one of my biggest sponsors just terminated my contract. starting september, my channel will no longer be giving me any income, likely because i refuse to endorse gen-AI. i’m crushed and now having to look into switching careers, all because i won’t sell my values.

i just spilled monster on my canvas and blurring it into the gouache with my fingers made it look better than my actual painting did, and sometimes that really is the artistic process man

i think it’s actually really important for artists to look at the comments on today’s video. i’m seeing so many clients sharing their experiences with artists ghosting them and how demoralizing and impactful it was, and i think that’s something artists don’t really expect.
