I'm not sure how well this will do or even what I'm exactly putting here. I feel just so under pressure to make this work. I see others work as hard as I am and make it but I'm struggling to make more than a few hundred dollars by the end of the month. I want to be able to do what I love and survive financially. I know my partner supports me and wants this to grow as much as I do but I feel so guilty that he goes to work to pay for our house and I'm just struggling to make enough to feel like I'm truly contributing.

To be clear art is my life and I'm not trying to make it sound like I'm only in it for the money but I do need to make some.

I just updated my webstore and I hope it does well but I'm worried it might not be enough.

If it would be possible, could I ask for advice, suggestions, feedback on the website, my work, etc. Thank you for anything Tumblr folks might have to offer, especially reading my little rant 💜

So many minis so little time - - Been working on these for a while. These will be available as limited run prints and originals at the Confetti Stage show in Albany. - #gretcheliseart #art #minis #mythology #minimyths #watercolor #artist #artistsoninstagram #illustration https://www.instagram.com/p/CpiHs9ML93K/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Prepping originals to have up for sale and to make prints with. This year I'm dedicating a lot more time to growing myself in terms of selling work and building a team under the @theartdepartmentny . I'm excited for the big changes heading this way. - As far as when and where you can find some of these mini and full-size originals and/ or prints: I'll be heading to Confetti Stage in Albany for their show "She Kills Monsters" at the end of March. Alongside me will be @samantha_kosa selling her pieces, too! We hope to see you there to support not only us but also a great theater company from our own community! #art #artist #artistsoninstagram #minis #sale #shop #artwork #artshop #TheArtDepartmentNY #gretcheliseart #community #communityart #shoplocal https://www.instagram.com/p/CoU8ZssrX75/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Do we think I've grasped the concept of hands yet? Okay, okay, I swear I'll stop with the jokes as captions. They're just so handy! - #okayokayokay #forrealtho #corny #cornyjokes #artist #artistsoninstagram #sketching #sketchbook #sketch #anatomy #anatomydrawing #anatomystudy #anatomyart #gretcheliseart https://www.instagram.com/p/Cnr_8asJZml/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

"Reunited and it feels so good...." I'm finally back to getting my monthly subscription to @scrawlrbox and let me tell you how much I missed it. They are my favorite monthly subscription. • • This is a bit of an older box but still a solid one. This one was from May featuring @posca_usa colored pencils, @derwentartofficial fine liners, @pearlburnish liquid white pencil. The prompt was "secret garden" and I decided to do some slightly macabre art featuring mushrooms growing from a cat skull. (No kitties were harmed of course, source was reference imagery found online). Prints available link in bio! • • #art #artchallenge #scrawlrbox #scrawlrchallenge #scrawlrboxchallenge #coloredpencils #posca #derwent #artbusiness #artshop #artist #artistsoninstagram (at Gretcheliseart) https://www.instagram.com/p/CUKsi0zLoSC/?utm_medium=tumblr
