My situation
Hello friends and followers!
I need your help. I will be opening commissions but leaving links to both paypal and ko-fi for anything anyone can spare. 
I understand it is very hard to help right now, it is possibly one of the toughest times some of us have faced. It certainly is for me. I work in retail during a global pandemic like so many others right now. Unfortunately this fact has taken a seriously toll on both my mental and physical health. While I have not (yet) caught covid, my depression and anxiety is at its peak and it is causing undue stress on my body to be in a constant state of panic attacks. 
Stores say they’re prepared for the holidays, but as far as I have witnessed, my store has taken zero extra precautions while also promoting holiday sales, and the store hours have gone back to normal while the store has been crowded every day for the past couple of weeks. Cases are rising, the cold weather will make it easier to spread...and I have an at risk family member at home that I am terrified of giving this thing to. I am at the end of my rope mentally. I am exhausted physically. (I would like to add when I brought up my concerns to my HR rep while he was understanding, he literally lied to my face about the measures and steps my company was taking because no one in our store enforces a Single Measure, so even if it's company wide policy, it's ineffective if it's not being followed literally at all.)
I have opted to take a leave of absence from work to at least cut off my chances temporarily from getting anything right after Thanksgiving, but ideally I’d like to be able to quit my job and find something that doesn’t involve exposing myself to an inconsiderate public and an uncaring corporate workplace.
So, I am asking for donations for the time being. If you can spare anything, I’d be extremely grateful. Donations under $21 will not have a reward in place, but donations $21 can be payments for sketch head shot commissions. 
Tumblr media
You can donate through my ko-fi, or through paypal.
Email me directly (jessie.islas at gmail) to give me information on your request (with the name you donated with and “commission” in the subject header). All I require from you will be a visual reference of your character. You can also choose a background color, otherwise I will go with white, or some color that seems to complement your character. Points 1, 5, and 7 of my TOS apply to these commissions. TOS is agreed upon at time of payment. 
If you’re having a problem viewing the TOS link, please let me know in your email and I’ll send you a copy. 
Please keep in mind these are SKETCH commissions. They will not be fully rendered, but painted in a more loose style. You will still receive the full file size once the image is completed. Turn around can be anywhere from 3 days to a week, depending on my current work schedule.  
I cannot currently offer anything more complicated than these because on top of everything else, my computer is reaching its final destination. Part of the money I make/that gets donated would help to upgrade my current laptop so that it runs like new again and extends its life for at least 1-2 more years. If you are interested in a more detailed commission, the best I can do is accept payment and put you on a waitlist for when my computer is in better working condition.
If you cannot afford a commission, any amount helps, truly. Please consider donating to the links above.
If that is also not possible for you, please consider sharing this post. It really means a lot to me. 
My ultimate goal is around $3000. I realize that is a lot of money (at least it is to me?) but it would help me to be financially stable for the next month or so (not much more than that because I live in CA and living costs are, as always, astronomical) and also help me fix my computer so I can put more work into my art. I have more plans, regarding patreon as well as comics/zines I have been wanting to make for years now. 
If I can make enough to help me last a month without working retail, I can start giving you guys more updates on what plans I have for my art, and ways in which you can help me sustain some kind of (partial) living off of it. 
Also, to be clear, I will never be a pay-only artist. I know some artists do move in that direction and they have their reasons, but I’ve been on the side of things where I cannot afford it, so I understand the distress of not being able to access art all of a sudden because you have no money. That is not my intention at all. I just want to be able to live with peace of mind and also make art while doing it. 
Thank you so much for reading this, thank you in advance for any help you can offer. I’ll be updating this soon with a link that will help explain what my plans are moving forward if I am able to get the help I need. Thank you all again.

‘Sup FNDM fam! It’s your friendly neighbourhood squiggle meister here.
Are you a fan of the RWBY Rosegarden ship? Can’t get enough of the adorable budding bond between our two smaller, more honest souls?
Well I think I got something here that might interest you, my fellow Rosegardeners!
🌹Did you know that there’s a RWBY ROSEGARDEN FANZINE?🌹
The Rosegarden RWBY Fanzine is a fan-made digital magazine dedicated to the pairing between everyone’s favourite Silver-Eyed little red rose and her avocado-eyed precious freckled farm boy turned little barn prince. 
This zine is the proud creation of 18 talented artists who all came together to produce this zine, not just for our favourite RWBY ship but for an awesometastic cause as well.
All proceeds from the zine will be donated to the Child Mind Institute: an independent non-profit organization committed to providing care and furthering research for mental health disorders and learning disabilities affecting children.
The zine is set to be released this Decemeber 22nd, 2019. However preorders for the zine are also currently available and if you order now, you’ll get some amazing extra goodies as part of your purchase.
Sounds like something you like? Well whaddaya waiting for, fam? 
🌹Click this link to preorder your copy of the Rosegarden RWBY Fanzine.🌹
Thanking all of you who order the zine in advance! But just in case you can’t order the zine, that alright fam. Please consider reblogging this post as well as any other promotional posts for the zine just to spread the word around!

A few weeks have passed since launch, and I’m absolutely thrilled to present my official piece for the Devoted Servant: A Fire Emblem Fates Jakob Fanzine!
All purchase proceeds go toward the Black Trans Advocacy Coalition. They’re a social justice organization that is still actively deploying resources to black transgender people across the United States. Please consider donating to this amazing cause.
For everyone who has purchased @devotedservantzine​ already, thank you so much! This is an amazing zine, and it was an honor to be included.
For those that are still interested, I’ve included the Gumroad link to the zine’s official page.
My contribution, “Above Me”, is live on AO3 right now!
And (as always) here’s a sneak peek:
“My feelings for her, my love for her…is irrelevant,” he said with a shake of his head. The words tumbled from his mouth like heavy stones rolling down a riverbed. “Lady Corrin is not just my liege. She is Valla’s queen. She now carries the weight of an entire kingdom on her shoulders. I’ll stand by her side until my dying day, and I’d be honored if she shared the weight of that burden with me, but that is not a decision I can make.”
The maid clasped her hands close to her heart. Perhaps it was an automatic reaction to his melancholy statement, or perhaps it was a sign of solidarity. If she held her own heart together, perhaps it could mend the pieces of his broken one.
“Jakob, I don’t believe that,” she challenged, her teary eyes filling with fire. “You’ve had such a hard life, and Lady Corrin knows that.”
“That doesn’t mean she owes me anything in return,” he said. He pushed himself away from the wall and drifted toward the center of the hall, his eyes still cast skyward. His pupils remained focused on the star, still glowing proudly over their heads. “All I want and desire in life is to see Corrin happy. She saved my life, and now, I’ll do anything I can to protect hers. How she wants me to do that is her prerogative.”

Convention Review: Causeacon
Tumblr media
Convention: Causeacon
Location: Beckley, WV
Date: April 29-May 1 (Fri-Sun)
Table cost: $50
Table size: 8’ x 3′ (ish) - biggest table I’ve ever had
Application: FCFS
Fandom/audience: “General Nerd”
Items for sale: 11x17" posters (fanart and original), coloring book, zines (fanart and original; sfw only), pins (original), resin coasters and jewelry
New items/display: Graphic Novel “Agents of S.L.A.M”
Mask policy: Not required
Previously attended? No
Pros: Small convention with a good variety of artists and vendors (meaning you don't overlap with other artists), proceeds go to the local Women’s Resource Center 
Cons: Beckley is quite small and out of the way; people were smoking right outside of the loading dock and the smoke was blowing into the hall
Most popular item(s): Posters (51)
Least popular item(s): Agents of SLAM (1)
This was a wild one I chose to do as sometimes small conventions are my best ones.  I was one of only a few print artists there, and (as far as I saw) one of only 2 people selling original comics, though many people were doing resin (and it showed in the low sales I had).  I do think that the area being somewhat poorer did influence the buying habits, as people were balking at some of my prices, however I did receive 8 commissions, which kept me busy the entire weekend (plus one to take home with me).
Everyone was super nice, and it definitely had the small show atmosphere where people really wanted to talk to you and get to know you. I had some excellent table neighbors as well. Plus all the proceeds went to a really good cause.
Gross sales: ~$1700
Recommend/will attend again? It's a bit out of the way (5 hour drive) but I love driving through the Appalachian mountains.  If I find someone else to drive with and/or split hotel costs with, then definitely.
Other 2022 convention reviews:
Indiana Comic Con
Ohayocon
Anime Zap (featuring 2021 review links) 
These reviews take a lot of time and effort, but I think they are something the artist alley community needs! If you would like to support me so I can keep doing these, please consider donating or buying from my shops!

I've been mainly very quiet on this platform while shouting over at @artreleaf and @osy_see in my stories with resources for BLM, The Bail Project and more organizations that are fighting for justice and continued change for people of color everywhere. I've made free protest art, signed numerous petitions, emailed local politicians and had hard discussions with friends who were ignorant on race. And now I am here with a collection of stickers, pins and zines where the goal was always to give back with the success or failure of this shop. While I'm still dedicating proceeds to the American Nurses Foundation, I will also split proceeds to Black Lives Matter, ACLU and more during this time. 2020 has been a difficult year but it could be the most important one. Any purchase made at the Artreleaf shop goes back into the movement and causes that need help the most right now. Please also consider donating directly to causes and resources I'll link in my stories. Thanks everyone. (at Los Angeles, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/CBJF-5iH2n-/?igshid=197rcvlz28z57
