#i bought a printer a few months ago for my etsy shop and it stopped connecting to wifi after only a few months

I hope there's a special circle in hell for printers when they die

I have been feeling really upset with my artistic career lately. I made an etsy shop 3 months ago and never sold a thing. I tried to sell a bunch of things here for cheap prices but only one person bought, and I am not exactly a success on the collective events. I also didn't get any commissions since like last year and I don't feel motivated at all to be a illustrator anymore. I want to be part of gallery events, and produce new amazing stuff but I don't have the money to support it anymore. I really wanted to make it work, and I have been trying for the last 5 years with very little success. Saying to me "oh, beautiful art" is not going to be enough support anymore. I live a very humble life, with very few resources. I often have to choose if I buy a pen I need or a shampoo. And I am not talking about fancy stuff, but basic ones. In general I appreciate being simple, but sometimes I feel sad, because I wanted to buy stuff from my fellow artists, or even get a printer. That being said, I threw out a bunch of crappy art I had and made some original bundles with the remaining. Each bundle for 50$, free shipping worldwide! This is my last try. I am tired, and sad, and very blocked. If nothing sells, I will stop trying and art will be only a hobby from now on. I don't want to feel disappointed with my art ever again. My heart aches but I do not see any other way. For more info, DM! #artistscommunity #illustration #ilustracao #desenho #drawing #lowbrow #popsurrealism #dibujo #dessin #artistsofinstagram
