Digital illustration made in Procreate depicting a warmly lit home office in the early 2000s. On the office desk is a teal and white early iMac G3. A black cat is half-crouched with the computer mouse in its mouth, staring at the viewer as though caught mid-hunt. The scene is littered y2k objects. The wall has a poster of Rihanna and of Britney Spears' "Oops!... I Did It Again" album cover. Items on the office desk include a blank CD stack, a pink lava lamp, a VHS on top of a Blockbuster case, and an old landline phone.

i’ve been told i have a very relaxed aura
A two-frame comic. Frame 1: Text that says "What answering emails looks like" above a person sitting at a desk, typing on a computer. Frame 2: Text that says "What answering emails FEELS like". The scene is now red, person is hunkered over their keyboard in terror. Three businessmen in suits loom over them, yelling "WHY HAVEN'T YOU RESPONDED???", "USELESS", and the third, tears in his eyes, yells "I LITERALLY HATE YOU".

Babe u left ur bike unlocked again 😭
A warm seaside setting. On a grassy hill overlooking the sea, four raccoons steal a bicycle. One leans eagerly from the basket, a second stands on the seat and steers with its front paws, a third pedals the wheels, and a fourth baby raccoon cleans to the back of the bicycle for dear life

To be transparent, I originally switched careers to do art full time because it brought me joy and (at the time) made okay income. I have no invisible safety net, the past 5 years have been very low income, and I frequently wonder how much longer making art is sustainable.
fjbarb.bsky.social Frank J. Barbiere @fjbarb.bsky.social · Nov 1
Many full time creatives have “invisible safety nets” like bread-winning partners, trust funds, external support, etc. No shame on anyone, but it creates a false vision of success. The cost of going to cons alone on top of hoping to eat as a freelancer are untenable, IMO.
samanthamash.bsky.social Samantha Mash @samanthamash.bsky.social · Nov 1
When people hear that I'm returning to part time work they often ask "are things not going well with your art?"

The problem really is things are going well, but the world is so unstable that I long for some consistency and income that I don't have to pay quarterly taxes on

Sharp tongue
A dragon head descends from darkness, smoke trailing from its open mouth. A multitude of hands reach from its throat, almost like a tongue, together they grasp the hilt of a gold, shining sword.
