                    What do you want... actual numbers?

                    I don't think any real designer is going to cough that info up... at least accurately.

                            been doing it for a little while now.. and i'm probably one of a few that have never had a live portfolio... plugged myself.. or shown many people my work.

                            there are good months... bad months.. really good months... and really bad months... in the end, if you keep the people writing the checks happy, you should come out ok.

                            how's that for a non-answer? : )

                                                Mostly every next month is a bit better, but there is a top ofcourse in how much you can handle and stuff like that.

                                                Seriously why you want to know, try it yourslef and lets see if you are still doing it next year. It's a tough biz to be in specially with all the outsourcers and dirt cheap designers around ;)

                                                  all in all i have just been wondering if i'm above the ave. below. the ave, etc. and where the atypically designer stands....

                                                  ESPECIALLY in relation to what our deveopment actually brings in, as far as I am concerned or can tell, the value we provide does not reflect the cash we inherit....

                                                                                  Thats the exact same reason why I teamed up with the adullabel.com guys. To have something recurring and as an addition to my current income. Cause another problem is that when I break my arm and aren't able to work I don't make any money. So I am trying to expand and have that problem covered as much as possible
