It's been nine months now since I started on my journey of trying to make a living with my art.

And it's been a really wild ride! One that's drained my savings... but things are looking up and looking forward!

My Patreon is up to $350 per month - not exactly enough to live on but I'm grateful for every penny and every little bit takes me that little bit further every month.

I have to thank every member and everybody else!

I'm not really spending hand over fist or buying commissions from other artists, or attending conventions or anything like that - I'm livin' cheap! Heck if you take a look at the commissions I do, add that up with Patreon, you can see for yourself the rice-and-beans budget I've been on. But the Roommate is moving on soon and oh boy I'm pretty anxious about this whole thing.

So, I've got some expenses coming up pretty soon. Moving expenses, new lease possibly, getting the car fixed up and settling a bunch of behind bills.

I don't ever want to ask for a handout, but I have been asked a few times to setup a Ko-Fi. So, I have!

If you like what I'm doing, where I'm going, and want to help keep it coming, consider taking a look.

Thanks!

It is SO hard to make a living as an artist in the world today.

With rent in a very reasonable area being something like 1,000. Food for a month, 150. Car notes, 300. Car insurance, health insurance, phone and internet costs, and taxes..

If I sell $2,000 per month in art, I'll be making $24,000 per year; very very very below the poverty line, and that's gross before taxes.

To make even $2,000 per month, I'll need to sell about 10 of my full Tier-3 Ref sheets at current cost each month. So, I'll need to finish one ref sheet every 3-4 days (including weekends) just to live well below poverty.

And that's assuming I have enough customers willing to order them.



So, how can I make this work? I can either drastically increase my prices, drastically decrease my quality, or try to figure out alternatives.

So, to try to make something work, I've opened a Patreon.

Thank you so much for looking, and please consider checking it out or giving me a social media boost.

I opened an art channel in Telegram to post my new stuff to.

Art and commission slot openings get posted there quite a bit before it gets posted anywhere else, so it's the best way to get a slot if you're looking for one nor or in the future.
