Reaching for a DREAM

I really can not believe I am about to do, what I am going to do but I really don't know what else to do I have exhausted all conventional methods so here goes nothing. I am an everyday average 43 year old American citizen with a dream! I want to make a living as an artist as do half the artist I know, that is as plain as I can put it ! And this is probally one of the hardest professions in the world to break into. I don't want to be rich just able to support my family! I don't really care if I ever become a well known famous artist,I just want to be able to do what I love and that is create art ! comics ,paintings ,drawings etc...If anyone at all is willing to give a hard working loyal individual a chance to prove himself please respond to this bulletin. There has to be someone that knows someone that still believes in not giving a hand out but a hand up! A chance to prove that I am worth taking a chance on! This may sound like begging but it's not ! I have been on my own since I was 18. I learned very early in life that anything worth having or doing is worth working for it ! I put myself through college at the age of 33 to try and make that dream come true only to find after numerous interviews that I was to old ( would have to pay more than your typical college grad due to my age) or did not have the experience( wanted someone younger to mold and shape and not pay as much) to be a Graphic artist How can you get experience if they wont take the chance on you? There has to be a individual or a company here on the internet with the millions that are on here who needs a good comic or book artist !a painter or a storyboard artist. Maybe you know someone that knows someone. All I am asking for is a chance to prove that I can be what I have always wanted to be! I have to much pride to ask for something for nothing so if anyone that is serious and is willing to respond to this bulletin and can actually employ me give me 12 months to prove that I can be an asset to your company! If at the end of that 12 months you decide that I am not the person for you then no harm no foul and no hard feelings on my end! I have tried conventional means to make my dream come true and and now I am trying to make an opportunity for myself I may not be Jim Lee or Frank Miller or Norman Rockwell but I am an artist and as with anything I can only improve! I know most likely this bulletin will not amount to anything but I am trying to do what all Americans want to do, and that is live the American Dream! What do I have to loose? Other than someone thinking I silly for posting a bulletin like this. So if by chance this bulletine does reach that last person in America that believes in good old fashioned hard work and the chance to prove ones self then by all means please respond to this bulletin!
