Need funds to hire adoption investigator

[PoniesYeah]

Hey guys. It’s been years since I was here.
I used to hang around the art board constantly. Then customs became my home away from home. But since my clay allergy that financial avenue has dried up.
I’m a stay at home mom and part time freelancer.  I make juuuust enough to purchase my own clothes and pay off my own medical bills, while bobbing in and out of debt.

But as I get older the naggin pull to find my birth family becomes greater.
Any paper work regarding my adoption is sealed until my death. Which I’m sure is because it wasn’t exactly legal. Basically i’m  a bought baby. The most my parents ever said about it was that a sum (five or six hundred) was exchanged at a farm and they got themselves a behbeh.
I never got a full or even consistent story and they knew nothing about my birth parents.
Now that my adoptive mother has passed I have zero resources to draw from. So now it’s time to hire someone. And they ain’t cheap, I need $1800 get this off the ground.
I almost had enough last year to hire a company but a major sale fell through plus I was going through physical therapy for my spine and accumulated a stack of bills to pay off. AND the G D House was having a moisture / black mold issue we had to take care of.

It was the snowball effect.

So here I am to try again... back when I frequented this community I drew "tasteful nudes" unfortunately I don’t have any copies left. I allowed my arena gallery to close. If anyone here remembers me or maybe you have one of my drawings saved, I’d appreciate you posting it here. If only for my own memory lane stroll.

All I could find was this from google image search.

With Christmas coming I’m hoping to get a few commissions or maybe sell a craft or two out of my Etsy shop. Heads up, the Etsy shop is centered on crafts and illustration inspired by my indigenous roots. No pewnies, sorry.

But you can see some of my work at the following sites.
Folio site: tamisery.com
Instagram: @tamiserystreet
Etsy shop: tamisery.etsy.com

Here’s a starting price list.
Prices will go up depending on character count and amount of detail.
Black / white pencil sketch $25
Color (pencil or marker) sketch $35
Full color (pencil or marker) $60

Here’s an example of a B/W sketch from my neglected DA page.

Good luck with your commissions- and with finding your birth family. 

I don't have any examples of your work alas, but I do recall your work and your customs were always really impressive

You should look into TLC's "Long Lost Family".  Maybe they'd help you, possibly even pay you, as long as they get the right to put you on tv.

Also, doing your DNA on ancestry.com may help you find a family line as well.

Never herd of that show. We haven’t had cable in years.
I did 23 and me. No close links. I’ve contacted a few 3rd, 4th and three 2nd cousins. Only on reply and she went silent on me.
She was a really good chance to find my bio-dad. Gave me a couple names but can’t find anything.
I’ll check the show out. Thanks.

I remember you from way back though I just lurked around the custom forum so you would not remember me.  However, I specifically remember being in awe of your custom ponies, and the sculpting on them was always some of the best I have ever seen.  Always wondered what happened to you and had no idea you had an allergy that prevented you from continuing down that route.

Best of luck to you on your search, and I will check out your Etsy store as well.

Welcome back!

I remember your customs and I've been following your recent work but I didn't know you used to frequent the art forum! That was before my time.

Best of luck with your search and your commissions!

I will see what I have next week after some bills
