I’ve been unemployed since November. My unemployment has run out and I can’t find a job. I don’t have enough money to pay my bills this month.

I need at least $950 to keep my apartment, my cellphone, and my health insurance. That won’t cover my credit card, my internet, my car insurance, or any other expenses. I currently have about $400 in the bank – not even enough to cover my rent.

So what can I do for you?
– I’m a trained graphic artist. I’ve done flyers, logos, websites, web graphics, packaging, etc. You can see some of my work at: http://lydeanworks.tumblr.com
– I’m an illustrator. You can see some of my work at: http://silvercat17.deviantart.com/
– I’m a writer. I can do copy-editing and copy-writing as well. You can read some of my fiction at: http://www.curiouslylydean.net/category/writing-2/

At this point, I will take ANY full-time job except sales. Seriously.

Some stuff you can commission:
– custom monograms for $35 (examples here: http://silvercat17.deviantart.com/gallery/?offset=0)
– Illustrations are $25. I’ll draw anything that’s not illegal or really disgusting.
– Logos are $70
– Websites are $500
– Etsy / web banners are $20
– Ask! I can probably do it.

While generally I wouldn’t ask for money until I was done, because of the time crunch, I’m going to have to be paid upfront.

But what about…
– a roommate? I live in a tiny studio apartment that’s stuffed full of stuff (… I’m kind of a pack rat)
– food? I have enough canned and frozen food to last a while
– car / gas? The car is payed off and I get good gas mileage, so I should be okay for a while
– pets? I have food and bedding for them that should last a couple of months
– selling belongings? I’m working on listing stuff on eBay and selling other things other ways. As soon as I have the listings up, I’ll link to them.

PLEASE, if you can hire me or suggest anything, help me out!

My parents have already said they won’t let me move back in or give me money. I’ve listed stuff on ebay (here) – most of it is schedule to go up on Sunday between 4 and 6 pm (pst). I have two potential freelance jobs, totally about $100. I’m going to do some data entry work for my dad’s LLC. No idea how much money that’ll bring. And I’m doing web design work for my uncle, and then will be working in his machine shop.

But I don’t know if ANY of that will get me money before the end of the month.

My depression makes it really hard for me to self-motivate (which is why it’s taken me so long to get stuff up on eBay), but if you commission me to do something, I’ll say ‘I’ll have it done by X day’ and I will, unless something terrible comes up.
