If I have to permanently do something else, it will end in suicide.

That's not me pretending to be better than people.

The days of comissioned masterpieces, what brought about the great art of history, that's gone.

That's me being broken without what I've loved since I was a kid.

@RyeNorth its moved into furry porn

Not being able to do something for a living =! Being without it

Okay, well.

Who gives a shit.

I'll do it until I die of hunger. Happy?

Continuing to wait for society to change to one where Artists are able to thrive is reckless, though. That day's gone. You need a new strategy.

I don't think most people realize how draining something like retail is for an artist.

Coming home, having your own personality beaten out of you for the entire day. Limp arms and legs.

But 8 hours until you sleep.

No intention to spend that on art all of a sudden.

It happens.

And outsiders consider this trial to be completely imaginary.

And all you can do is insist it isn't.

That steep cost, for something that doesn't even pay a living wage.

Are you fucking kidding.

Scrib, you checked out the furry space for your art? Don't need to do the porn but you can get some shekels from fursona's if your anthro work is any good.

I'm sorry, that isn't an artist problem, that's a YOU problem.

Wow, speak of the devil and he appears.

```And outsiders consider this trial to be completely imaginary.

Well I have to insist.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

He's not *entirely* wrong, though.

You keep cornering it off to retail work.

Okay let's say it's purely a me problem.

There are other options at play.

Like yours, which you won't disclose?

You may think that's rare.

I worked door to door and still worked on my art. I had a much shittier job and still kept up with my art.

But no one gets into the particulars about a better option

Everyone keeps their shit super secret for some reason.

Because they don't want to dox themselves

That's so stupid.

Wut

Doxing is disclosing location and identity.

Do you know how easy it is to find people?

How is it impossible to get into the specifics of how a job works.

Just avoid proper nouns.
