I’m going to be frank about my YouTube channel. I don’t expect it to get monetized and/or go viral anytime soon, nor make a full career out of it. I just use it to promote my art and showcase my long-form work. A new short will be out tomorrow at 10 AM CDT!

In light of yesterday's events, I'm saddened to hear about students being robbed of their futures, and it reminds us that we may still have a long way to go as a society. 💔 My thoughts and prayers go out to all of the victims and their families. 🙏

I’ve finally finished all my #Halloween designs, so they’ll be available on #Redbubble next Sunday, the 31st. This will likely be my last major drop for a while, since I’ll be busy with my internship starting tomorrow.

P.S. Planning to make a #Cara and #Pinterest account to grow my Redbubble reach!

Update: My internship schedule is more flexible than I initially thought, so I'll be available for #Contra gigs again (I'm registered for a Maxxing event, anyway). I'm also still working ahead to publish my #Halloween collection on #Redbubble by the end of this month, as originally planned.

Once again, thank you for your patience as I return to a steady beat.☺️

However, I may need to postpone my #Halloween collection on my #RedbubbleShop to early next month, but I'm working ahead to get at least three of my designs uploaded beforehand. I will also make myself unavailable for gigs on #Contra until I get familiarized with my new schedule.

I apologize in advance; I had a cousin visit from abroad for the past month and a half, and I wanted to spend as much quality time with her as possible. Thanks, everyone, for your patience as I resume regular design releases on #Redbubble and prepare for an internship starting next Monday.

I just started sketching ideas for my upcoming #Halloween collection on #Redbubble. Since it's not officially the season yet, I'm hoping to have at least five designs ready by the end of the month; will update as needed.

Oh, and I just created a #Linktree, so all my links are now available there.

Hey, parents! Does your child need some unique, last-minute #BackToSchool swag? 🏫 Because my Back To School collection is now live on #Redbubble with some new designs your child will love! Don't wait, these designs are sure to turn heads in the classroom and beyond from day one!

Martha Swiercz @marthaswierczart.bsky.social · Jul 29

Here is a teaser for my upcoming #BackToSchool collection exclusively on #Redbubble! ✏️🎒

This collection will mainly be directed towards younger kids, so if you have or know someone with school-aged children (or an adult who's nostalgic for the colorful classroom era 🤭), this will be for them!

After some long-term procrastination, scheduling conflicts, MAJOR tinkering with account verifications/design formatting, and last-minute revisions, my #Redbubble shop is now live!🍾 Spread the good word! 😎

I saw the new #SupermanMovie last Sunday, and for someone who had never seen any of the previous films, it was super (no pun intended) phenomenal! ❤️💙💛

David Corenswet was perfectly cast as Superman himself, but Krypto was easily my favorite (blame my soft spot for animal sidekicks for that)! 🐶

Bad-ish news: This week is sorta loaded for me, so it looks like I'll have to finalize and launch my #Redbubble shop at my earliest convenience. Of course, I'll send out an announcement then, but I deeply apologize to anyone who's been anticipating my shop. I'll make it up to you later. 😉

Hello, everyone!

Small (read: big) update on my Redbubble shop: Unfortunately, I haven't had time to prepare and launch my RB shop this weekend as I originally intended, so I'm looking into launching it early this week (likely tomorrow or Tuesday ) instead! 😃

Martha Swiercz @marthaswierczart.bsky.social · Jul 2

Here are some more design mockups for my Redbubble shop, which I'm now planning to launch this weekend! These designs, alongside the lemonade and limeade designs from my last post, will be part of my debut collection on RB! Stay tuned for more details! #smallbusiness #redbubble #digitalart

Martha Swiercz @marthaswierczart.bsky.social · Jun 30

I have begun the designing process and made a couple of mockups! More designs will be added within the next few days and I am planning to launch my RB shop sometime next month once I get all of my current designs digitized. #smallbusiness #redbubble #digitalart

Here are a few designs I drew for the Redbubble shop (might also create variants for the lemonade design). I've also started looking into email campaigning to make announcements, promote new designs, conduct surveys, etc., sometime after the shop is launched.

I've recently been struggling to find a solid internship/job, so I'm planning to launch a Redbubble shop instead. I already have some artwork I could use as a starting point, and I am currently creating some new original pieces.

More details/updates will be provided! 😊

By the way, where are my fellow asexuals/demiromantics at?
