1. Promote artists a gen. younger than you. Share your platform. RT them, mention them in interviews. (This means being aware of what younger artists are doing!)
2. Hire them if you can. Pin ups, commissions, variants, fill-ins, assists, anything. A small gig can be what helps them make rent.
⭐️ Are you european and selling merch??⭐️
I want to make a starter pack of european merch artists of Bluesky that I can follow and buy from 👀
If you're interested, reply to this post and share it around!
Bonus point if you're from the LGBT+ community or any marginalized group!
LET ME BUY YOUR STUFF
This is 10x better and more fun than using AI.
big reminder to everyone that SHARES AND COMMENTS MATTER‼️‼️
if you like an artist's drawing, SHARE IT!! and comment something, even if it's a simple heart emoji or an "i like how this looks!"
not only does it make the artist feel GREAT, but it helps others see the piece as well
bringing this back because i keep seeing people talk about "low engagement". the engagement won't come out of nowhere, you need to interact with people. comment on other's art, share their work, don't just drop a like and scroll
With apologies to Gary Larson
Artists are so silly "If I finish this art then I'll reward myself....by drawing more art"
"engagement is low on Bsky" for the millionth time.
Then engage. SHARE posts. TALK to people. Do literally ANYTHING but "Like and Go".
Bsky is not dead, it's just free of Algorithms and that means YOU HAVE TO DO SOMETHING if you want engagement!
what it feels like to be an nsfw artist sometimes
a very helpful tool with light references on human face

High profile individuals saying "trans lives matter" is nice but how many trans people are in their employ?

maybe some aren't conveniently baked into your art program, but there are so many free and incredibly helpful options out there!
So Ko-Fi has confirmed they're not bringing back the search/marketplace feature. All discovery has to be done on your own, which super sucks.
For any fans of Ko-Fi creators, now more than ever, word of mouth would really help! It's free to do and can make a big difference for those creators.
Still haven't had much movement here i have the next 2 days off to work on stuff. Im almost out of the slow season for work i need just enough to get outta the red if any thing

Similar phenomenon: NSFW content is incredibly policed from small creators on platforms that will then allow ads that are nearly softcore.
NSFW content isn’t censored if it makes money for big corporations, but individuals and small creators have to toe an arbitrary line of what counts as too much.
The government is asking for public comments on whether banks should be able to deny you from buying legal goods at their own whim (i.e. how they're cracking down on art)
Tell them you don't want to be told how to spend your money

No amount of propaganda should ever convince you that some children don't deserve to grow up.

Reposting this-- Bluesky hides NSFW posts from you by default so you'll miss my work if you don't turn it on:
SETTINGS > MODERATION> Set toggle to Enabled
✨ Also be sure to turn on "sexually suggestive (cartoon)" setting:
SETTINGS > MODERATION > Bluesky Moderation Service > Set to "off"
I have had exactly 0 movement on this. Just paid the rent and there goes my entire check and part of the next one. Please I know things are tight for every one but if you can spare a few dollars
Dyke Knights! Now in colour!
