[artbylittlebug]

I have added a subscription option to my Instagram page for $2 a month! I currently work full-time in retail and would love to eventually (hopefully) reduce my work hours to focus on creating art. The only way i could do this is to try and earn income through my art. If you’re interested in supporting me in my art, what would you like to see more of? Please share your thoughts and suggestions 🙏 My art is my purpose and passion in life and i hope it brings joy and meaning to you all.

Some subscription content ideas i have thought of:

✦ weekly Q&A series

✦ weekly live stream hang outs

✦ PDF copy of my memoir on request after 3 months of being a subscriber

✦ consent to use my art for tattoos

✦ sharing my drawing process and how i come up with ideas etc.

✦ printables (calendars, note paper, original file of my art to print for personal use)

i am so depressed 🙃

& really friggin lonely ＿|￣|○

i haven’t even really been enjoying drawing lately and kinda just wanna recluse from posting on social media entirely and try to throw myself into some other hobby like reading or gaming.

i moved to a new place in january to be closer to my parents but now i don’t even know if it was the right decision. there are seemingly no gay people here and i knew it would be this way before moving here but it still really sucks to live in the reality of it now. but i was depressed where i lived before anyway.

i’m sick of feeling this way since i was like 10 years old. sure i have improved in some ways, but every day is still so hard and i feel like giving up a lot. i know a lot of people are probably in similar situations to me. i have no close friends here, just my mum. which is more than some people have and i know i’m so lucky in so many ways.

life really sucks ʅ（◞‿◟）ʃ

i don't know if you'll ever see this, but I wish you a good couple of years. I've been a fan for a long time, since when I was in a dark time my friend would send me your art and it felt (and still feels) so genuine. I felt understood by an artist, like someone saw me and went "hey things aren't ok but they're going to be soon"

i want to say a genuine thank you for this. I know i'm not the only one who feels this way about your work, but I finally got the courage to let you know how much you've impacted my life in a positive way. i wish you all of your favorite things!! ^^

[TW: i talk about trauma related stuff]

thank you so much （ ; ; ）

i really appreciate you taking the time to write that and i’m so glad that my art has helped you in this way. it means a lot to me to know that as for a very long time i had no sense of purpose besides pleasing men and i thought that all i’m worth is a body for men.

i starting making art while i was still in a relationship with a man and slowly through lots therapy and lots of hardships i allowed myself to be free from that life.

i am always in a battle with my mind and the only thing that keeps me here on earth is medication, my mum and my art. my art is my purpose and to know that it helps so many people (i still can’t believe this) makes me want to keep going.

thank you again for writing me and i hope you’re doing okay lovely. we’ve got this!!!
