First she got her artistic license, and now there's a shop with art in?!

Also there are photographs there just waiting for homes.

Do you like fancy paper with long-lasting ink on it, and the warm fuzzy feeling of supporting a hooman bean?! #artshop #printshop #artist

Damn. This is amazing. £325 per week, paid monthly, for 3 years - and the result was a profit for the Irish economy:

Post from Threads user rodneyowl: "Ireland has declared the Basic Income for Artists scheme permanent. This will be officially announced in tomorrow’s budget. Details to follow. Congratulations to all who fought for it and the present and future artists of all sorts in Ireland. That includes me 👌We’re just comin to the end of a 3 year pilot scheme. It’s been a roaring success. For every €1 paid out to the 2000 participants, the government got €1.46 back. Can’t argue with that. Other countries are already taking note."

But I've learned to live with the way that it hurts..."

It's a lovely day for sitting in the garden painting some flowery postcards and reading all about petal-count diversity

Kirsty Arts @kirstyarts.bsky.social · Jul 11

I will be adding more of these as I go, and you can watch me paint them live on Twitch

Do you like the notion of receiving a hand-written postcard with original art on it from a real human artist? I have a couple of watercolour postcards on my website that ship worldwide!
