Loser


I painted this portrait of my cat, Billy, when I was in college.  It took about 2 days.  I sold it on eBay, but I didn't get the price I wanted which was something over $100.  Instead it sold for $7 to some nice gentleman in Georgia.  Unfortunately, the Postal Service said it would never make it there (from the west coast) in one piece.  They referred me to UPS who charged me $100 to ship it.  I had only set the shipping price to $15 or so.  The guy liked the painting, but I sure got screwed.  They should make business classes a requirement for art students!
