I randomly followed and supported from a local summer q***r artist market. Like, if a market I'm involved with has a whole list of artists/makers ...I follow the whole list. It's been my mission to support and help fellow artists and creatives MAKE IT in this sick greedy world where art is shamed and looked down on as something for the poor and not a "REAL" job. Usually I get some follow backs but usually I don't 🥹. We never met in person for awhile but somehow I was aggressively supporting and sharing her events in my stories. I went to attend one of her artist receptions at Centro Cultural Mexicano in Redmond. It was packed and amazing. I had commissioned some sticker designs from her for my shop (rolling out soon in Jan 2026). We haven't really sat down to talk with each other in person until yesterday! To have space and share a conversation about our struggles and dreams was such a magical day! We both love to share vulnerable and authentic posts on our IGs so having like-minded souls just having an organic exchange and reciprocation of thoughts and ideas was so motivating and inspiring. This Mercury Retrograde season has been very blessed so far! Please support and her work!
