Well, I know I haven't sold any art since January (at FurCob, and even then sales were absolutely horrible in comparison to previous years), and I'm about to lose my art-related job at the end of the month due to absolutely no money coming in. Boss can't afford to pay me anymore. I sure as hell feel the economy spiraling down. But my livelihood is considered to be a luxury, so when people are tight on cash art is the first thing to go.
With gas on the rise, and thus food prices on the rise and in turn my rent going up another 50$ a month, it's pretty bad from where I'm standing.
But yes, anything dealing with computers is on a rise. I was just talking with dour and his friend/co-worker about that last night, how I wish I were computer-smart so I could have some stable income right now. Both of them are actually doing great at work. But meh. It's still not enough to cover the rising costs of food and such.
