there’s a lot of that with “woodworking” too because people will just laser engrave an ai image on a cutting board and call themselves artisans.

a lot of them think hand-crafted goods are supposed to be cheaper than what you can get in stores, and that you shouldn’t factor your time into your prices. also if you’ve ever brought a dog or a child to a craft fair they’ve fantasized about your death.

i joined a vendor tips group on fb to get an idea of what goes on in the minds of the non-artist types who have booths at the general markets i do sometimes. and basically they are all insane.

it’s crazy that it was allowed into an anthology movie because it’s so disrespectful to the other filmmakers. especially the last segment where they put a lot of detail into props and background elements and either hired artist friends or did it themselves.

at my first market of the month. it’s been super dead. a woman who was about to buy two prints put them back because her husband said no. he was wearing a shirt advertising a brand of shorts. he must really love those shorts.

people also send me a lot of messages about my work being stolen and like just leave a comment on the post of the stolen thing pointing people to my account so that if they care about the original art they can find me.

a lot of people message me this time of year about buying a tattoo ticket or whatever so i’ll post this again: you can get my work tattooed, i don’t care. if you feel like you want to pay me for that just buy something from my shop.
