Needing multiple streams of income to stay afloat is a societal failure not a personal one. You should be able to afford a comfortable lifestyle with one job. You are not lazy.

Semi-regular reminder that you limit your potential reach on bluesky when you don't include alt-text on your images. If you can't or won't for reasons, this is just to let you know there is a pretty dedicated core of people on here who won't repost anything without alt-text as much as we'd like to.

Also, please PUT YOUR MAIN LINKS IN YOUR PROFILE. PLEASE. It happened several times now, but I had to look up hard to find a shop link or commissions page so please for the love of whatever, put a link in your profile too.

I think my best advice for having fun on social media is this: don't worry about being annoying, post about things that bring you joy, interact with people you think are cool, and the right people will find you 🫶🏻

Guys I just got my clear vinyl Haunted Home stickers and they came out so amazing 😭🧡 #art ✦ #stickers ✦ #halloween ✦ #artshop

I can literally feel the dread onset every time I come on social media. It's why I limit who I follow, the amount of platforms I use, etc. I have mostly happy things like art but still my chest gets noticably tight. That's why I'm not so active.

Ghost jobs are fucking evil. Fuck every company doing this

If you’re waiting to feel “good enough” to share your art, you’ll be waiting forever. Very few artists feel that way, at all stages of their careers. Share anyway 🩵

My artwork, "Trashed Heart," is still holding strong at #2 in terms of price bid in Newburyport Art Association's Art of Giving auction. There are SO MANY great items up for sale! To bid on my work: givebutter.com/c/art-of-giv... To see the whole auction: givebutter.com/c/art-of-giv...

Adjusted for inflation Spirited Away cost $22 million to make. The Triplets of Belleville cost $16.5 million, Cartoon Saloon's Wolfwalkers cost $14.28 million, and Oscar winner Flow cost only $4 million. These critically acclaimed, made by real people films, cost less than this pile of actual vomit.

artists aren’t the fucking bourgeois or “elite”. every artist i know can barely make rent. every artist i know is one severe enough hospital bill away from being homeless. we’re not all banksy or andy warhol. sick of this idea being passed around as we deal with companies exploiting us constantly.

"but art should be accessible" it is, you can learn to draw, paint, collage, sculpt, make pixels. right now, starting today. art has never been more accessible monetarily nor physically than it is now in this age. access to artist labor and machine production is not an accessibility issue.

My only take on the "100$ is too much for a sketch" is that you should not give a fuck about what artists do with their prices, they're not forcing you to commission them. Scroll away and keep going with your day

Little sketch of a new dnd design #dndart #dndoc #dnd

i dont think the price of commissions has anything to do with how much an artist "deserves", or even how much work goes into a piece -- isn't it supply and demand? if you charge $100 a sketch and your slots fill immediately, maybe you should be charging more. the luis vuitton of sketches

What if instead of buying a labubu you bought something from a small artist instead

Hey artists!! Post some art you made from before Bluesky!! #art

What is your style? My style... is trying to draw something that looks like 20th century posters, a pinch of constructivism, a pinch of monumentalism and brutalism, noir, art deco, futurism and of course cyberpunk

I get really upset that things aren't easier to fix. I had a perfectly good working faucet, except it dripped every 5-10 seconds. So I ask my dad how I can fix that without replacing it. And he's like okay well we can try to replace the cartridge. So we do, water starts leaking everywhere. 1/3

Flower study

I’m quoted in today’s issue of Forbes.

I do think it is quieter on here lately than it used to be but I think it is because we are all completely and utterly exhausted by the relentless bullshit. So post that cute cat photo or doodle you drew or some happy thing that happened to you. We need those small moments of joy more than ever 💜

The Print-On-Demand/dropship route has made garment creation much more accessible to artists, which is great! But the quality and process leave a lot to be desired. Maybe don't tell artists who choose to invest in quality and craftsmanship that they should do something 'less' for your convenience.
