Hispanic y Latino News/Info :: August 21st, 2009
Tagged: summaryAs many of my long-time readers will know I have had ups and downs when it comes to this site. With the current recession, things got worse for many of us and I wasn’t spared. I have tried many things to make this a viable business and now I am adding another. I am now selling T-shirts, etc with my designs on them. Yes, you probably didn’t know – but I am an artist as well and I finally decided to take the plunge and hook the 2 together (this site and my art). So please if nothing else go a take a peek at some of my designs and if you like and can afford perhaps buy one or twenty at www.cafepress.com/unsungart. – Gracias, Tomás
