For a fair amount, actually.
Yes, I got a deposit.
People don’t typically commission Gonks, they’re very DIY. I thought maybe he was pulling my leg but he’s actually an enormous Gonk droid enthusiast with a huge private collection and.. well.. wow. I guess he really liked my style?
The Gonk pictured is Izzy’s from Halloween. He offered to buy it, but I told him that Izzy would be apoplectic if I sold it, and that’s the truth.
(It says “Elizabeth” on the side in Aurebesh, although I munged the characters a bit.)
Quite right. No one expects the Izzyquisition.
This is no replacement for my salary, but it’s a start. :-/
The Yale job I went to 5 interviews for didn’t happen. Apparently I had a hostile reference, because that’s where the whole thing suddenly died.
Why they check references LAST if they’re so important, I don’t know.
