Just a heads up! Artists don't owe you affordable commissions and it doesn't give you the right to complain and harass them. They work to pay bills and eat just like us If an artist values their own art at a specific price point... who are you to challenge that? Move on.

Worst part about commission price discourse are other artists dogpiling & bragging about how they spend weeks on a piece and sell it for $150 because they “can’t expect others to pay outrageous prices” Undervaluing yourself is not a flex. You’re catering to the wrong customer.

I don’t know who needs to hear this, but news / social media—especially when constant, chaotic, and unfiltered—can hit our brains like a DDoS attack: overload attention, flood emotions, and make it hard to think clearly. It’s okay to step back and curate what you let in. Your mental uptime matters.

‼️For all US Art Collectors worried about the upcoming suspension of the $800 De Minimis rule‼️ Please note art is historically covered under 50 U.S.C. 1702(b) It is likely artwork will continue to NOT be taxed under the new system. #DeMinimis #ArtYear #Art #Artist #Artwork #ArtGallery

A screenshot that reads: "The executive order declares that "[t]he duty-free de minimis exemption provided under 19 U.S.C. 1321 (a)(2)(C) shall no longer apply to any shipment of articles not covered by 50 U.S.C. 1702(b)"

Logically this would mean that articles covered by 50 U.S.C. 1702(b) are exempt.

Screenshot that reads: "Artworks are explicitly included in the exemption provided under 50 U.S.C 1702(b)(3) because historically, U.S. lawmakers have viewed these items as forms of expression and communication protected under the First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution (freedom of speech)."

A realistic octopus sculpture is balancing on the artist's handpalm, held up over a white background.

The octopus depicts the species Octopus cyanea, also known as the Day Octopus. It is a warm golden brown, dappled with pearlescent spots.

Each of the octopus's arms is highly detailed with two neat rows of carefully sculpted and applied suckers.
