Two casts of real mushrooms, painted to resemble Amanitas. They glow red and are battery operated. The perfect Christmas gift for nature and mushroom lovers. Unfortunately, I am currently unable to ship to the USA.
For sale! CHF 110.-, exclusive shipping.

This pisses me off because I grew up poor, remained poor, drew during breaks at shit jobs, eventually became a Moderately Successful Illustrator and we basically get by. There isn’t enough borrowed therapy words to justify using genAi you just don’t fuckin have it in you to try harder
no great artists have ever struggled, a famous thing about artists that we all know. everyone prior to three years ago lived lives of luxury.
![the stupid 'talent is a gatekeeping mechanism' thread that's going around, three posts reading:
tired of having these arguments so i'm gonna lay out the STARK reality of AI for some of you privileged fucks:
1. "talent" is a gatekeeping mechanism that has created a culture of professionalism that is no less of an ivory tower than academia, a moralized proxy for access to time, training, money.
2. being poor means having to make hard choices like:
[a] drawing something yourself in a way society would call "bad" (i.e. unprofessional)
[b] sacrificing resources you don't have to pay a real artist what they're worth (or learn yourself)
[c] not doing it at all, or
[d] using AI.
“just don’t use AI” is a luxury position. when people moralize choices made under scarcity, they’re pretending the menu is the same for everyone. it fucking isn’t.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:dei7f7zh74xr3hoghei6ke3d/bafkreig5uei5qn5bkwhgniorhoyesfs73ovo76xwfk2yxprmtnbde4cvp4@jpeg)

Getting orders from the US in the tariff era is like:
wow, people still want to buy my art despite it all?? 🥹 + omg, you paid more for shipping than the item, i hate it :( + there are people out there willing to pay 50€ to get a silly worry stone from me and all i get out of it is 2 peanuts 🫠

Algorithms have failed artists, so once again I am appealing to the wealthy to go back to the practice of patronising artists so you can brag that your sicko is better than your rival’s sicko

I can't believe it's been 1 year, around this time last year I was struggling taking product photos of the first stickers I'd be selling. It's been an exciting year, lots of lessons that I'm grateful for, and the last few months have been slow but I'm sure the shop will come back better soon!

Contrary to popular belief, there are in fact so many Black Authors on this app that I needed TWO starter packs. Check it out.
