Sometimes I forget that I can actually draw lmao As in, I know I can draw of course, but then I suddenly make something that requires a lot of combined skills I’m so amazed at what I can do. Like yes, I indeed AM a professional illustrator!! That’s so cool!!

hating your art is not a virtue, it's a sign of burn out or mental illness. the same way your muscles ache if you exercise too much or your stomach hurts if you're starving. learn to identify it as a sign you're pushing too hard or expecting too much of yourself somehow and check in with yourself.

Stickerapp, stickerninja, diecutstickers, stickerrobot, bumperactive, literally any other sticker website is better than Stickermule. Hell, printing them yourself on plain paper, cutting them out with dull scissors, and applying glue stick to the back by hand is better than Stickermule.

The latest move by Sticker Mule's owner. Please don't give these people your money (or honestly send them your artwork, you never know).

A Facebook post by Sticker Mule's owner Anthony Constantino. The post says "I support ICE ICE BABY. If you want a FREE T-shirt DM me your email". It has an image linked of a black shirt with ice-looking text reading "I support ICE ICE Baby"

think of all the cool art we’re missing out on because creators are constantly fighting to survive economically, fighting against corporations trying to automate creation, battling online trolls, nagging to get paid for work completed, learning to be being social media marketers, learning to be publ
