Is anyone familiar with R L Winston Fly Rods? I'm an Illustrator and
I specialize in Sportfishing Art. An ad company has offered me a
trade in return for some new artwork. (funny how few people have any
real $$ to offer in the ad business). I've done a lot of fishing but
never taken up fly fishing. Any review or opions of their rods would
be appreciated. Apparently it's their new Boron IIx Sal****er Series,
they are offering (3) as well as $$. Thanks www.chartworksart.com


My take is that you do professional quality work and to be accepted as a pro
you have to expect to be treated as one.... pros get paid. "Barter" is
only worth it when YOU want the item ( not maybe, sorta, might like, I
hope ) AND suggest the barter ( not let yourself be talked down to it ) AND
the net value you receive is GREATER than what you would charge in cold hard
cash. If nothing else, add the TIME that selling the rods will take to your
calculations of value received.


And Sandy is right, your website has some problems but your art is nice (
I'm on Windows and Forefox and would 'guess" you need to put another div
tag around the text that tells about your biz )
