Clarification: Accepting payments for commissions through Friends & Family is against TOS (which you agree to by making an account), and it is TAX FRAUD.
Do not ask for comm payments via F & F. Dont let an artist convince you to pay this way, because your account can be taken down as well.

Lots of "don't write 'commission' in PayPal's feedback box for invoices" misinfo/fearmongering going around.
Yes, PayPal is censoring nsfw/queer artists like other payment processors. No, the word 'commission' will not get you flagged unless youre taking Friends & Family payments for commissions.

If this is true that’s terrifying, a whole generation of kids growing up without curiosity about art and the world as a whole. Slop pictures are really ruining everything.
But seeing this also inspires me to draw in public more- 🧵

Always ask artists for permission rather than forgiveness because we have really long memories and a bottomless capacity for both incredible generosity and incredible pettiness.
Welp. Just discovered that someone is putting out a paid collection --over 200 pages-- that looks to be a Spanish language history of Garfield parody comics that may contain some of my work.
While part of me is flattered, my permission was never asked.

About Teen Vogue,
I don't read or care much for a lot of mainstream media, but Teen Vogue is the only consistent non-Native media outlet that has always done an incredible job reporting on Native issues and giving our talent a platform to shine and not just to fill their "diversity" quota.

The thing is like if we want to fight back against prudery and sex negativity we also have to stop referring to stuff as 'gooner art' and accept that nsfw shit that reads as 'for the male gaze' has as much a right to exist as your favourite yaoi

Low key, this is why I think you should send fan mail to the niche people you love and not huge people. Bts is gonna get thousands of letters, but that soundcloud rapper may go there entire career getting nothing.

!["[South Asian + Southwest Asian Features] Please note this is not a comprehensive list! but rather a compilation of what I have observed while drawing and within my own family. I am punjabi, most punjabi people are from north India + Pakistan and so they have both South Asian and Southwest Asian features. Because of this, we can look very diverse! (the image shows two faces with varying features and a check mark next to both) Both arew punjabi. The left has more southwest asian features while the right has more south asian features.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:f764ma2kafhncq6yhmkxmhs4/bafkreicr2jm6vjtgz6lhujiowbwhgj3ovphsahithl67qgjvpczwvyoq7u@jpeg)
![[Deep-set eyes] (The image shows a set of eyes, one with double lids and one with triple lids. An arrow points to the triple lid.) I have this one. Many SA + SWA people have naturally deep-set eyes. This results in very prominent eyelid creases above AND below. Deep set eyes are also called "hooded eyes" because the upper skin tends to droop down over this space. (A comparison drawing is shown of a face in side profile with shallow set and deep set eyes. Another diagram shows the eyeball in the socket and the skin around it with the fatty upper eye area puffing out slightly.)](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:f764ma2kafhncq6yhmkxmhs4/bafkreidcpty7iid3t6gcklt6log2jrx7m5zpdwdh3ci32n2r7xixstmijq@jpeg)
![[hyperpigmentation] Hyperpigmentation is when areas of skin are darker than the rest. Many SA + SWA people experience this, those with light AND dark skin, especially around the eyes in the form of dark circles. (An illustration shows eyes with and without hyperpigmentation.) Because many people already have deep set eyes that are shadowed, the result often makes the surrounding eye area quite dark. A lot of comments about if I sleep enough or that my stare can be a little scary or just a bit intense. (A diagram shows eyes labelled "bare" and "applied", one without any makeup and the right with black makeup in the waterline.) Traditionally wear black eyeliner (surma/kajal/kohl) for special occasions or as a medicine.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:f764ma2kafhncq6yhmkxmhs4/bafkreid36hnnc4ygfemv32nn32j6d4daefnyshgsg2wu6m5l4xpm7oct6q@jpeg)
