Hello! I’m interested in one of your pieces that isn’t in your shop yet. I saw you mention that it’s okay to print it out ourselves if it’s for personal use but I feel weird doing so without paying for it. Do you have anything like venmo/cashapp, etc? Your art is gorgeous, thanks for sharing it with the world 🥰
Thank you! Yeah it's truly fine - I don't have anything like that, if you're still feeling weird about not paying then use that money for charity or something else nice for yourself! Or you could buy me Tumblr crabs/ad free to keep this poor old website running so I can keep yeeting art onto here (and okay, the crabs are a funny feature).
For context - as artist I earn slightly less than 10% from the Society6 sales price, so a $20 print nets me $1.84, $10 print gives me $0.95. Adding this because I feel like many many people don't know, especially with Society6's "every purchase pays an artist" branding. I'm lucky enough to not need to make money from my art and this definitely plays into why I personally encourage people to just print my art themselves for personal use :) emphasizing the me here because please never assume the same for other artists if they haven't said anything about this!
Just to be clear I still hugely appreciate every sale because it's wild to me that people want to pay money for my art, or that it's hanging in homes around the world!
