Shop!
Oh yeah, this has been a hard year for EVERYONE.
But at the same time, I’ve felt this renewed need to dedicate myself to my art, and be what I always said I would be, a working artist, creating-as-a-career type person.
I am feeling both blessed and excited, (and maybe a little nervous) to really start selling prints. I have hundreds of prints from my career so far, and would love to clean them out to start making room both physically and mentally for new artwork!
Why is it important to shop local, and to shop from Artists? A lot of us have regular jobs, and a lot of us survive paycheck to paycheck. The only way to keep creating is to sell our creations. Creating is not just a hobby for some, it’s a necessity, a human drive. I can definitely say creating artwork is as necessary to me as breathing. Selling prints and original pieces will fund new creations, and i know for some artists, funds the ability to recover from this year’s trials, and allows us to eat something besides ramen.
I hope to sell enough to fund the creation of a new card deck (photos and video coming soon, until then view them on my ig: @Payasaart), to get a better printer, and to fund supplies for a new screenprinting studio setup.
Anywho. Please support this local artist!
