June 2026 marks my ten year anniversary of being a self-employed artist - now I give up. Seriously. Today sucked big time. The car being just the cherry on top. I know there will come better times and I'll do everything in my power to turn the tides but I'd really could use some help now.

Textpost: Hi, I need your help.
I struggle to find the right words and I really hesitated to make this post, but long story short. I’m currently financial wise in a very dire situation. Today I got hit by a heavy bill I cannot pay on my own (car repairs and I do need the car for upcoming conventions in August) Also there soon will come up other expenses, I do not have the funds for anymore.

Lately conventions and sales didn’t work out as well, as I was used to (if I even got into) I lost a long term project at the beginning of the year, one day before it should actually start - which messed up my planning completely and I couldn’t replace it since then.
On top of that I have been on and off sick since early 2025 - making me unable to work fulltime … and draining my savings. Because next to being exhausting and hindering me to do my job, the now known reason was bad and needed treatment, but not that bad that you’d die off from - so… you pay everything by yourself :D At least I feel much better already - hurray. 
Textpost: What now?
I am in the process of retiring (or at least significantly shrinking down) my freelancing and am looking for an employed job, which can support me and my comic making. Something I do not want and can never give up.

However… It will be still until September before I have wrapped up all my current obligations and can make the switch and with these new bills I am so, so scared to pile up debts I don’t know how to get rid of again. It really terrifies me. (And regularly puts me in a panic freeze, making me unable to work again - doesn’t help either)

Textpost: 
So I am turning to you asking.
If you have the means to help and ever enjoyed my art or a story of mine. Can you help me?
Buy something in my Shop or Commission me. 
Maybe join my Patreon for longer time support to help stabilize me, until I figured out this situation.
If you can not - and I really do understand! I’d love a share. Everything helps.
Thank you.
Caro

Coverillustration of the webcomic "Choose - The Agony of Choice" by Carolin Reich.
A red tiefling, holding a bloody dagger looking astonished. Lizards crawling over him. Two dark hands coming from behind and resting on his shoulders. An eerie big eye flows behind him.
It has a overall very dark and eerie vibe. Muted colors.

Public Domain Art is the lifeblood of small tabletop rpgs, but it can be a nightmare trying to find the right art and license. This week, I’ve re-uploaded my old list from 2020 (with updates) of public domain websites. That's 500,000+ public domain paintings, photos, maps, and film. Link below 🔗👇

Watched @professorbopper.bsky.social 's new video. Gotta say, it's a sobering look at the way art is viewed online that caused some inward reflection on my end. He put into words something that I could only kind of half articulate if I tried. Excellent video, give it a look! youtu.be/wAOUUVcmdjU?...
