i've got a couple people who've asked me if i've been using donated money to buy art, or saying that me posting art reflects negatively on my asking for donations

i've said it a few times, but i'll reiterate; i haven't bought art since early in the year; since early august i've stopped buying anything that wasn't essential

in august i took a huge hit financially when my brother came over to my house and strong-armed me out of $5,000 dollars

so i canceled everything but internet, phone, cell phone, and utilities (electricity, water, gas); i only buy food and other essentials

i wouldn't even be in this situation had i had the wherewithal to stand up for myself

but just so everyone knows, this is all old art i purchased a long time ago when i still had money x3
