@womenofillustration: Being a freelance artist is already lonely enough without treating every creative interaction like a fucking LinkedIn opportunity. We need more artist friendships where we can complain about Instagram algorithms, celebrate making our first sale, ask for honest art critiques, and sit in comfortable silence while we work on our illustrations. No pitching. No pretending we have our shit together. No turning every conversation into a marketing strategy. That's exactly the kind of creative community I'm building inside the Women of Illustration Discord. For $20/month, paid Substack subscribers get access to our private artist community, coworking sessions, art critiques, marketing feedback, and a bunch of other weirdos trying to make a living from their art without losing their minds. And yes, I'm hanging out in there Monday through Friday too!

Un-boxed art :
Sucks being lonely. I worked in retail for so damn long and I had some lovely experiences but in the final couple of years I had a lot that were the opposite and that’s made me lose trust in people. I was that high energy, bubbly, happy go lucky person and now I feel like I lost that. I will listen to your podcast.
