Hi there! Some of you may know me, but for those of you that donât; Iâm Calvin. Iâm a 14 year old latinx queer kid with depression, anxiety, and ADHD.
 Ever since I was 6 years old Iâve been looking for ways to support my family. When I was 11 my mom lost her last stable job and her car. I spent my 12th birthday packing up all of my stuff because I was told we would be evicted by the end of that month. We ended up being evicted that week, and the landlord threw out everything that we had in the apartment. My momâs situation hasnât improved much since then. Since we lost our home, sheâs been couch surfing, sleeping in motels, living with abusers, in and out of hospitals, and more. She recently got a job, but it requires a working laptop, high-speed internet connection, and stability (all of which she has none of). The job also doesnât pay a steady income. My entire lifeâs goal has been to support her.
 Thankfully, I currently live with my dad and his parents in a primarily afro-latinx community where a lot of things have been going down. I want to show my support, but due to extreme anxiety, frequent episodes of dissociation, and intense bouts of sensory overload that are all triggered easily by being in a group of more than 10 people, I canât go out and protest. (Living with immigrant grandparents with weak immune systems is also another reason why itâd be a horrible idea for me to go out right now). I really really want to donate to organizations and funds and people, but I have very little money.
 All I could think for the past 4 years has been âHow can I save money? How can I make it so my parents donât have to spend money on me? How can I make money for myself so I donât have to rely on them?â
 So Iâm opening up two types of commissions.Â
First ones are $10 dollar pride icons supporting Queer/LGBT+ POC!
[Image Description: A 900 x 900 square icon of Crowley from Good Omens. Behind him are the genderfluid and abrosexual flags. â$10 prideconsâ is written on the image. End I.D.]
$10 USD per icon! Iâll draw whatever character you want in front of whatever flags you want. One character per icon, fully lined and cell shaded, with as many flags as you want. There are two ways to pay;
1) Donate $10 dollars to an organization of your choice supporting queer/lgbt+ black people, associated with the BLM movement, or right to the paypals/venmos/cashapps/etc of black people. Send me screenshots of proof for the receipts.
2) Send the money to my cashapp ($calculatormenace) and Iâll donate the money for you (I can provide screenshots of proof if needed). If you donât have a specific place you want me to donate to, I will be donating the money to The Center for Black Equity (x), the Atlanta Homeless Black Trans women fund (x), Miss Majorâs Monthly Fundraising Circle (x), the Black Trans Travel Fund (x), New Alternatives (x), the Transgender Law Center (x), the LGBTQ Freedom Fund Network (x), the Black Trans Fund (x), and various women who have shared their cashapps on this page (x).
If you are interested in commissioning me for an icon, feel free to DM me on this account and we can discuss. Payments to me can only be done via Cashapp. If you are paying me directly, I will expect half of the money up front and the other half upon completion. I will donate the money as soon as I can after the second payment.Â
If you use an icon on a social media platform that has the option to put a bio/description, please credit me!
I have the right to deny any commissions.
The other type of commissions go towards my personal finances. The prices are as follows:

A lined bust drawing fully colored with cell shading, a plain background, and texture is about $18. A lined bust drawing that is fully colored and painted with a transparent background is about $21. A lined full body drawing that is fully colored and painted with a transparent background is about $25. A drawing of two fully lined, colored, and painted figures drawn from the hips up in front of a scenic background is about $34. A bust drawing of two fully lined, colored, painted, and cell shaded figures on a plain background is about $39. A full body line art and flat color figure on a plain background is about $18 dollars. A full body line art character that is colored and cell shaded is about $22. A sketch of two full body figures messily colored in with flat colors would be about $14. End I.D.]
Things Iâm comfortable with drawing:Â Original characters, fanart, AUs, ships/couples, mild gore, pride art, real people, groups, memes.Â
Things Iâll draw but am inexperienced in (please be lenient with me): Animals, furries, mecha, complex designs, extreme gore, scenery.
Things I WILL NOT DRAW AT ALL: Sexual content/kink, incest, anything about self harm/suicide, content promoting pedophilia, racism, queerphobia, sexism, ableism, other shitty things like that.
I have the right to deny any commissions.Â
The process will be the following: If you are interested in commissioning me, dm me on this account and we can discuss ideas and prices. I will get half of the money upfront, check in with frequent updates of the art (all in .jpeg form) to make sure itâs what you like, then when itâs finished I will send you the last .jpeg. You will send me the rest of the money, and then Iâll give you the high quality .png. It is then yours to do what you want with it (so long as you credit me properly). If you post it on social media, I will gladly write an image description for no extra cost. All transactions can only be done via Cashapp.
If you donât want to/canât commission, feel free to share this post or give a few dollars to $calculatormenaceÂ
