remember that, especially going into the holiday season, even if you can’t support an artist financially — boosting their posts (esp when theyre marketing!) with kind lil comments or a repost can truly mean a lot! 🥹🫶🏼 it genuinely costs $0.00 to support artists in these trying times!!!!

Artists repeat after me:
It's okay to repost your art
It's okay to want people to see your art
It's okay to want attention and success
But I must not forget that everyone is in the same boat, we are all struggling and must help each other out

it's been so hard to market myself. the void is loud, and deep, and cavernous.
i used to have a community clamoring for my originals and jokingly fighting over them. now im lucky if i sell 10. and i know that it's tough financially right now but man, as a small business its just... so dang hard...
