No amount of marketing advice or hustle culture bullshit about monetizing followers will fix the structural problems that make freelance art careers so difficult. Maybe spend more time asking why people can’t/don’t want to pay us? Why society can’t support us?

Honestly the best and only tip I can give people who want to get others to care about their OCs is to be ten times as insane about them themselves. That's it. You gotta care. Gotta make them and write them with love and feral drive that's a little scary sometimes. The passion will inspire others.

gonna call this one done, I think 🤞

I've taken a break from Social Media to focus on my studies and let me tell you, it has worked wonders, but it is time to slowly show my face in here again, so - hi guys! How have you been?

You ever watch an old animated movies and think maaaaan they used to MAKE STUFF! We have the talent now too and it’s all just squandered! Not to be a boomer or whatever but what’s happening in animation now is a tragedy. Not to say there’s not good stuff now at all, but ugh just let these ppl loose!

Well hello! first birthday on these blue pastures 🎈 If anyone wanted to share my art it would make me tremendously happy. I have a few projects to finish this first halfof the year that I can't wait to share with you all but for now these are some of my favourite pieces.

Hacer cómics es un trabajo complejo e intensivo. Tenemos comiqueros increíbles en este país, dejándose a diario los ojos y las manitas a cambio de pipas. Imaginad lo que podríamos tener si se pagara una remuneración justa, si no tuviéramos esta precariedad salvaje #diadelcomic

My variant for Supergirl #2! 👋

in 2016, 2017, and 2018, the @criticalrole.bsky.social folks asked some of us artists to big holiday pictures for the website.

Your seasonal reminder to raise your standards ❤️ #valentinesday #art

every artist secretly dreams of having a mysterious sponsor who'd send them 1500€ every month, no strings attached, just to cover their most basic needs so that they can draw pretty homoerotic art and uncover their potential but 9 commissions at the same time also work, i guess

Great London, great.

Wizards just revealed an image I did for Magic: the Gathering's Tarkir Dragonstorm set on their website. I really loved working on this image and the other cards for this set and I can't wait to see what the cards do! #mtg #magicthegathering

god take all of my artist friends suffering and give it to elon

One reason why I think respectability is stupid is because it's often used as a mask. Such judgements are rarely about the clothes themselves, but more often about the bodies beneath them. To wit, no one raised an issue when Elon wore a graphic t-shirt and ball cap to meet the Trump cabinet.

I made this the other night while procrastinating, mainly because I thought all the posts about the blackout were boring. It feels like there is momentum bringing people together!

just making my silly little drawings : )

Fine artists using generative AI for reference proves you can be a skilled painter and still lack integrity and imagination.

The meme, and then the art! 🤣👌 Check out this incredible art by @fael-draws.bsky.social

色違い

La centroderecha cristiana ganó un tercio del parlamento alemán, aunque la noticia acá es que AfD (ultraderecha) tuvo un quinto de votos. El activismo de Musk jugó acá y jugará para Le Pen en Francia y para Abascal en España. Ciego es quien no quiere ver.
