Working on a small oil painting with texture. This colour yellow is my absolute favourite when the golden sky is reflected in the water 🧡💛

I suppose I should make a post for #portfolioday
I'm Skutch. I draw stuff. I mostly do editorial illustration, portraits and character illustrations but I've recently begun work on my first graphic novel!

Some traditional plein air (and a study of Pride and Prejudice) from this year’s Plein airpril. Strangely, I think my traditional studies end up way more successful than my digital. Perhaps because I had a more limited palette to work with?

Passion Tax is so real. I've never known an artist who wasn't just scraping by -- even the ones you think are successful. Even the ones working in studio.
It makes you feel like you're insane, fighting for scraps.

this "passion tax" appears all over the place & should be talked about more. you see it in book stores and game stores all the time
excitement for particular work is constantly weaponized to depress wages & pit workers against each other

I am an adherent to the philosophy that all the best artists are perverts in some way, if not openly then privately. What is perversion if not having unchecked passion, the same passion that fuels artistry.

I may not be a NSFW account, but this recent attack via payment processors should concern everyone, not just people who create/like adult content. I've RPed some ways to fight back, but also do yourself a favor and check out this thread. SO many incredible artists and they deserve love and support.
I have nothing to add to the discourse today that hasn't already been said more eloquently elsewhere, but if you're feelin' helpless I might suggest that this is an excellent time to toss a coin to your local smut peddler. ♥
