hello everyone!! for those who are new here or simply passing through, my name is craig, and i've been a hobbyist artist ever since i was very young (i joined this site when i was 10!!) i am now 18 and just recently graduated high school, currently enrolled in college to pursue a career is psychology as it has been my dream for years to help people with their mental health as someone who has struggled in the past.)
when i was 17, i was kicked out of my house by my mother over an argument we had over who should have access to my hard-earned money. i was working hard at a factory job for eight hours a day, yet i had no way to access any of the money i was making for any reason while she had complete control over my finances. i moved in with my grandma for some time and continued my schooling and factory job before having to quit my job due to complications between school and work (my job was nearly an hour away, and i worked very early to late shifts that completely destroyed my sleep schedule and made it nearly impossible for me to focus on my schooling.
unfortunately, some traumatic events took place at my grandma's, so in february of this year, i moved into an apartment with my partner alex, their pet leopard gecko rango, and one of my five cats mochi. as of writing this, i have been unemployed since november and despite applying at many different workplaces, i have had no luck in finding a secure and safe job in my area.
i suffer from professionally diagnosed chronic pain due to a spinal fusion surgery (my left shoulder and left ribs) i had when i was young as well as various mental conditions such as severe anxiety and depression, bpd, and neurodiversity (add and autism) which makes me a very low priority candidate for many jobs. my physical disability has made it so that i can only lift up to 20 lbs without putting a severe strain on myself and worsening my condition (which was also professionally noted.) i am also a transgender man who has yet to physically transition.
when i was living with my mom, i was incredibly sheltered and dependent. i was forbidden to get a job for many years and only got one when i went against my mother's wishes my junior year and got a summer job at the factory. despite this, i had no access to any of my money and had to rely on my mother whenever i was in need of something such as gas, a phone, food, or medications. she was also vehemently against me being transgender, refusing to allow me to sign up for life-saving things such as hormones, gender therapy, and eligibility for top surgery. in fact, she was completely against me seeing a therapist at all and only caved when i was put on suicide watch at my school. i went to see the therapist (who i didn't click with) for about five times before she stopped making appointments for me, and i was left alone again.
now that i am on my own, i feel like i'm floundering in the deep end. i'm trying my best to get on the path that i need to be on. i'm selling a great deal of my belongings. i apply for whatever jobs pop up in the area. i booked an appointment with a psychiatrist after years of my primary doctor telling my mom to do so, and i am also going to start seeing a therapist regularly. i'm starting the long process of transitioning to the best of my ability by buying binders and finally being open with my primary doctor. i'm also trying to see if i qualify for disability which is an equally as long and perhaps harder process. it's a lot of work, but i'm trying.
unfortunately, there are always other costs that get in the way. though alex and i split rent, we still have to pay it. our apartment doesn't cover electricity either, so we pay for that. both of us do a lot of driving and thus spend a lot of money on gas. my cat is special needs and old (but not euthanasia old!! she's 8) which requires a lot of vet visits and money. we need food.
being unemployed and having limited money, i need to find a way to be making at least a small amount of income. i've been trying to sell my artwork for years under varying prices of what i deemed worthy at the time but to no avail. it was never that important to me until now as it seems to be my one option to make money until i can find a job or claim disability. i know my art isn't that great, but the only way i can get better is to keep drawing! i just can't afford to draw as a hobby right now though as i simply don't have the time and money to waste like that. that's why i'm sending my message out into the open in hopes of sparking some interest, gaining some support, and earning some very valuable money.
i'm so willing to try so many different things to grow as an artist! please don't feel as though i wouldn't be able to take on your commission because i never give up on drawings! even if they aren't perfect, i give it 110% of my effort and try my best to make pieces that will make people smile! it would mean the world to me and more to be able to make an income from my hobby and improve day by day, so if you have even the smallest inkling of interest, please check out the links above! i promise that every single cent matters at this time.
thank you for allowing me to be vulnerable and hearing me out. i sincerely hope that i can look forward to doing business with some of you soon or in the future. have a great day/night, stay healthy and safe, and i love you!!!!
