Find effective non-traditional self-employment to help pay for a house

I’ve been hired on as a local corporation’s “in house” desginer and I’m doing it via freelance. This gives me the time I need to work on my paintings, and argue with the Michigan State Government. So far so good, hopefully I can keep this going and replenish my savings a little since they dipped so low after the move down here to Florida.

Well, oddly enough soon after I wrote this I was contacted by a headhunter seeking a graphic designer for a local Melbourne, Florida company. He didn’t see my post here, it was just chance. Anyhow, I put together a resume and brief digital portfolio all into one PDF and sent it back for them to pass onto the client. Well, they apparently liked what they saw and have asked to meet with me right away. Tomorrow morning I must dig up the ol’ business casual wear and see what happens.

I don’t want anything fulltime since I’m painting fulltime, but some extra work to help put towards a home or new car (Patrick’s just died) would be very very helpful. Here’s to hoping that this works out just right.
