also. been having a very hard week. our house was burglarized / mini invaded. no one got hurt, but my sisters iPad she uses for her online school and dad’s phone got stolen, and our kitchen was semi destroyed, our rice supply was spilled everywhere and some?? eggs?? and canned stuff was stolen. After that, a family friend who was helping me with house duties got a stroke. So now I am all alone in dealing with all of this. It would be a huge mental health imrpovement, would absolutely mean the world to me if you guys can maybe help me boost my art? it’s just that I love drawing and it’s the only thing that’s been cheering me up.
my Twitter is my “home base” and I’ve been posting lots of my drawings there that I don’t post here, idk only if you’d like to follow ofc.
I also have three more slots of commissions on my ko-fi if you’d like to directly help.
My dad’s phone has the philippine version of venmo, called “gcash”, and it had about 200 usd in it that was only accessible through his phone (that got stolen).. it was for my mom’s next hospital visit for her glaucoma and some grocery expenses.. so, if you’d like a custom portrait from me, I will do commissions. The automated message says the deadline is June, but full disclosure, the earliest I will be able to send a commission completed is JULY.
mostly I just want a bigger audience for my drawings, I want to share my comics and my love for southeast asian culture, and would really really love a boost. Thank you for reading through n I hope u have a good day.
Hi guys. Am sick rn, but had wanted to post this before I go and sleep.
Some of you may already know that patreon sent out an update that charges anyone using ios to subscribe to artist’s patreons 30% more.
I immediately feel this impact mere hours later, and now, days later. I’m hemorrhaging patrons & have less income. It would mean the while world to me if you guys could please reblog this.
If you use the desktop version or the android app? you will not have to pay 30% more. Needless to say this decision of apple has completely fucked me over months and months to come, unless I somehow make up for my loss by other means.
My patreon is only a dollar a month!
I have around 400 exclusive artwork on it :)
I am working on uploading more art there, and more comics once I am done with my current contract as a comic artist.
I am currently partially homeless- so being alive in general is hard ;y; I wanted to focus more of my work on patreon, until this update- I only have one tier.
I am working as hard as I can, every month ♡ I am also the caretaker of three disabled people- as my dad, who used to do all the housework, is now too sick with a swollen liver that could possibly be connected to his heart problems, and my mama who has limited movement- she “died” of sepsis many years ago after giving birth to my sister, and was revived with nerve damage. I don’t know the medical terms, but she was brain dead for however long, and was successfully brought back in a different hospital. She was comatose for months; this event has lead to my family losing everything in hospital bills, our car, our house (literally we became homeless) ah. But long story short, I am the only person in my family who works- as my sister is a teenager, and she is autistic with a very, very low frustration threshold, as she is also a picky eater and still going to school! I’m sorry, many of my followers already know this story by now, I have already doxxed myself multiple times trying to avert crisis after crisis, ahaha. But yes. Patreon added to my cart of Sorrows, and would love to have more folks who aren’t using apple, or are using android and the web to come on over and maybe enjoy some of my private art up there. I post around 3-6 art a month, if I am lucky 7. I want to keep making art, and my patreon was what was giving me a semblance of stability until that silly update. Sorry for the long post, and I appreciate everyone helping, reblogging, saying kind words to me, praying for me. G-d bless you all, and stay safe
D(M)V or anyone interested. Sorry for making this post. I’m desperate to sell these tickets as I’ll likely need the money for … possible personal medical things (I don’t want to go into detail. All I will disclose is that my mother is sick and I need the funds to prepare).
Selling 2 Mitski tickets for Columbia, MD (Merriweather Post Pavillion) for $95 each (bought for $112 each)
1 for Friday Aug 30 Sec 200, Row W, Seat 33
1 for Saturday Aug 31 Sec 201, Row W, Seat 22
Both are seats underneath the pavilion and not on the lawn! (See the seating map)
PLEASE DM ME IF INTERESTED
*I do want to say I am open to the idea for Palestinian raffle funding with these tickets, I would rather just not have these tickets go to waste and I would like to either have some extra cash for my mom or at least help anyone else that needs it. The only reason I have not made these tickets into raffle prizes is because the show is just over a week away, I wasn’t sure if that’s enough time.
Thinking of how this filipino seafarer externalizes his pain when shown documentation of genocide (which far too many self absorbed people on all fronts refer to as “gore”) and how it is in the complete opposite direction of how “informed” liberals “grieve” genocide- people who benefit off of imperialism who make it a point that only their discomfort pain upon seeing palestinian suffering caught on video is the only one that is categorically worth acknowledging- that the grieving palestinian masses exist only as spectacle behind screens rather than a desperate, human plea against a millenia of dehumanisation via orientalism and a near century of unrelenting genocide via zionism and US imperialism- against billions of dollars worth of propaganda. Make your own, private, trauma informed communities if your own well-being is your only concern. It is fucking callous to continue to decenter palestinian voices in favor of western sensibilities . Jesus fucking wept.
Hey friends! Sorry if this is a bit annoying, but was wondering if I could have a bit of an art boost. Been feeling super down. Experiencing no growth on twitter, and it’s where I get all my work clients ;-; I’m desperately hoping for a break from industry work, and my only chances of freelance is twitter until bluesky takes off 😞 I’m hoping to open commissions on twitter soon on late November, bc on tumblr its a bit hard to find clients. Would really, really, really appreciate the art boost if you like my art! I’m Caleb- I’m an indigenous trans guy from the central Philippines. Im autistic and also hoping for a pots diagnosis as soon as I have more stability. I like drawing fairytale-like art, art that centers trans men, and I’m passionate about asian cultures in general..!
Being freelance on twitter and tumblr singlehandedly took me out of homelessness, managed to fix my sisters teeth and mine own, helped me get real treatment for ocd.. and I want to keep my lifeline as long as possible! I am only in my 20s, and I have a lot of plans n dreams to make comics around southeast asian culture and philippine history.. so I super appreciate any art boost! This is my only wish for the holidays. Thank you so much for reading..!!
Sorri, links are still broken on tumblr, but here is the link, just delete the a href and it should work
Bc of the recent stuff going around.. hopefully tumblr won’t die after all. Maybe you guys would like to help keep me afloat by supporting me elsewhere 🥲
Come follow me literally anywhere else my lieges 🥹 it’s so hard to make a living anywhere, being an artist is all i know. Plz help me make sure I have somewhere to fall back on as soon as my work at publishing ends.
Catboy type characters usually aloof, too beautiful, too distant to possess, meanwhile dogboy types will be like “I’m not a violent dog. I don’t know why I bite” and be shamelessly devoted to a different character. Do u get what I am saying divas. To the gay authors out there.
