I think you have a real talent, and it's wonderful that you've built
up this relationship with your local TLC store management. But I
think you are missing out on a great opportunity for financial gain.
Don't let them take your work for free - TRU has a big budget and I'm
sure they could find some money to compensate you for your time, as
well as for the bricks you use. There's no reason you shouldn't make
some money from them - they're bound to be making a lot of money off
your work, and it's only fair for you to receive your share of that.
Even if they pay you in bricks instead of cash, it would be a good
idea to try to get some kind of remuneration for all your efforts.
