Ok. It feels callous... actually everything feels callous. Feeling hungry feels callous. But I need to pull together the other $600 for my mom's cremation today. I have a meeting with the funeral director tomorrow. I also have a landlord that keeps acting like my mother is dying/died is a "my dog ate my homework" level excuse for being unable to pay rent on time. I still owe $3500 and my mom's SSI won't be able to help with rent or food because it's not coming. I'm halfway through the month so I should try to get next month together as well so I can approximate something akin to Shiva when her ashes return in about 2 weeks. I ultimately if I'm going to keep being an artist, I will need money to buy a new scanner and computer and paint brushes. Amazon never did deliver the wishlist gifts. Oh and food. I'm going to need food.
I shut down Etsy because it's awful but I can still sell and ship paintings.
While donations are appreciated, I'm really only asking that followers whom are able buy some art. Prices begin at $65 for a 5"x 7" piece on paper, including shipping all the way up to $2700 for a wired and ready to hang 30"x 40" wood panel.
The kind words and financial support from my community on Tumblr is all I really have. My family is gone now that my mom is gone. My friendships withered over the years because no one understood what I was going through and they didn't want to be contaminated by my misfortunes and misery.
