The Get-Beth-to-Grad-School Fundraising Campaign

Here’s the deal: I’m applying to a few different MFA programs (which I’ve talked about doing for eons), and I’ve recently realized I can’t afford all the application fees (they’re about $100 each) since a bunch of unexpected costs entered the picture (hello, eviction from beloved home!). So I’ve decided to concoct a Make Money Fast! scheme so I can come up with $250 by the end of the month.

This is what I’m doing:
On my Etsy page, I’ve listed two new products: the $6 surprise and the $15 surprise. For $6, you get a surprise 5”x7” print, and for $15, you get a surprise 8.5x11” print. One in five sales of each will get a surprise original! (you can up your chances by buying several)

Also, I’ve created the coupon code HIGHERLEARNING that you can apply to any other listing on the site (custom unicorn drawings excluded) to receive a 20% discount. And, of course, I have original art and commissions and stuff too that you can email me about. A lot of my other art is here or here. It would be AMAZING if you could help out or get your friends to help out.

And if you can’t afford it but you’d like to help out, REBLOG REBLOG REBLOG. I hate to be an attention whore, but I need all the help I can get.
