I'm feeling spicy tonight. If you say 'artists need to create art now more than ever' and that statement isn't followed with 'and post your ko-fi/patreon link below so everyone can pitch in 5 bucks to keep you going', with all do respect, shut up.
No more of this 'inspiration to us all' nonsense

TL;DR: Pay artists
You don't need a painting or game to escape into!, you need a plan and action and change so you can have stability again.

The internet amounts to almost nothing if all you do is talk, if you are about your community, whether that's "black lives, LGBT, disabled or artistic" etc
Then support them irl, Go to local businesses & shows, write letters to gov donate.
Awesome. And I need medication, water, electricity and food.
Let's figure out a way to make that work out for both sides
I told ya folks, I'm feeling spicy

As a side income its great, but for the mental health of the artist, its disastrous to try to pay bills from commissions. I’ve rarely seen it pan out.
That should be the message too.
And we'd LOVE to, but we're too busy trying not to get evicted or dying prematurely from overwork and lack of medical care
I am trying my best.
But I have to feed myself. I can't afford that unpaid labor.
I struggle to want to even post anything with how it feels like I fly under every radar in existence lol
But yeah I feel the same with the radar! Artists somehow shouting at people yet still flying fuckin stealth !
(and good luck on that for you and your family as well)
And I appreciate that, hoping to find something soon.
Trying to "produce" stuff to start selling on Redbubble and other sites so that can hopefully be some kind of passive income, I don't know.
I have trouble even wanting to create anymore cause it feels like I'm doing it just to go flip burgers anyway.
It kills me inside.
My art isn't that good and to standout with pixel art, it needs to be damn near exceptional, and mine isn't.
I get why it doesn't take off, but it still fucking kills me.
