of your illustrations. And do you use a printshop for that, if not what kind of plotter do you use?
-
All in one solution.

As a budding Graphic business, would you be willing show us a couple of images?
I love the discussions, but I always like pretty pictures too.

Here are a couple of renders of a project im doing for design class. Im really more of an NPR kind of guy, and traditional style medias. But doing this stuff has been fun. Keep in mind that I only seriously dove into sketchup with this project, about 6 weeks ago, although I have had it on my comp for a year or more. And this is the first time I have done renderings...oh the precious lighting.
Im still not completely satisfied, but all my instructors are in the stoneage and this stuff is beyond them, so I will likely get a B just because they dont know how to grade it (cause it wasnt done with markers and pencils)
Oh well
Any comments are welcomed.
