In losing my animation job and pivoting to another career, I have lost 91% of my gross income. Went from feeling like I was thriving for the first time since moving out of my parents’ to being back under the poverty line. It’s really, really rough out here

This is not a call for pity but more to put into perspective how 2025 has been impacting a lot of artists:

Between losses of sales, wholesale, tariffs, and fewer corporate clients, I have lost 50% of my gross income this year as a full-time graphic designer and artist.

My finances are kinda shit right now, from losing my job in animation, investing in a tattoo career, & the high cost of living in LA.

As a result, I’m selling prints of my tattoo work! If you haven’t or can’t get a tattoo from me, consider a print (-:
