People have always made fake things to rip off others. Fake Rolexes, fake Nikes, snake oil salesmen. And remember too that technically /anyone/ could show off themselves drawing in front of one of those landscapes you took pictures of. AI increases your competition, but it does not replace you.

That depends on what your plans are, but 100% polyester made in Vietnam shirts and handknitted sweaters are largely speaking different market segments. You have *always* been good at making people feel welcome and cherished. Why not try showing off making art in different places?

Merry Christmas and Yuletime tidings to all. May we all eternally receive that which we desire...

Then you understand the point of life, AA. You have to keep surviving. I'm grateful I lived this long too.

A 1x1 square of this is what is carved out for you to do what whatever your liege permits, and to pay them for the privilege. You should not have to sacrifice to wake up to this. By human intent this is something to be fought against. Of course you should not sacrifice overly to endure this.

I think if you're considering it this strongly already you know the answer already too. Birds shouldn't have to pay to sleep in cages.

That bad interview? If you have to, you can forget about it and pretend it never even happened. There's an entire planet of opportunity out there. Hopefully they aren't all as foolish as the last set.

You'll find something good, because you ARE good.

Someone has to guide the future. Why shouldn't you?

Just before Yule is disgusting. You and them deserve better. But, risk doesn't mean anything is guaranteed to happen.

The free flow of information cannot be abated. You have products in local shops - focus on that first. If they're buying your products in person, smile at them! The rest will come, even if nations fight.

Ahh, I kinda have and the main problem is they will probably not buy from me while the prices are as high as they are </3
To be honest just the postage cost alone is high, I wouldn't blame anyone for not wanting to purchase from the UK anymore!

Don't feel helpless. Increase your prices to match the duties and pass them on to the consumer. Tell them to do something about their country's taxes if they don't like them.
