Calling all retailers, grocers and mechanics! This is a great opportunity to showcase your products and skills!
I'm a working artist, and I eat food and drive a car and use stuff. This is your chance to let others know how great your food is, how great your mechanic skills are. I just need two weeks worth of groceries, a new exhaust for my car, and a rent payment.
Please submit via my Paypal account, or gift cards, and I'll promptly review and let you know if you're awesome enough to pay my bills!
This is a great opportunity for vendors, as I'll promptly spread the word to others as to how willing you are to give away your work product! I have lots of Social Media friends and this could be big exposure for your business!
Act fast! I'm out of ketchup and down to a quarter tank of gas.

"Submit a free design, and we'll pick one and give you a t-shirt!" Oh, and could you supply the art in t-shirt format, and upload it in Microsoft Word?"

(101,361 posts)Sainsburys has apologised after one of its stores placed an ad calling for an artist to decorate the staff canteen for free. The store in Camden Road, north London, said it was looking for an ambitious artist to voluntarily refurbish our canteen. The ad added that the artist would gain experience in the creative industry while making a comfortable area for our employees to escape to.
The ad, placed in the Camden New Journal, sparked a backlash on social media. In a letter to the supermarket chain posted on Twitter, Conor Collins, an artist, wrote: I am looking for a company worth £150,000,000 to feed all of my artist friends in Manchester.
In the post, Collins suggests Sainsburys take some of the millions you fork out to your CEOs and pay for someone to do work for you so that the concept of starving artist wouldnt have to be a thing.
