even though this is the worst time to be an artist on the internet, there are still "clever" people who will find new and exciting ways of kicking you while you're down. It's just been real rough. I'm not sure if I can keep doing art.

I truly treasure all the pieces I have purchased from you. I have you art all over my workspace and find much interest and solace in your creations. I also treasure your handwritten notes and have kept all. Thank you for making your art

Before I read that stupid sarcasm comment my first thought upon seeing your post was your art just keeps getting better and better and I’m stoked you’re sharing it with us. It truly brings me joy to see it. Please don’t let the trolls get under your skin.

Man, forget the haters. What does that comment even mean? I just put in an order for that Fairy Tale print and some others. Don't you dare stop. 😎

Your stuff is the best! I own some! I'm also an artist and yeah, it's rough but think about how sad your soul would be if you stopped! Art made by humans will always be superior. Keep creating and fuck the haters!

I have no idea what they might be getting at, so it probably is just trying to psychologically "kick" someone. They are just slinging their pain out into the void hoping that if it sticks to somebody they will feel less pain. Admittedly though, all of the animals look incredibly tired and I cannot tell if that is intentional. Bold lines and dark patches around half lidded eyes is often used to suggest exhaustion. Narwhal looks annoyed.

Don’t let an idiot dull your sparkle. Some of us look forward to seeing your new art. Be unapologetically you!!!!!

Don't let that person get to you, it's a new account with like 4 points, so probably just some sad troll with nothing better to do. SO many people here, myself included, love your art. It's so unique and not like anything else I've seen! My mom always brags to her friends that I "know an artist" because she saw the jigsaw puzzle of yours that I did and I showed her all the goodies you sent with it lol. You make beautiful, creative work that makes people happy and you should be so proud. <3

May your critics end up sleeping with the fishes.

A bunch of people only exist to be the negative example the rest of humanity is supposed to stand against. That chucklefuck seems like one of those. Don't ever sweat the haters. And I agree with Doismellbacon thank you for taking the time to share your art with us.

I’m fckn proud to have your art, man. As soon as I discovered you I ordered a print off Etsy. You’re one of the coolest artists I know because you’re so accessible and I’d recognize your art anywhere (and it’s dope). Please don’t stop making it!
TheMentallyillist
Your art is incredible. I get lost in so much of it. They are like dreams from my childhood and I find them nostalgic and comforting for reasons I’m not sure I understand. I hope you never stop making and sharing your talent and creativity with the world. I’m really sorry it’s been tough lately. That will change. Your art is brilliant.

OP I've always appreciated your art and loved catching it on here. I think it'll be really sad if you aren't able to keep going with it. I understand if that's the case, but whatever happens I hope you'll keep going, if only just for yourself and your own creativity.
Is there any way to help support you and your work? Maybe help you make it through a tough time?
Doismellbacon
Check out @OP on Etsy! You'll be amazed by what you receive when you order!!

I look forward to starting my day with a little bit of your calming art. Thank you for sharing.
Doismellbacon
Love your art and that you share it with us. This one is an especially cool vibe.
DaveSamsonite
@op I like it a lot. I'm an amateur watercolor. I just myself. Your drawing skills are great. I recognize the animals, but who are some of the human faces?

Thank you so much

Not even a real account. It’s a troll account that was made less than a week ago

thank you so much. It's just been a rough rough time, lately.

1) I feel like I've been seeing a bunch of random accounts lately. Usernames of all the ones I've noticed are a weird, meaningless jumble of letters and numbers, and they pop in on posts making either weird comments that don't always make sense on the posts.
The weirdest thing is that I've seen a few cases where their comment are made on posts days after the posts were made, but somehow have gotten points. Been upvoted to around 8 or 9 points.
I wonder if someone is doing some sort of trial

2) with A.I. accounts or creating a new upvote/downvote brigade with a bunch of burners.
Doismellbacon
Fair point, feels sloppy

Plus there were all of those spam links this morning, at least a half dozen accounts all copying and pasting the same stuff
