Should I make a separate account for One Piece updates so some people can avoid spoilers or should I just make a thread that's continuous? Or a hashtag people can mute if they don't wanna see?
Or do I rawdog twitter by continuing what I'm doing LOL
ARTISTS:
STOP CHARGING $30 FOR A COMMISSION THAT TAKES YOU 6 HOURS.
I see this all the time and I'm guilty of under charging but HOLY MOLY PLEASE CHARGE MORE.
A prof once told me if you're a student or training yourself in art never charge under 25usd/hr.
If you think 25/hr is too much please take whatever the minimum wage is for you and add at the very least a 75% increase self worth tax for yourself and the things you make.
One more comment: if you are a freelancer - keep in mind this is your LIVELIHOOD. You have a specialty skill being an artist. If you really don't want to charge a lot, at least consider charging over the minimum wage hourly so you can SURVIVE. Please 😭😭😭
Ok y'all I gotta mute this for a bit but if you're an artist just know this whole tweet thread is because I care about you and want to see you flourish that's all!

@tsunderica
Then you need to build your following first. If you start off with low prices then your audience will expect it.
It's a huge lesson I learned.
But once I started charging more, yes I got fewer but I got commissions that were from people who respected the process (1/2)
@somenolifer
This is why I added the 75% self worth tax.
If you don't believe your art to be worth much, it won't be.
If I can walk into a museum and see a banana being sold for $120,000 then you can charge more than 5.
@sammyvonvestra
@tsunderica
If you charge more per commission you will be taken seriously by companies and other artists and MORE likely to get quality jobs.
You also can make the same money with 1 commission if you charge higher than you would trying to charge peanuts
@klayfoam
I've felt so alone on this topic 😩
It goes to business resources too like pins and shirts and outside printers.
The excuse is "the business will get too big for them to handle. I wanna help them not be overwhelmed uwu"
NO YOU DON'T YOU JUST FEEL THREATENED
Please do not idolize people you have never met. Streamers, content creators, artists or even just random people on IG or Twitter. This has happened to me before and it's scary.
We do not owe you our time. You do not know us. Don't do what this guy did.
@theRazbuten
Realizing a lot of my friends only play a few hours of a game before retiring it blew my fucking mind.
I rarely 100% complete but I gotta beat it or it feels like I can't say I played it truly 😩😩😩
"Maybe you should stop retweeting taboo subjects if you don't want to lose followers"
Maybe my opinions, character, integrity and anything I say or do isn't based on pleasing people on the internet, karen.
Not even gonna pretend this isn't mostly a tiddy pic lmfao 🤷♀️
but today I noticed waistline and deltoid progress from the last few weeks and its extremely evident in this picture and I'm FCKN HAPPY AND PROUD OF MYSELF.
🧵GOOD NEWS THREAD🧵
In light of twitter exploding with bad news, I'm making a thread of Good News and facts to hopefully make at least one (1) person feel a lil bit better today.
🌟🌟ARTISTS🌟🌟
I want to get a thread rotating around to help make art more visible.
(You dont need to follow me to post/share work. I just wanna see some art)
Add your art to this thread and RT the original post so others can add to/see it too. Get more EYES ON YOUR SKILLS!
I made this super late at night in an empty house using nothing but my phone and basic free editing apps. Please be gentle.
Anyway heres my patreon ad lmfao
RTS AND LIKES APPRECIATED LOL
If i just make absurdist videos of me literally just praising games i like to the point where i'm literally just screaming about how much i love some minute detail that doesnt even make sense would you even watch it
Men telling on themselves is the funniest shit I've ever seen.
"Women have never enjoyed sleeping with me, why are they pretending with other guys????" LITERALLY CACKLING
I GOT THE JOB AND I'M GONNA CRY.
I'VE LIVED OFF NOTHING FOR SO LONG AND I'M GOING TO BE FINANCIALLY OK FOR THE FIRST TIME IN MY LIFE
I can finally start doing bigger things for the people who have helped me
Dear creators,
I know you work hard. I know its tough especially if you do everything yourself. But there are people who love what you do. Even if its a few people or thousands, we believe in what you do. Don't give up 🌸
If you're friends with women in hopes that someday one will be close enough to want to date you then you're their friend for the wrong reasons.
ALSO too many people waiting for women to break up with an s/o hoping to jump at the chance. It's gross please stop.
@ciaraturnerart
I just want to say I am so forever grateful and appreciative that you are sharing your knowledge with other artists. So many artists I've reached out to are extremely secretive when it comes to the process and I want to cry with how supportive you are to passing on knowledge.
@sarah_fong_tho
thank you for this thread because my age has been a huge insecurity for me since I hit my 3rd decade alive. People have literally treated me like a grandma if they find out I'm older like???????
THE HOSPITAL CALLED!!!!!
In regards to my thyroid and kidney issue my blood has been cleared and I have been marked as no longer at risk!!!!!! I AM SO HAPPY I COULD CRY
I still have my heart issue that's rough but I'M SO GRATEFUL TO ONLY WORRY ABOUT 1 THING INSTEAD OF 3. AHHH!
My challenge to myself for 2020 was to post a photo where I'm smiling with full teeth LOL
I used to hate how my face contorted, how my smile was crooked and how my eyes would mush shut when smiling or laughing. But I've been loving it lately and AM EMBRACING IT THIS YEAR ❤
Reminder that taking care of your personal appearance can boost your mood and make you feel productive.
If you work at home, sometimes showering early and getting ready as if you were going to meet an important client can boost your productivity and confidence!!
Forgot to put massive false eyelashes on but whatever.
I wanted to hop on the
#cowgirl
trend to advertise that I have a small art business and I'm trying to make Moo-ves. Just gonna try to milk as much of this hashtag as I can. The steaks are high.
I don't usually post my face but I got the best hat today at the zoo and I'm so happy about it I wanted to share. I love all the animals I'm seeing!
Have a nice day everyone!
