This is where I might get backlash.
This is my art!
As in I digitally painted it and edited it on Canva.
I don't do it anymore because my space to draw whether it be digitally or traditionally is extremely small and overwhelming to try and set up the equipment again.
So I use Canva with its readily available graphics, fonts and photos to be creative in another way. I agreed with my sister the other day that AI art is stealing from artists and I refuse to use AI art in my designs.
Here in lies the dilemma though...I miss my art. I used to draw and digitally paint the weirdest yet coolest things and now that I'm working on being a POD seller, I want to sell merch with MY designs on them. Not just copy and pasted art found in Canva. (The fonts are killer though)
So I have around 10 Canva designs to set up on my store but I think after that I'm going to try and find a way to draw again.
I wanted to be honest with people about the new items in my store.
But I want my designs to be 80-100% mine not just 50%.
I'm going to work on being a better artist one day. I hope you guys support me in that and help buy some logo merch to help me afford a new art program and tools.
It is amazing how stunning someone's art can be if you invest in the mid stuff first.
A lot of us are waiting to pay bills or save up to buy more materials or programs with the money you send us when you buy something.
If you're against my Canva designs but still want to support me, I make jewelry! All Handmade by me 🩵
