working out regularly and watching what I eat has me gaining weight and muscle. I look good and feel better and it’s what I wanted but I am getting *bigger* and my fucked up brain that grew up in the 90’s heroin chic climate is Not Happy about it

alternatively, try asking 10 bucks for an art print at an artist alley booth and hear 10 people tell you it’s “overpriced” when you’re spending hundreds to be there. god forbid you actually want to at least earn your costs back instead of working for the exposure

as ever, if you ask people if they think art should exist for their enjoyment they will say yes, and then if you ask them if the people making the art should get paid for it they'll tell you "no that's a fake job"

in prep for my next con I found out my favorite sticker supplier basically doubled their prices out of nowhere, this is insanity I have to really think about what to order or raise my prices into unscrupulous levels.. man I hate this I think after this I'll take a longer break from artist alleys
