People who reblog art posts: I love you.

People who reblog art posts with detailed commentary in the tags, speculating or highlighting what they liked: I hope you find random $20 bills in your laundry pockets for the rest of your lives, and that they always have your favorite ice cream flavor in stock, and that strangers are always kind. I hope babies smile at you in checkout lines and fluffy animals befriend you for pats. I hope it always stops pouring right as you need to run outside, and your bank account never overdraws. I hope you die smiling in your sleep at a ripe old age with a hundred people at your funeral singing your praises of a life well lived. 

hm, someday i'll be good at backgrounds

If you’ve ever wondered how reposting hurts artists- yesterday I found a post from 2012ish featuring one of my Sherlock/Doctor Who pieces. That post had 17,604 notes. It wasn’t my post. My post of that art had 0 notes.

Apparently I saw the post once when it was at 6k because an artist I admired reblogged it, but at that stage I was very unwell & not experienced enough with Tumblr to realise what effect it might have.

Looking through the notes now I see that in the six years since then-

Several people got the design as a tattoo.

A number liked it enough to want custom designs but didn’t know how to contact me so that’s approximately £300 I didn’t get a chance to earn.

Someone used that art in the front cover of a comic by accident and while the company fixed it after I contacted them that’s exposure that it’s far too late to capitalise on now.

If you like an artwork that you find off tumblr, please, please I am begging you search for the artist’s name and see if they do actually have a Tumblr you could reblogged from instead. If you’re an artist search your username(s) every so often to see if your work has been taken.

A few hundred quid might not seem like a lot, but that’s a few months of income for me

had a bunch of unfinished doodles so i figured id pile em together in a silly little doodle dump ! ★ ☆
