She taught me and my sister that we could make things beautiful, even if in small ways, and let us glue glitter and fake gems on our cheap kids furniture and make it ours.
> Capitalism tries to say that art isn’t successful unless it makes money. But that’s not why humans make art.
> We make art to convey emotion. To make an object or a moment or a story OURS. And making someone smile when they hear you sing, or look at something you made for them is as valid a reason for creating as any other.

hello friends, a question to you:

would anyone be interested in me doing commissions? I’ve been posting my art weekly (at least in my IG) for almost a year and I think I’ve gotten the hang of digital art enough to dare to try to make some money off the skill. I’m not directly asking for customers in this post because I know I’d need to come up prices for everything, but as i’m super inexperienced i think i’m not going to ask anything more than 20€ for any of my stuff. think of it as market research, would you or anyone you know be interested in commissioning me? also doing ocs!

i will still be posting weekly, just been a little bit preoccupied with school lately!
