so, this is the way i'm doing this...
if you want to buy a specific thing, buy a specific thing. i'll make a few bucks off of it.
but if you want to pay my rent, i'll take that too :)

yeah, i'm fishing for big donors.
listen. i consider what i do to be significant art. $800 for a painting is pretty cheap. $800 for 100 paintings is practically giving it away.
i think that that may be one of the longer term changes in the collapse of the music industry. that's how this used to work before it was commodified: artists had to rely on donors.
does that open me up to suggestions? well, i dunno. pay my rent, and maybe we can talk about it.
but, music can't be free. musicians have bills to pay. so, we can either all pay a little, or the wealthy can pay a lot. and the latter is likely to lead to a deficit of access, if it takes off.
i don't have any plans to take down the per-album purchases. but if things continue as they are, we may have little choice but to look for wealthy donors and tell the masses to fuck off.
