I have chronic nerve inflammation on my hands so I don't do as much art as I used to, but I am slowly learning to manage it.

this is why the whole “oh, suffering creates great art” thing is bullshit

you know what’s conducive to art? a roof over your head and food on the table

you know what isn’t? stressing out over where the fuck the rent money is going to come from
I regularly see people wondering how it's possible that there are so many musicians and writers and film makers and artists from a tiny nation like Iceland.

And the answer is really simple: State funding for art education and artists. I literally get a salary from the government to write books.
I’m constantly astounded at the sheer level of artistic production coming out of Iceland. Novels, movies, music. Amazing.

There are a ton of artists on Instagram saying their sites were removed without warning or explanation, best to preemptively update your shops to avoid getting hit.
Crunchyroll is massively hitting Etsy for merch of their license. If they haven't found yours yet, it's best to go through your listing and remove characters / anime mention. Especially for My Hero Academia, JJK and Gachiakuta. They also took down older licenses such as Haikyuu. Pls reshare!

No AI in email! ✅ 

That's what we at Tuta stand for - and #Microsoft has just proven why it was a good decision.

Okay, last day until the deadline :,) I swear I will stop bothering y’all with this after that. Thank you again for those that donated and shared already and thank you for all the kind words I have received.

Dawn is moving into her new (rehab) home next Saturday. I hope I will see her again soon
Truly a Friday the 13th: The vet bill that was estimated to be around 400€ turned out to be for nearly 460€. I have to pay this bill until the 20th of this month.

Please do consider donating to my ko-fi or sharing, every small amount and share helps.

Chronic pain is disability. So to everybody out there in pain all the time, you're disabled. I know we keep our chronic pain to ourselves because no one wants to hear about it & do our best to manage. But if it affects your day to day functionality, you're a disabled person.

Hi bird artists - this website steals artist's digital work for their shop. I've found 1000+ results for "bird" designs they likely don't have permission to sell (as I've found mine on there twice). Please check and keep your work safe: www.print-cool.com/search?keywo...

Love that AI, a thing we hate and don’t want, steals everything, ruins everything, shittifies everything. Drinks our water, plagiarizes our art, pisses all over our information fidelity, drives kids to suicide, serves the right-wing, and fucks up our devices and services. Good job, techbros!

This.
It nearly stopped me from creating at all after last year (however I do have a big problem of tying my self worth to how my works do)
I don’t think ppl understand the whole “who cares if nobody likes it! make content for yourself” is extremely dismissive
Bc we ARE making the content for ourselves but it feels /bad/ when people don’t engage or show interest. You can care about both at the same time

If you are mad at artists reposting old artwork, I think you might need to stop and acknowledge your entitlement.
Maybe take a different perspective, think of it as a chance to look on artwork again and maybe see something new you didn’t notice before.
Are people mad about artists reposting our art again?

I’ve seen posts talking about people being mad but nothing about actually being mad.
