- - - - LIFE UPDATE - - - -
Whelp.... as you all know, 2020 is shit. We're gonna have to trudge through it for a couple more months... then spend half of the next year getting the stink out.
Most of you know I moved back to Florida cause of multiple reasons. Last journal explains that and with the way things are now, everything is on hold. What I am hating the most is that I haven't found my groove yet to get consistent work done. I hate it, but it happens when you have a routine and life just decides to mess shit up for you. It'll take a bit, but I'll get it back eventually. Nothing much to add but trudging through shit.
- - - - COMMISSIONS UPDATE - - - -
In Stream commissions will commence as usual. Honestly taking it other than in stream takes me much longer. I DON'T know why... and I absolutely HATE dragging on producing one piece of art more than I need to. It shoots my drive down so bad. If there is anyone I am missing by all means, contact me via notes so we can get all the 'loose strings' cleaned up.
- - - - ONLINE STORE & PATREON - - - -
Do any of you use online pre-made eCommerce sites to sell physical AND digital items? If so, who do you use and why? Cause I am looking for a site where I can pay ONLY for the months that I am planning to keep the store open. It makes no sense to keep it open 24-7/365 for such a small fry like me. I am really interested in building a whole e-commerce site.... nooooo.... what do you guys suggest?
STUPID PATREON charged for September and I was going to refund but the shit got transferred to my bank account. I was SHOCKED honestly... first time anything moved so damn fast when paying out money was concerned. I can refund you if you like, BUT either way I am working on 8 sets of pieces for everyone (large print, mini print and sticker) who was still on the list. Doesn't matter the tier you were in. Just having you linger there even though I am not charging anyone at the time was plenty of support for me ^^. (SO! If you do want a Patreon refund, note meh! and I will get it to you asap) I AM planning to keep Patreon CLOSED till I figure out what the fuck I want to do with it.... to be honest.. it's like all the artists are doing it and feels like an over-saturation. You got Patreon here... Kickstarter there, Kofi, Subscribestar, Onlyfans etc and I don't feel like ANY of it is for me.... and I am thinking Gumroad would be more fitting. Not feeling pressured to consistently push content out when the drive drops and you get content when YOU feel like it too.
Either way... it's all a learning process... I'll figure it out eventually... XP
