School Update..!

My future self sustained career as an online teacher of the arts is near its official beginning! I aim to be an accessible, welcoming, patient and encouraging art teacher that tries to make a positive and constructive difference in everyone’s perception of the world and how to express themselves with art at any skill level.

If you’d like to get in on my public art school discord (18+ only) follow the link here! It will be an evolving work in progress that develops over these next years as I teach myself how to teach you, anyone and everyone!

Posting public edited videos summarizing any important topics i cover will be a future instalment of this school since it will demand time and money I cant afford until later.

All this said, Im still figuring out how to accept financial support for the work I do every day while dedicating myself to improving as an artist and teacher. I never want to instate paywalls or subscriptions. I would like to thank supporters without pressuring those who don’t donate. It’s tricky to balance the idea of a sustainable reward (that doesn’t add on extra work capable of burning me out) for supporters while avoiding any residual FOMO for everyone else. For now, you can generously support my work with a donation on PayPal, as i’m indefinitely working a part time job for a minimum keyholder wage and will have no other alternate source of income for the foreseeable future, debts biting at my heels.

Yet if you do find yourself with money to spare today, here are two causes that are important to me that are in need of support. Additional research and vocal support around peers and public for either cause can make just as much of a difference as a small donation. Due to the world state I feel heavy asking for money without bringing some attention to these important causes that could use your support as well:

E Sims for Gaza is in need of donations and the foundation as a whole supports worldwide communication through different humanitarian conflicts. They’re working to keep Palestinian voices heard amongst the unimaginable atrocities they’re facing daily.

Also due to the long coming but dramatic and recent shift in our governments’ interests in our internet access and privacy, Wikipedia has been keeping the largest database of human knowledge free of commercialization and accessible to all. They can make use of support no matter how small to keep that keystone of human knowledge alive and growing.

Thank you for reading, thank you for your time. I hope we can look to the future one day and smile. For now find some comfort in letting yourself make art and work to find your unique form of creative expression. to bring out what you want to see and make it tangible. and maybe let me help you along the way..!

im not kidding when I say the people who look at me with genuine concern in their eyes when they ask if im “worried about ai art” would turn around and would use something this uncanny for a business posting

My online art school is nearing its first official phase of starting up. After spending the year thinking on different approaches to subjects i myself may not be familar with I’ve settled on running the school more improvisationaly and answering art questions specifically requested by the community. In the future (as i want to make this project long term, something i spend my future on perfecting) i want to have a proper syllabus crafted with rotating subjects I could teach and adjust with time.

Teaching art is a big undertaking, I guess! But one I’m determined to dedicate myself to and follow through on with a realistic and achieveable structure for myself while also creating a consistent flow of lessons and advice and streams. At the moment I plan to stream at least *once a week* with prepared art questions on the art school discord. Youtube video archives are in the stars but not achieveable until I find myself affordable and functional video editing software.

All this said, Ive found myself at a roadblock and in financial need. I’ve spent the past year working part time for minimum wage and have still been unable to get on top of the debts that built up during my years spent unemployed and working on my mental health. My headphones broke last night after years of daily use. The recording setup I have been working on for this is near-perfection, just in need of some considerable technical work. (i have to HACK a camera! woo!) and I REALLY want to get things going before the end of the year when this is an idea I have been working on since this spring.

If you find yourself able to support me and my future aspirations to teach art in a free, accessible and encouraging environment, please consider doing so here:

If you’re interested in the art school, check it out on Discord! I hope to see it flourishing over the course of 2025!
