If this is something you want physically printed on a sticker, t-shirt or pin badge to keep handy, consider having a look over here - you get something pretty and I get a little profit, too!
And if you're super cool and just want to support more of this kind of thing without getting a tangible reward, I also have a Ko-fi!
Sorry as always for the open rant you all witnessed two nights back from me. I'm genuinely very stressed about money. In summer and fall 2023 my concern was just trying to make myself noticed somehow, bit-by-bit through social media and gaining a substantial following just to better myself as an artist.
Now, I need any income I've got just to afford my rent and utilities.
To put it into perspective (besides the Ko-fi produced Shelby-fund, which was successfully breached and will be used this coming week on her vet bill) my ssi income's been reduced to 530$ a month while my rent is 760$. My old job supplied at least 300$+ but I don't have any of that coming in now. The stimulus money I was given as a parting gift instead of a final paycheck can't be withdrawn from or transferred to my main bank. I have at least 140$ left on that stimulus just for other expenses like busfair, art supplies, dog and home care.
I'm INCREDIBLY grateful to have my EBT card covering my groceries, my jobcoaches assisting with printing out cardstock for any (eventual) upcoming events or cons and getting me a buspass discount, and of course the backers to my Shelby fund to cover that for the year (much love to Brandon, Misty and Cheatsy on Ko-fi). I will be receiving unemployment soon, though still not enough to cover my rent and utility cost.
But, I need to pay for services on Upwork, Linked In and Vograce, for sensitivity readers and animators and shipping costs for any physical Etsy merchandise, possible venue space for real-life events, professional art prints, computer and tablet maitanance, and that's not even getting to possibly subscribing to sites such as instagram or Facebook. I still have a lot to save up for and do WITHOUT being unemployed.
As a reminder, I need to take commissions especially at this time, both 'quick' ones and more complex pieces.
5$ USD for Sketches (traditional or digital)
15$-20$ USD for Inked, flat colored art without backgrounds
30$ USD for complete pictures
3$ USD = specific medium (completely digital, colored pencil, ink/watercolors, chalk)
5$ USD = extra characters
5$ USD = shading/lighting
10$ USD = Physical shipping of the drawing if it’s traditional
This is also a reminder to please assist and support me however you can via my Ko-Fi, Etsy shop, Redbubble shop and my Patreon.
and because I am slow to carve and slow to fire, my amazing spouse @authortstrange put the design up on redbubble. we recommend the classic mug, since the tall mug might distort the shape.
the redbubble version looks like this:
(and here’s my etsy where I’ll sell the hand carved version when it’s fired)
started these awhile ago and had alot of trouble with them but i really like these simple circle drippy, starry rainbows- originally planned to make them when redbubble added buttons [ art on prints and things: teepublic | redbubble | threadless ]
