I have been looking online what an average cover costs a for a self published book and its on average $750.
I am going on public record stating that I am more than happy to do the first 5 covers for any author for half that price at $375.
No royalties, no BS.
$375 and you will get my best work.

Are you an indie author?
Are you having a hard time affording cover art and you're tempted to use AI?
Literally just hire me instead, I am an amateur artist and I am so incredibly willing to give you a bargain and work out a fair price or even a payment plan!

@hamleteuproject.bsky.social Shakespeare would recognize AI for what it is, having written MacBeth and Midsummer, and wouldn't fucking touch it with a ten foot pole.

Everywhere I’ve ever been, you could always just walk in whatever bathrooms there were. It’s not like they card at the door. The social stigma against being a creepy pest is all that ever stopped you, and that doesn’t change because trans people exist and need to use the bathroom sometimes.
Ex-Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel spouts transphobic talking points to Bill Maher.
"Look, in seventh grade, if I had known that I could have said the word ‘They’ and got in the girls bathroom, I would have done it."
