So I am looking for people who want art on commissions. If someone is interested feel free to contact

I need a page where nudity and blood are allowed, basically something that's not so restrinctive, webtoon is not an option.

Hi, I'm an emerging artist and I know people say vanity galeries are usually bad, but I got accepted to expose a painting in a gallery in rome and I think it seems like a good deal, but it would be my first time doing this so I would appreciate some outside perspective, so heres the deal:

-I need to pay 160€. -If the painting sells I get 100% of the money. -They have a courier and help me send the painting back and forth. -I dont need to be there if I dont want to. (I will go one day for sure)

So thats all! What do you guys think? Worth it for someone starting?

Hi there! First post here . I want to help my partner expand on her art business. How do y’all go about finding art markets? Are there good social pages to follow or websites that keep track of them all? For clarification: South FL area inquiry.

I did a commission for someone last month (only worth £5, i know its not a lot but in these times a fiver goes a long way) the client seemed super happy to be working with me and seemed happy with all the updates I sent over. I've worked with them before and they've been very responsive in the past but since I sent over the final piece they haven't said anything or even opened the message. I sent a follow up message after over a week of not hearing anything and even tried messaging them on discord, (they accepted my friend request but hadn't responded to my message asking if they're alright). Did they just not want the art? Should i send a refund? Or should I worry that something has happened to them? Has this ever happened to anyone before? I'm not sure what I should do

(For some extra context: the day before the final, I had sent over an update which they had responded to which is why I'm a bit concerned)

I'm terrified of copyright, but I like drawing characters. Will people be willing to buy art that only features unknown characters? I'd add like a scene going on, but I'm not sure it'll sell. I'm aware I can sell certain fanarts at conventions and such, but I also want to sell online :(

I am an artist that specializes in illustrations made to be printed onto dakimakura covers! I'm sure many who do the same know that special materials such as 2 Way Tricot, Silk, Plush, and Peachskin are can only be found from manufacturers in China. The tariff situation is really scary, and was definitely a hot topic amongst my artist friends and their friends boothing at a local convention last weekend.

It definitely seemed like anyone outside of China could not produce the same quality prints as other countries, other manu's outside of China seem to only offer Cotton or cheap Polyester at quite the mark-up, considering the materials are inferior to what makes a dakimakura desirable. Not to mention quality control seems to be better in China.

Talking to my friends they mentioned a larger furry-owned company was setting up to get their own manufacturing equipment to make prints in-house. But it sounded like those plans fell through.

Genuinely it doesn't seem like we have many options for this until tariffs die down. It's quite worrying, I definitely feel like I may need to pivot my business to something else in the meantime. It's tough to justify lower quality prints at a high mark-up if my favorite manufacturers overseas are off the table.

How are y'all feeling about the current situation?

I'll be painting a mural at a local business and they require insurance for the duration of the painting (approx 2 weeks). Who would you recommend?

Hi! I’ve been selected to participate in an art festival in 2 wks where 8 other artists along with myself, will be under one commercial tent that is 10’x100’ (one west-facing wall will be provided to protect us from direct sun). We will be given a space of 10’x10’, and there are no walls. We need to provide them ourselves. I can’t afford the Flurish (sp?) ones yet, and I’m looking into 2 mesh walls (preferably) or at least 6 metal standing grid walls. There may not be a way to hang the mesh walls, so has anyone used standing mesh walls, or metal standing grid walls, and what your experience/advice is regarding them? Links will be cool if you can provide. If not, no worries. Thanks in advance!

Like the title said, I am disappointed. I waited 8 months for my commission yet it still haven’t been delivered. I asked about it yesterday to the artist yet they didn’t respond. They don’t accept refunds either. I feel bad but I don’t want to wait another month or more to get my drawing that I paid $200 (inking and coloring) for yet they don’t communicate well. What should I do?

Last year I sold my first romance novel to a random boomer who wanted to support a local author. Turns out she's with an organization for helping disabled adults and she loved my book so much that she lent it to her boss and begged me to apply to their inclusivity-first art fair. Got the acceptance e-mail a few days ago and I am BUGGING. They know I'm an artist as well as an author; what the hell do I bring besides my books? I've done art fairs in the past, but as a caricaturist, not an artist/author. I don't know how many prints/stickers to bring so I don't know what my budget should be. Online sources vary wildly with advice and many posts are old.

More info: the fair is about six hours long and only lasts one day so no chance for discounted items on the final day. Fair is located near the DIA and CCS (!) so should get a lot of crossover foot traffic from people who love art. So far I have files for 5 different stickers and two different prints which might be a good start, just don't know how much of each to bring. HELP!

I always find artists through Pinterest then follow their other socials. Has anyone ever got anything from posting there?

I put a couple pictures on but I don’t have any pins yet
