      <body>yeah it is super corporate....and that probably isn't a lot of peoples cup o' tea.

I guess it's a different client base. I just see a lot of artists on here hustling for the local/small band scene for smaller budgets....

and getting into a design loop...while fun...really limited to what the bands budgets are.

where the corporate market price for some of this same art is way past the typical $250-$500 range most people charge.

especially when you get into promotional stuff, ads, and product design....we're really talking $2-3K per illustration.

I guess it just takes sucking it up and going suit on occasion.</body>

      <body>I've been using this more for my radio station than anything else, making some great connections with people at record labels and vendor agents for the bigger tours.

      <body>Hahaha i love these guys reactions:

&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;cite&gt;Jon Kruse said:&lt;/cite&gt; I'm on there. What's so great about it?&lt;/blockquote&gt;

&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;cite&gt;quakerninja said:&lt;/cite&gt; I don't like it, a little to suit and tie for my taste.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Thought it was funny...

I had a LinkedIn once but never used it so i deleted my account. It's just too much social stuff to update and keep track of if you ask me. And it just wasn't my cup of tea.</body>
