The biggest thing i've learned as an artist who sells prints and merch is don't make what people ask for. They won't buy it. Make what you, the artist, want to see printed on the support of ur choice.
I can't explain why but THAT'S what will sell. People who buy the most are the silent ones. 🫶

Remember, artists: when people say, “I’d buy a print of this,” they don’t mean it. That sentence itself is just a weird compliment that rarely converts to an actual print sale. It’s like if someone ate a very good hot dog and then said, “I could eat 10,000 of these right now.”

When you go to buy from an individual creator this season please remember the price at checkout (in person or online) is not what they will see reflected in their account
Fees, immediate taxes, and future taxes cut what they would make often in half
We price for that, so please be understanding!

Hey @bsky.app, I can't log into this account on my browser anymore which is very inconvenient for my business. E-Mail support replied that you are working on it, but it has been a week since then. Any idea how long it will take?

- I found a provider to send to the US again! It will get a bit more expensive than before but luckily not as insanely much as with DHL :>
- I still need to adjust some things before, so US shipping will resume with the shop update! (Somewhen in the next two weeks, I will keep you updated!)

I accidentally ordered one sheet of AI generated stamps for US patrons and apparently you cannot get them exchanged because stamps don't count as goods 😭 ... I'll still send them a mail and try...
