My every free moment is spent developing and renewing my work.... And it is work .... For a living I hang lights for Dance Companys. I break my poor old bones doing this, but it does afford me enough free time to do what I consider I am on this earth to do ..... create. I am 43 years of age and have a responsible family life and two teenage daughters.... Thanks to the good management of my fine wife we don't owe squat to anyone ... But I do have a "Donation Button" on my sites. One really must distinguish between begging and giving the viewer the option to donate something to someone who is giving his life to his art... Long live "Donation Buttons" Comments welcome. I am a dedicated artist…

But the guy doing One Red Paperclip shouldn't be lumped into that category. He is actually making legitimate trades with people who have things to offer in exchange for what he has to offer. It's nice to see someone paying tribute to the world's oldest form of currency and leveraging the internet to extend his web of contacts.

Plain old hard work for returns is simply getting phased out today with the increase in cyber-begging, phishing, and assorted other scams/schemes. These days if they aren't criminals, they're bums.
