Finding a tattoo apprenticeship is like trying to find an operational Blockbuster

Sometimes I forget I’m on this app 😩 So here’s a recent commission I finished

How come worms got a muffler

I haven't made any bookmarks in a while. And this time I'm lino printing them for the first time! Maybe this will motivate me to start using bookmarks again rather than dog-ear the pages. A dog bookmark against dog-ears!

I’ve been battling what feels like an insurmountable level of burnout, but I’m trying to pay attention to what excites me. The last thing that lit my fire was seeing Nosferatu, and I had a really great time making these designs last month. Anyway, the answer to all of my problems? Vampires.

If every artist on here sells just one print of their work a day, that alone will help keep them creating, enable them to get supplies,take care of themselves etc. Just one print is all it takes. Instead of buying from corporations that don’t care about you, support an artist today instead.
