#telekitneticart #indigenousart If you weren't aware already, this is the unfortunate hand I've been dealt this holiday season: having to job hunt in the winter while a potential recession is on the horizon.

ko-fi.com/telekitnetic...

RBs on this post are really appreciated <3
A drawing of TeleKitnetic's fursona making the shinji chair meme post. The top text reads "I got laid off from my day job", the bottom text simply reads "Bottom text". "After my final shift for the week last Thursday, my boss pulled me aside and told me I'd been let go (termination without cause) with severance in lieu of a two week notice. That day job paid for all of my rent, plus most of my expenses. The severance I got will cover most of my rent + expenses for one month, but that's it. And it's a very difficult time to be looking for a job right now (my last big job hunt took almost three months for a minimum wage position). My family has offered to lend me a hand for expenses if I need it, and I'm going to be looking into options like EI and art grants to keep me afloat, but other then that, my monthly income is now almost entirely dependent on my artwork. And it's obviously a very difficult time to be trying to make a living as an independent artist right now." I know it's a pretty rough time (understatement) for a lot of folks right now, but if you're able to give some money to help me out while I'm trying to get through this rut, it'd be greatly appreciated. 1. I have a monthly ko-fi membership (Tip Jar) where you can get occasional private WIP updates for as low as 4$ CAD (about 3$ USD) per month! This is great if you don't have the change for a commission or shop items/shipping but want to pitch in a little bit to me! 2. I have an online shop on the same ko-fi! It has stickers, prints, pins, and keychains of my formline art. US shipping is available and prepaid duties (tariffs, derogatory) are factored into the applicable product shipping cost. Great if you're looking for stocking stuffers this holiday season! 3. I take custom commissions for formline art from time to time! The reason I list this last is because comms take the most physical and mental strain of all these options, and the last thing I want to do is burn myself out when I'm already struggling. If you can't support me financially, that is fine! Reblogging/sharing my posts, shop listings, and art helps more then you think! A screenshot of TeleKitnetic's ko-fi shop.

What are Esmiryd and Hijarth reacting to? Wrong answers only

I found a big sign at the thrift shop with some live/laugh/love stuff on it, so I painted over that with my to-do list. Feel free to make it yours, too.

The millisecond I could pick up a pencil as a kid, my career path was basically set. Was always aiming for being a freelance artist (as an end goal) lol.

Now I just gotta claw a living out of it in this trainwreck of an economy.

A part of a set of commissions I had from someone who wanted me to draw their group's DnD OCs! First up, we have a vengeful paladin wolf man!

#FurryArt #Furry #DnD #DnDOC #WolfOC #illustration #ArtCommission #DigitalArt #TGNart
A fluffy grey anthro wolf cladded in black armor and green padded cloth and cape draped over his tail, posing in front of a church with one hand on his hip and one hand holding a detailed yellow, blue sword that rests on his shoulder; looking towards the left of the scene with a determined expression. Behind him are various white houses with wooden beam structures and green tiled roofs. The sky is overcast.

One day strikes are cool for raising awareness and all but honestly you should be trying to support your local cafe whenever possible, not just on the 13th! Starbucks intentionally drives small cafes out and they need your support for PSL season! ☕

BREAKING: Starbucks workers have just authorized a massive strike.

Union Starbucks baristas voted to authorize the strike by 92%.

Now baristas in over 25 cities could launch an unfair labor practice strike on Thursday, November 13th.

i would like to suggest to my mutuals to not use the alt text section for silly captions, jokes, incomplete desc, etc. People rely on alt text as an accessibility feature, and if you can imagine not being able to see the image, then having the wrong context can be even worse than having no context.
