Your art isn’t bad just because it’s not selling right now. We’re in a recession and people don’t know when they’re gonna eat next, nobody can afford fun things because the economy is crumbling. It’s going to be hard a while.

‼️ I TAKE COMMISSIONS! [ VGEN - KOFI - INFO ] my gf & i are affected by not getting food stamps this month. due to her chronic illness we need to buy more expensive groceries, so any help is appreciated. i do art full-time, so this is my only source of income. #commsopen #commissionsopen #vgenopen

The lovely lord of Summer. ☀️

🌹Share your OC and the plant you associate with them🌹 Albemarle has always been a bright and flowery character. As a redeemed barbarian turned paladin, the red dahlia fits him. Red dahlias symbolize inner strength, love, passion, commitment, and the persistence to overcome great challenges.

The flounder makes me laugh every time. 🤣 I'm working on some big fish for next year's gallery show! (Gourds, epoxy clay, glass eyes, and devil claw seed pod spines) #art #gourd #handmade #fish #googlybloop

October has been crazy!
