This is a very good visual for how talking about artists helps us. If you’ve commissioned, bought from or worked with an artist, please talk about it. It helps us a lot.

Last year, an author mentioned my shop on her substack. It changed my income so drastically that this is the spike of orders from that *one* mention last year. Word of mouth for an artist can change everything.

Never forget, fellow struggling cartoonists

There was a time that this was basically kind of a job

Homestly the biggest is that rates haven’t kept up with inflation and the cost of living. When I was a noob barely out of art school, I was able to cover my rent on a nice 1 bedroom apartment with what I earned from 2 days at the drawing board. I don’t know any new artist who could say that today.

I feel like there's a massive shift in the world, and I'm not sure how fast or slow it will change our lives but it's happening

I haven't been on here for a while,but yeah so I'm finally settling in a bit at my new dayjob. And might I just say that I'm not sure if americans know this or are aware but let me just say anything that's happening over there is greatly making waves all the way here in Asia. It's certainly...A LOT.

I was also burnt out to crisp for a while and have been drawing a lot again since 2023 but since then the areas ive been lacking in have been more apparent to me

In all seriousness i feel like i do need legitimate guidance on some areas…i keep hitting a wall on improvement and it bothers me sometimes
