Where does this world go?
Added 2023-06-16 16:46:53 +0000 UTCBefore, I had more than 70K views on a single illustration on Twitter and more than 5,000 visits to my profile through the illustration. 99.9 of my subscribers here on patreon know my work on twitter. Every month, because of piracy, more than a third of the page's subscribers leave and Twitter brings others back. But now an illustration on twiter doesn't reach more than 1k views and 7 visits to my profile.
How can we live like this? How can we have security, pay our bills and support our families without having any security and peace of mind.
12/14 a day without weekends or holidays. This is not the kind of work you can do in your spare time. Any mason earns twice as much and works only 8 hours a day and I believe he has the weekend off.
artificial intelligence, piracy, criminal taxes, dollar falling against my country's currency, etc, etc...
I'm the type that doesn't mind fighting difficult battles as long as it brings me some result. Honestly, I don't mind working 14 hours as long as it brings me peace of mind. But the way this world is.
How to work and try to produce something beautiful, creative, cool and fun with your head like that?
You who are here are everything to me. You are the people who really make this world go round. Without you none of this would exist. And I thank you very much for that.
Sorry for the outburst.

If there is life after death I really don't know. Actually I don't think so. But if there is. It will be these types of comments and experiences that I will take with me. Thank you my friend. You made my day shine. π

2023-09-09 00:17:04 +0000 UTCI totally understand. Before I got sick, I had battled issues with not being able to keep fans to the point that I closed my Patreon page. All artists get pirated (sadly). I've seen my work shared on different pirate sites and i know it was one of my paying fans posting my work. Ever since Musk bought Twitter, it has sucked. I'm sure his ego has screwed up the site for many artists just like you. Sorry I don't have answers for at this time, but if I think of anything, I will be sure to message you.

2023-08-11 02:37:13 +0000 UTCYou have every right to be frustrated, and as a huge fan of yours I am frustrated on your behalf. Your work has only gotten better over time, and i so dearly wish that your compensation matched your efforts. I guess all i can really say is how much I adore your content. There simply is nobody out there that does what you do. Fuck the pirates! Every time you post, it makes my day shine a little brighter :) Thank you for doing what you do - You are appreciated!!!! β€οΈ
