I traveled cross country to about 20 different conventions, and yet it's the same artists and exhibitors that take up all of these spaces. From my observation, out of all the conventions, roughly 20% of artist alley booths were small creators, and 10% of them were local.

The point of conventions was to celebrate the culture, celebrate accomplishments of community members, and highlight up and coming creators. Now, it has become an oversaturated commercialized bureaucracy/popularity contest.

Getting waitlisted for artist alley and being denied opportunities at conventions because I don't have a large follower count despite my vast resume and portfolio is extremely discouraging.

I make scented candles. I also engrave the glass. Some candles come with engraved slate coasters. Once the candle is done, you have a free engraved drinking glass. I sell these on my website & at conventions. Thank you to all that support.

Thankful for those who value me in real life. Unfortunately, social media has been suppressing me. When I have an art show or artist alley table, my stuff sells out though. #kingdomhearts #art #acrylicpainting #painting #blackartist #sora #goofy #donald

It is very discouraging that despite my vast accomplishments my worth is only measured directly to my follower count. Society has normalized devaluation of the talented and overqualified.

Finishing the Spyro painting. When I was streaming on #twitch , I've been working on a set of Playstation based paintings. I planned to give away a PS5 to 1 out of the 10 people who owned a painting from this set. This is the final painting. #ps5 #spyro #painting #acrylicpainting

I used to make custom shoes, but Instagram & Twitter's algorithms would kill all visibility. Maybe I'll try again here? Let me know if y'all want me to make custom shoes again!
