Art, Etsy & Life update

Money isn't moneying (especially as my sweet little Lux had to go to the vet TWICE recently, I'm so grateful that he is fine now ❤️ but my money situation is not D: ) and life isn't lifeying (I had severe burnout at work 2,5 years ago, and the crawl back has been slow... I am back at feeling okay again but I do feel very off-kilter at getting back on track. I want to go on adventures so bad but it's like depression has me in a constant paralyzed state and I don't know how to get out of it.

Goodest boy:

I've recently opened an Etsy shop and I'm so excited and proud of myself! :D (Please go check out Lumos0LuxTattoos) For now, I only have art prints for sale. I would love to have charms and keychains etc, but sadly, I apparently live in Narnia... I've tried to convert my art into merch with the help of Vograce but I just live in a weird place in the middle of the ocean that no one knows about or ships to.

Do any of you have any tips of art-to-merch sites that deliver to weird places on the map? (I don't completely want to say, but I am in Europe. Just looking for general recommendations). The tip would be highly appreciated!

I make cute art like these:

And character art, like so:

My current dream is to be a tattoo artist, for that I am mostly fascinated by geometric designs:

But cute and or creepy-cute art would also be so fun to tattoo!

I don't really know where to start. Even though I love living where I live, it is also way to small. Shipping is a nightmare apparently, I have very limited options and chances to get an apprenticeship and so many more things. This is a bit of a ramble post, so sorry!! I am slowly panicking but I'm going to try and keep a positive look on things.

First thing first is to spread word about my Etsy shop, get some money. Save up to become a piercer, start working as a piercer, sell more Etsy-art. Get more money. Buy a van, build that out, move somewhere. Get an apprenticeship. Be a tattoo artist!!

Something like that.

(Also finish my bachelor's degree that I don't really care for, but I have been struggling with it so much and it is nearly done so I guess I have to finish it)
