Fulltime Artist Goal: Feb Expenses
TL;DR: I’m offering commissions and items in my shop- please check them out! http://ko-fi.com/charreed/commissions https://ko-fi.com/charreed/shop https://www.patreon.com/CharReed … After working for 5 years at a part time job, I have the opportunity now to work full time as an artist- THE DREAM!!! That said, this past month, Jan 2022, it became apparent that a dream is only as good as it is working out for you. After moving across the country in the first week of Jan and getting sick for nearly the rest of the month, I was only able to generate $354 toward Feb’s $1200 of bills. I need your help in order to meet my goal! The plan was to earn Feb’s expenses in Jan and continue forward with that momentum throughout the year, but you know what they say about the best laid plans… so I’m pretty behind on covering Feb’s expenses. I have next month to make this full time artist thing work out before I am out of savings and have to look into other means of making ends meet. I’ve
Jan Commission Spots OPEN
The last week of Jan is upon us and in order for bills to get paid next month, I have a few more commission slots that need to be filled! 5 Digital Sketch spots 3 Digital Painting spots 2 Digital Canvas spots (Or some combo therein!) All the info to commission is here: http://ko-fi.com/charreed/commissions If you have any questions, lemme know!
The Importance of Value
I’m still trying to make a living at this “doing art full time” thing. Gotta say… This month? Not so good so far. Getting sick really didn’t help with that, but I’ve also been floundering at what to do and how to do it. I spoke with a friend yesterday and we were talking about how to add “value” to your audience. All the examples I was given for a value add to my audience was centred around teaching information. Here’s the thing tho… I don’t want to be a teacher. There are tons of very passionate teachers out there, but I am not one of them. I like giving advice or showing my process, but sitting down and writing out lesson plans and harping on a concept for a week just sounds like torture to me. That said, I think there is a value in sharing your process. Artists can learn from it sure, but non-artists (my main audience) may find the process entertaining. And there is real value in entertainment. The entertainment industry makes billions on dollars every year. I just need a fraction
2022 Goals!
Better late than never! This year, my goal is to support myself for the next 12 months via my art alone- through commissions, Patreon and sales from my shop ☺️ Been having quite the year so far, just moved from one coast of the US to the other, managed to get covid, now I’m trying to make up for lost time by making my Feb goal of $1500 in the next two weeks- eep! In order to jumpstart on this goal, I’m offering commissions! Pet portraits, D&D characters and fursonas are all within my repertoire. I have several examples above. If you are interested, you can always jump over to my commissions menu to see what’s available: Alternatively, if a smaller, more regular contribution is more your style, I offer weekly sneak peeks at my comic, digital wallpapers and more over on my Patreon starting at just $2: Either way, thanks for reading and supporting my art and process any way you can- likes and shares do wonders as well! ❤️ -Char
