This is what your reposts and signal boosts can do for independent artists.
Last year, an author mentioned my shop on her substack. It changed my income so drastically that this is the spike of orders from that *one* mention last year. Word of mouth for an artist can change everything.

So, why did humanity eventually abandon technology?

Well, little one, the billionaires that controlled the tools got so greedy that they made it unusable to everyone else. That was right before the paper and pencil boom of 2030.
That’s so wild! And such a rare gift! 🥰

Every artist I know is really struggling right now. Financially, emotionally, their confidence, in general.

If you like an artist's work, support them any way you can. Buying their stuff or subscribing to their Patreon is great, but words of encouragement are also incredibly helpful.
That means today is gonna be special! I’ve *never* heard So. Central Rain in the wild. And I grew up in Atlanta!
Those are beautiful! So adorable and elegant! 🥰☕️☕️

NASA is not for sale.
The Post Office is not for sale.
America is not for sale.

We have an obligation to resist kings. We outnumber them. And they can be overwhelmed.
😉 That’s past you’s fault. They were full of dreams and fuzzy background thoughts! Remember… Next book = snow! Lots of snow.
Nooooo! 😭 I’m so sorry! I also get lazy when I’m pencilling and then it suddenly takes me a whole day to do a panel because I have to plan it out! I started adding boxes (that get bigger), plants, picture frames, rocks… anything that fits on a shelf! Whatever it takes to not draw those spines! 😉❤️📚

When I got into comics I didn’t think I’d have to draw so many people opening doors from a great variety of angles
