I lock myself in my studio, and ponder if whoring my work off is wise. I feel as if every painting is a piece of me, and to simply reduce their value to pay bills... is devaluing myself. I love working, am willing to work; but no one will hire me. I hate it. I am in debt, drowning it. The IRS has leins against my banks accounts... nothing ever works out.

 There was a time, when I would make 10,000 a week. Selling paintings. Now I'm lucky to pay my half of the bills. At best. I am destitute, and broke, I do need help. I would be willing to wholesale artwork to someone willing to help me out, as long as it's a good home where it will be admired, rather than hung and ignored.

SOME ONE PLEASE HELP ME HELP MYSELF.  I'm losing my sanity to overdue bills, and the feds.

My name Is Brian Murphy. I am 25 years old, do not own a home, or have steady work. God granted me one talent, and that's painting. I have no real job skills, or much experience. I find myself doing odd jobs; to pay the bills. Leasing apartments for a friend, I started a house cleaning business that failed. CraigsList Labor jobs.

 I have a decent education. I consider myself a good person, but no-one will hire me. I have no idea why. I am desperate for money, always. I can always squeak bills, but I've had many many close calls.

 I am not looking for a hand out, I am looking for a leg up. I am willing to paint to part with my works for cheap. I've had gallery showings in Manhattan where my work would sell for thousands. Now, no-one is interested in buying my work.

 Are you? I am willing to work for money, I do not want handouts.
