Pixel post dividers for everyone! It's not much, but feel free to use them if you'd like. I don't know the ideal size for these, so let me know if they're too tall. I can make them a bit shorter next time.

 🛑 Stop Working for Exposure (Mathematically)

I'm an artist and medical student, and I use art to help me pay some bills.

I built a free, helpful tool because to help prevent other talented creatives from undercharging, as I really see this a lot online.

It's a calculator with a built in reality check

Input your survival costs and expenses

True billable hours

Get the rate you actually need to charge to hit a 20% (or whatever you choose) profit margin.

It generates the rate, a template negotiation email + final invoice.

Plan to keep this tool free, ad-free, and open to everyone.

🔗 Check your math: fairpaycalc.artres.xyz

If the "Thriving Rate" calculation empowers you to double your quote on your next job, please consider hitting the "Buy me a coffee"button. It keeps the server running and the code flowing <3

I am an artist and medical student and creator of Art-Res, a blog where I write and curate art resources. Hopefully you find art that bring

Thank you for all who tried/spread awareness of the tool and also to people who tipped, truly touched by the support and it means the world! <3

Hey! It’s been a while. Have a Qifrey!

Also as a small announcement: I changed my name! The old one started to feel boring to me personally.

when you’re a gay lion and you accidentally tried to introduce your lesbian lioness friend to one of her own exes at a gay bar and she goes into the bathroom and bitches you out for not being able to tell her endlessly rotating cast of girlfriends apart which isn’t really fair because first of all they all keep dyeing their hair different colors and second of all she keeps getting back together with different ones at different times and meanwhile you’ve been “single” for like 8 months but are spending a lot of time with one specific guy who works at your old co-op and were going to excitedly tell her about it tonight but now you’ve ruined the whole subject of dating by trying to introduce her to her own ex at a gay bar (which is a watering hole. because you’re lions.)

I don't use pinterest anymore as the platform is physically impossible to do anything on, including just adding existing pins uploaded by other users to boards. I still get flooded with emails from them over "violations" of community guidelines, but when pressing staff as to why these reports include me if they supposedly have a human flagging each post and only use automation to enforce policy... when I have nothing to do with the uploading of the content, creation of it, etc.; they can't figure out why this keeps happening. I signed up in 2015, and since 2024, I have stopped adding pins to my boards so I can just make my own local image boards with sources and save them to an external drive (I love Obsidian as a program, and markdown is really easy to use, so it's a great way for me to organize ideas). The majority of my boards are private, and therefore no users can see the contents, so other than entirely deleting my account on there, I don't know how else to deal with this.

Oh and all of the violations are on grayscale 3D models that show body topology for stylized characters or famous statues/artworks that show 3D form (mainly of gods and goddesses within the form-fitting peplos.) I have these pinned because it's easier for me to understand form and how fabric drapes over a 3D surface but apparently that's far too obscene for the public eye. I'm tired.
