I would share my Artist Income Breakdown of 2025 but I only made $0.12 this entire year 🥲
First half-year as an artist outside of art school! I wanted to share some numbers in hopes I will help future artists find their way.

Remember your favorite creator possibly might be struggling with imposter syndrome and doubt and this timeline sucks.. so if you find yourself thinking “wow I really relate to this persons work” or that persons work gives you joy, you should probably tell them. It’s a hard time to be a creative.

Folks! I’m looking for an illustrator to do some in-game artwork for an unannounced project on a contract basis in November.

Feel free to shoot me a DM with your portfolio if you’re interested!

Must be based in the UK, and absolutely no AI 🌟

I really believe we’re headed for a creative revolution.

Feels like we’re reaching an apex of creative industry jobs cutting pay/disappearing altogether, while the process for making/releasing indie comics/games/movies has never been more democratized.

They’re making it so we have nothing to lose

Going to the library fucking rules. You can walk in and pick your favorite things and then walk right out without paying anything. It's unbelievable and 100% the kind of thing that won't exist in the future unless you recognize the goodness now before it's too late
Hey, as a librarian I need to tell you:

Our funding depends on usage.

So go ahead and check out that book even if you don't think you'll finish it. No one will know. Check out that DVD even though you might not like it. Get ambitious in your quest for knowledge.

Treating myself with a Ben & Jerry’s today. Cheers 🥂
Ben of Ben & Jerry’s *arrested* after confronting RFK Jr. & Congress:

"They need to let food into Gaza. They need to let food to starving kids! Congress is paying to bomb poor kids in Gaza, and paying for it by kicking poor kids off Medicaid in the US!"

I'm rezzing the Planettes art series! Planettes was/is a series of 13 ladies designed off real planet facts, with one for each planet + Pluto, the Sun, Earth's moon, and Milky Way. First up is Mars!
Fun fact: Mars has two wobbly lil moons that were probably captured asteroids

I need to do some hardcore research. Research as in going to the library and sifting through children’s picture books. #kidlit

Pope Francis was the only Church leader who dared to recognize LGBTQIA+ rights, to speak out against Israel's genocide in Palestine, to denounce human rights abuses, to fight for climate and environment. I'm saddened to hear of his passing, he leaves a big legacy to uphold
