Reminder to fellow artists:
NFT = Scam
Payment per check = Scam
A special delivery service = Scam
Them asking for YOUR PayPal address = Scam (always work with
invoices.)
Them wanting a "picture of my pet or kid" = Scam most of the time.

And may more, it's gotten a lot lately ..

The Democrats need to get a hell of a lot of cameras on the White House and plaster the photos everywhere. It's not just the brazen symbol of a megalomaniac destroying national heritage; it's happening during a government shutdown when ordinary people aren't getting paid. Make every American see it.

“When they rob us of art and emotion, that leads us towards the aesthetics of fascism. In this film, all the sets are real, the decor is human-sized, there are painstakingly created miniatures... It’s there to remind us that art is not only necessary, it is urgent. And AI can go fuck itself!”

patrons are literally the only viable options creators have to survive right now. literally. myself included. and we're punished for panhandling, essentially.

sponsoring artist for the art they want to make, not for the art they CAN make for YOU, has to be normalized and encouraged.

I get the sentiment but equating independent creators trying to sustain financial support in the same breath as the enshittification web 2.0 corporate feudalism is ghoulish

should be worth pointing out creators often offer their work nearly completely free, subscription models are for bonus perks

Paypal is now playing harder ball on artists, going after anyone even mentioning commissions.

Artists, send invoices. That way, no one has to say what the money is for on Paypal's paper trail.

Customers, SAY NOTHING about commissions. Just say "thanks" on donos.

Everyone: INCREASE THE CALLS.

BY THE WAY

If you've updated to Windows 11 recently, you're probably on version 25H2.

There's a new setting in Settings: Privacy & Security.

Scroll aaaaaaaalll the way to the bottom and you'll see "Text and Image Generation."

TURN IT OFF.
