   @Patrick,

   I have done direct sponsored advertising in the past. For the past year or so I haven’t dont any sponsored ads, more for the fact that my attention has been on other projects and I haven’t taken the time to go get the sponsors.

   But, I’d be open to doing it again depending on who and what the sponsor/advertisement is for.
