Need your thought on a new idea :)

Hello wanderers ♥
I know you are here for my illustrations, but I'd really love my art to come out from screens into you daily life. You know, to make the world a little less bitter in those hard times.
So I'd really love to hear your thought on the few following products I could actually realize for you.
- Patterns: what do you think about a tile patterns with more of your OCs that can be printed over fabrics, wallpaper, or whatever? I'm thinking to something art-deco that will embellish your clothing/house.
- Bookmarks: I'm planning to draw some YCH with bookmark aspect ratio that you can personalize with you character/quote (and print it if you wish). Would you use it?
-Magazine cover: What about a "fake" magazine cover featuring your OC? You could print and hang it to feel more precious ♥
Let me know if you're interested in any of them. You can also tell me "please no, go back to your illustration". This journal is just to check your taste so, please, be sincere.
Thank you very much,
Scarlet.
PS: how's things in USA? None speaks about you in Europe, but some of my friends are suffering a financial crisis. Hoe bad is it?

FA+

Nearly took my own life mid-May; caught COVID early June and during my Birthday. It is odd that Summer repels me this year.
I love to think that universe is balanced, and when everything goes wrong, universe is in debt of good things with you. XD Not sure if it helps though.
Best wishes anyway, may balance be with you.
As for the US, it's... uh. I don't have a picture of a dumpster fire handy, so just picture that here with little flames on the ground. I stand in the middle. My shirt says 'this is fine' a la the meme. I have $0.28 in my bank account and human rights are crumbling. Please, great grandfather, give me your Norwegian citizenship. Aaaand yeah. That is the essence of the waking nightmare without ever even touching on the systematic takeover of our school boards by actual nazis so.
We are on the same boat :/ wages dropped for everyone here, prices doubled. We all have saving though, so we are still "living well". But we're going down soon if nothing changes.
As for anything in the US?
Things are less then great for a lot of people. Ever since the GameStop stock fiasco in 2016-2017
The rich retaliated against the poor and almost extinct working class by buying up land and housing forcing a scarcity and blowing up the cost of purchasing homes and rent
Homelessness on the rise. Several of the older politicians are losing their minds creating illegal laws and forcing them through (Similar to the France fiasco) and our "ancient" political groups are terrified
of the sudden loss of support.
Birth rate in this country is low. So the political fookers made it almost illegal for prenatal care for woman. There's talk of even make it harder for males to get a vasectomy. So Murica went from the "great melting pot"
to the incredibly large man made cesspool. We're hurting just like the rest of the world. Just our media who's owned by a single entity. Doesn't broadcast it
If you ask me, the problem is not the low birth rate but the low death rate of those damned ignorant, egoist, elders who rules everything. It may be rough to say, but each of them is a damned huge consumption of resources, and it produces nothing but poverty among the new generations. Someone has to say the truth, sometimes.
We're deafened by the naive, while we silence the wise
As for the US? House and rent prices in my area of the country have gone batshit crazy. I have a friend working in a major tech company in a well-paying Silicon Valley job and he can’t even begin to think of buying a house. As for me, I am okay on money, if you don’t count the debt I am paying down. I was able to save money for the summer thanks to some good paychecks. (I’m a substitute teacher, in the US school is out for 3 months. I get zero pay for those three months. I am lucky my husband has a good job or we’d be having serious issues.)
Same here. You got to make a 40years loan to buy a damned cube instead of a house. But, if there's a good thing about US is that everything runs faster then light. Things should go better in a relatively short amount of time (not sure what will happen in between XD)
I’m on the Central Coast, and even in the less “desirable” part it has gotten really bad.
I would also suggest wall scrolls in addition to your patterns idea. I'm a sucker for wall scrolls.
One more idea I had, which may fall into your magazine covers. Book covers for sketch books.
But if you know people willing to buy sketchbook covers, I'm in 😂
