That's the dream?

Well...it may be for some, and for some not so much. But for me...yes, it's one of my dreams I would LOVE to be able to see!!! I've been creating art for a very, very long time. First art piece I could remember was when I was 6yrs old. But I started drawing digitally with a ball mouse, ms paint, and a old computer. I've seen the history of art only being posted online or shared among friends, to full blown artist alleys, conventions, and flea markets/craft fairs allowing artists to sell their works there too! The more accessible it became, the more I wanted to do that! I want to sell stickers, art prints, and shirts! But I want to make it all myself, not to leave it up to some shady company who takes more of a cut then the artist does. Sure, they do about 3/4s of the share, but when does a $20 shirt end up only being $2 for the artist? Without the art and the artists, there'd be no company. (excluding those who primarily deal with actual companies.)

So, by the end of 2025, I want to be selling my own stickers, prints, and shirts! I cannot do it alone. Please, help spread the word of my art. Help me grow so I can make my dream come true!!!
