love when people have 0 photography in their portfolio and they tell me to go check their portfolio for their non-existent photography experience.

I don't even need professional experience or a degree on a resume. I want to see the work.

The job market is so fucked up for people to act like this.

It's a photographer position btw.
every time i have the words "product" or "design" in a job listing i get flooded with confused programmers talking about their ux design skills and how they love to ship product.

We make craft kits, weirdos. I hire graphic designers and photographers. wtf?

Why apply for a job that you do not want? Why suggest ai as a solution for the position that you haven't researched in any way?

I was following up on job applicants, trying to be kind and ask for their portfolios.

Dude has no interest in the job.
why do ux designers apply for non-ux design jobs?

my glaze is sloppy af. learning a lot about how those 3 coats are so important. and how the firing range at this studio is likely impacting results A LOT.

The light pink turned out weird. Like it rejected the clear glaze I did after the underglaze firing and is weirdly rough and a little pearl-ish.

My first usable mug from my
pottery class. I'm so excited to learn wheel techniques next semester. "semester" (i am not in school -- it's such a low key class after work).

Mad props to my husband for shuffling schedules with me so I can do silly shit like make stuff with clay.

A vibrant little cloud scene with a yellow bear head at the bottom emiting a delightful rainbow to the sky. Surrounded by sparkles, strawberries, music notes, and raindrops. The bear's little tongue is sticking out.

I drew this a while ago. Returning to drawing for me when I have the capacity.

To all the therapists listed on psychology today or headway, why the hell are tou listed if you don't respond to the contact form emails?

It's so hard to find a therapist and being able to fill in the form is half the damn battle.

Being ghosted blows.

I'm just a small artist trying to sell my art and merchandise. For me, the best part about being an artist is making people happy.

Tariffs and customs are not my expertise. Please add any notes or corrections. I've been trying my best to research.

I just want more awareness for a push back ๐Ÿ”ธ(4/4)

I'm not alone. This goes beyond the art community. Even prices on personal purchases from another country for clothing, collectibles, skincare and EVERYTHING could drastically increase just to get it through customs. Tariff increases has affected us for months, but this makes it much worse! ๐Ÿ”ธ(3/4)

I CAN'T OPEN MY STORE RIGHT NOW.

I'm not alone. This affects all international artists running their small shops around the world. 90% of my sales are to the US.

I'm not alone. EVEN artists in the US will feel it as they rely on purchasing merchandise from abroad. Prices will have to rise.๐Ÿ”ธ(2/4)

I'm scared that a huge issue is not being aware:
On Aug 29th the US is removing the de minimis rule on all packages. Being international, de minimis meant no one payed tariffs on my goods since it was under $800. Now there will be a $80-200 fee to receive my art. Even for a $5 sticker. ๐Ÿ”ธ(1/4)

I really needed to smash things this weekend.
I completed that hole digging game and now I can just dig the entire level of this banana finding game.
