The Frieran angle thing is so great because *every* artist knows that angle is tough. They've all been through it, learning the hard way how to do it.
To a non-artist it doesn't seem like a hard problem. A non-artist who only wants to be seen as an artist, will use genAI instead of learning it.

A closer look at one of Báez’s ciguapa figures, a feminine, dangerous, and seductive Dominican mythological creature.
I've seen her several times and thought she was crouched down in shallow water. Now it seems like she is riding a wave.
Truth was the bridge (or an emancipatory healing), 2024

I painted this half-asses sunset the other day, I like how it turned out, but the whole point was to chop it up into a bunch of little tags for my bookmarks and boxes.
I’m very pleased with how they turned out, and now people will know the design names while perusing my work, yay. 🧚🏻♀️✨

I wish I could afford to hire someone to deal with social media. I’ve never cared for it, I’m half introvert/half extrovert, I do better irl and I make the majority of my sales at live markets, but I need to promote my business online now and I can’t avoid it anymore. How do people do this for fun 😩

I thought this bookmark would sell a long time ago, it’s one of my favorites, but I guess it’s just me hahaha
It’s available on my website if you like it, too (link in bio).

I'll post a pic of it finished tomorrow if I don't mess it up first.

I’m thinking about adding a small used book selection in my art shop, what do you think?
I’ve already had people ask to buy the display books I use for my handmade bookmarks, so I’m considering it.

I would repair them and call it a kintsugi-inspired series. Lean manufacturing is about efficiency. Art or craft has different values.
Wabi-sabi embraces impermanence and imperfection, and kintsugi highlights it by repairing cracks and chips in ceramic with gold seams.
