addendum to the previous post
the last year of my life has been about defending my copyrights more than ever - literally every day of the year - and it's exhausting and a full time job.

doing a lot of this lately
it's as much work as a solo art show but there's so little i can share until it's published (in a couple years!) -
ten years.
tomorrow marks ten years for my shop on Etsy. considering how much of every day i spend working on my shop/shipping/communicating through Etsy, this sort of feels like it's not an accomplishment at all. it feels like a day job of its own, so separate from what i wish my day looked like ( Read more... )
