I’ve gotta be honest about this: it’s stupidly hard to get money from people who like my things.
Clients? That’s different.
but when people tell me they’ve used my wallpapers for *years*, I think oh, neat. Cool that it was free I guess.
And like, I want it to be free. I don't want there to be a barrier there.
But I also think that more people should consider sending cash for art they like.
This is not a part of our society so I totally get why art isn’t funded like this.
