Hey peeps. Been kicking the idea around for months now, and I'm currently looking for a job that can pay decently. I have two kids, the second being born in January, and quite honestly I use to make a great living doing what I do. Unfortunately, the market has been flooded with a lot of glove makers and quite honestly to compete, I would have to practically give my stuff away. And I know the quality of my work. Can't do it. Hell, I won't do it. I plan on hitting 2 cons this year. Flashback and MM, but unless something incredible occurs, I will only do props part-time, if at all, for extra cash. Do I want to quit? No. But I have to think of my kids first and foremost. They are my life. Empty promises and dishonest ppl don't feed my kids and pay the bills. I will still take orders until I land a job I want, and will meet those orders as soon as possible. If things get better, I may stick around a little longer, but honestly it will be tough. I have a few orders left to get out and they will be honored before any. They are almost done anyhow. - Mark
