I need to not be on this app because it's very good at getting me to Doomscroll, so, you can find me on Tumblr, Cara, and Patreon moving forward! Links in the, uh, link below.

this is the BEST and most organized walkthrough on commissioning an artist I've seen. Highly recommend this if you're new to commissions or want to just check it out (also love the artist! Definitely follow them!)
Want to get a private commission but you don't know how? Or are you a seasoned patron looking to iron out a few wrinkles?
Together with several artists and patrons, I've put together a comprehensive guide to private commissions, covering topics like first correspondence, feedback, and payment!

I hate ai. I hate the ai-fication of every facet of life. nothing is real. the images are fake, the products are fake, the websites that host these images are fake. creativity and curiosity is stifled by the ai-ification of search engines. the internet is junkspace now. everything feels like spam.

The millennial experience is growing up with the internet, and watching it go from a free, open, democratic, and eclectic ecosystem to a wasteland of five websites controlled by billionaires, and now seeing it quickly fill up with AI-generated slop.
I want our World Wide Web back.

Artists are a big part of what makes your social media experience worth it. Most of them post incredible work out there for free (in this economy ??)
Remember to support your favorite creators so that they can keep making things you love. Seek out their patreon, shops, share their work.

A lot of memes are based on illustrations and comics that an artist made, but people remove all mention of the artist to make it seem as if the image sprang out of the ether, that it belongs to everyone. Especially in this day and age, it's important to assert when art is made by human hands.
This comic gets shared every year with the date changed. It is by Brazilian cartoonist Glauco Villas Boas (1957-2010).

i don't think millennials and gen xers "feel like sellouts" I think authors think the job of "writing the book" is an entire fucking job and marketing it is a second entire fucking job and doing the first means you shouldn't also be expected to do all of the second
Normalise going to publishers and asking them "What do you even do?" in a very aggressive strained tone.

people who say “why do we need [fine arts, humanities degrees, mid-budget films] when they don’t make a ton of money?” are insufferable. why do we need chrysanthemums? why do we need bonfires or baleen whales or the color blue? we just do. we just do.
