That awkward moment when you quit your full time job to pursue your passions and your vehicle of independence ends up breaking down.

Since leaving my corporate job of 4 years for the pursuit of artistic/entrepreneurial passions it’s been an uphill battle towards financial stability. I have a van that I’ve owned for 6 years now was supposed to help ensure that freedom but after some mechanics issues, my financial cushion is deteriorating faster than I can replenish. This is a big hit since I have to be back on the road soon to vend at more markets across the country. I feel like I’ve exhausted the markets in OC and LA and now was the time to take my art/products out to the rest of the world.

After a successful weekend of sales in Texas, the van repairs as well as gas getting to the event has absorbed any profits made. With diminished inventory, it’s gonna be difficult to stabilize. But I believe in what I’m selling I just need a little help. 

Here’s a photo of the van at its last national park visit during Memorial Day. Whit sands national park in New Mexico. This van has seen a lot in its 200,000 mile life. A big break was bound to happen and it just so happened right in the middle of my most ambitious moment in life
