Anybody out there in the Art Mines feeling the strain these days? Sales are thin on the ground for me at present, but I can’t afford to just kick back; lack of employment made that decision for me. 😅 Would love to hear how/what other people are doing re: this stuff! #artproblems #fandomspaces

My painting for a contest I am working on just fell on my face. I need a new easel so badly. I am so frustrated with this situation. #art #artproblems #painting #frustration #disabled #pootpeopleproblems

So artist friends, how are you dealing with all of the AI art theft? I’ve found I can’t draw this week so I’m crocheting myself a new garment and focusing on my YouTube videos. Where’s your barometer at? #artproblems #mastoart

Getting the craving for new art commissions...

...but the problems to decide on an artist and a theme/idea (combined with a potential lack of a second character)

Almost ready to paint but I somehow got the paper wet in a way that created a texture change in two small areas and I’m really hoping this doesn’t create problems.
