good morning all :-)

I'd really like to be able to do the signs, landscape stones and charcoals in liu of office politics and stress. Help an artist out and share the link - http://katehagerartist.com. If just a minute piece of this American population were to order, buy something already done I could replace this drafting income. I've done the numbers...being in engineering for 14 years numbers are a habit lol. It's like less than 0.25% ordering or buying an hours worth of work. That's a full time pay the bills income!  I have to find one batch yet but have both originals and prints for sale, framed or unframed. Sign work WELCOME, can be done on wood or a stone at your house if your local to me.

Don't forget about the bags - reusable, washable, soooo many uses, and your supporting art - http://fineartamerica.com/profiles/kate-hager/shop

Monday Monday

Hope all had a good weekend! We did a benefit for a friend whose wheelchair died (paraplegic) so no real time to work on next sign...but I did get a stone done :-) Orders are welcome always, still trying to get this off the ground and replace the office job. I am fighting an ear infection today so the computer screen and walking up and down and up and down the office stairs is gonna be NOT fun. Drop me a line through here or http://katehagerartist.com....or katehagerartist@yahoo for sign work discussion. yes the Bass is a patio stone, concrete painted :p

reusable bags, machine washable

http://fineartamerica.com/profiles/kate-hager/shop to buy these cool bags. Double stitched bags for the beach, school, shopping, market....reusable and washable with a few designs to choose from.

Art work too, not just signs :-)

I'm going through the art taking pics....and will be replacing and updating them as I get better ones. Trying to come up with prices that are competitive with others and shipping included within the USA - http://fineartamerica.com/profiles/kate-hager.html

goals written

OK written goals Sell (1) 18x24 charcoal, (1-2) 16x20 charcoals (20) landscape stones (1) acrylic painting per month

(6-8) classes of 10-12 kids each 3-4 days a week 

Know a home schooling group in mid Michigan near Greenville/Ionia/Carson City - have them contact me if interested in a teacher. I'd like to do classes 3 or 4 days a week, 1 1/2 to 2 hour classes meeting every other week for 40 weeks at a cost of $200 per child. I would come to the group location up to 35 miles from my home.

(1) batch goat milk soap 

farm/garden and market 2 days a week

that catch 22, but it will work :)

Working the full time job to pay bills and trying to get both businesses off the ground to replace that full time job...plus grandkids and a PUPPY lol. Tired but got a few stones started that will finish up this week. Looking forward to days of signs, art, garden and farm with NO OFFICE work taking up all day. Need the orders...or 5 numbers on the powerball...that would work too. Or donations by somebody just wanting to see a non-GMO farm up running and producing, yeah that be ok too. Drop on by the website and pass it along, the more it gets shared the more chance I have of working my way out of the office.

design shops in mid- Michigan, local artist looking for work

My work isn't on a computer, it's all hand painted, hand drawn original one of a kind...but I also need an income unless you people start sending me sign work that is :-)

Aside from that I work as a draftsman - http://cadengineeringtalk.blogspot.com if your interested in that to follow.. But am looking to get out of the office and the life that goes with it. I'm open to working in a wrap shop, graphic design shop and let me artistic knowledge and skill help bring you new ideas and designs. I have to have a decent livable wage, right now I charge $20 an hour for my art and make $19 an hour drafting. Bills need to be paid and I am the wage earner in our family. Thus being said if you have work close to Greenville/Belding/Sheridan/Carson City - 34-40 hours a week drop me a line.
