It was announced to listeners and hosts alike last night on Blockhead Radio that the station will no longer be airing the various talk shows such as Outside the Frame in favor of changing to a 24/7 music only station. Therefore, this week’s episode will be the final episode of Outside the Frame on BHR … well sort of; what I mean by this is that a podcast of Outside the Frame will be available on my Outside the Frame blog that will be linked from the BHR front page. Additionally, during the time that my show is usually aired, Wednesday at 1PM eastern, I will be available in the BHR chat room for questions or comments, as well as, to say good-bye to listeners who wish to pop in. I’ve enjoyed having the opportunity to bring Outside the Frame to you through Blockhead Radio and hope that you, the listener, have benefited as much from the show as your emails and PMs have indicated. Thanks.

Wednesday’s topic on Outside the Frame will cover the many ways that you can use your art to support your favorite cause or charity. We will discuss how to distinguish between companies appearing needy to get you to work for free and legitimate charities that need your help. As an artist who has supported numerous organizations with my art, services or time I’ve developed several rules regarding donating my art and I will share these rules with you.

Establishing a price for your work will likely be the most difficult decision you will make in your career. In order to price your work realistically, you need to be able to make a fact-based case for what your art is worth.
