In answer to your question, one year I claimed my artwork as a business, had a business license and did logos, layout, brochures, etc for people. I didn't like it and am not good at keeping paperwork in the right places so dropped it the next year and decided to do my art for me, not others. Although I consider it every once in awhile again. It's great to make money doing what you love and would do anyway!PAK ARThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11985770093478778520noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3069433582032233420.post-47790041423024737292010-03-27T08:37:52.885-07:002010-03-27T08:37:52.885-07:00Artymess, you guessed correctly.

Oy Vey! Just want to have fun, but stay legal with the feds and state! LOL<br />Nice to know you've been selling your work for years! Wonderful to be so successful.
