Donation Watercolor Postcards (12/01/2016)
I’m so sorry I need to ask for help again. Not only am I struggling to keep up with rent and my general medical bills, but I learned recently that I need to have my gallbladder removed and I do not have enough money to get it done.
I had been experiencing extremely painful gallstone attacks for a few years now, not knowing what they were or why they were happening. I got an ultrasound last month because the attacks became so frequent I thought I was dying. I was shocked to be able to clearly see stones of all sizes in the scans. My doctor told me I need surgery immediately.
If you haven’t known anyone who has gone through this, the severe pain can be described as worse than a heart attack or giving birth to a baby.
If I don’t get it out, my gallbladder could rupture and develop an infection that can be life-threatening. That surgery can easily cost several thousand dollars and I am nowhere near capable of affording it. Which is why I am reaching out to you kind and generous people.
I’ve always felt a sting of guilt whenever someone donates to my paypal. So from now on, I will send postcards to those who use the donate button on my blog or donate to my paypal directly with my email ([email protected]) no matter what the amount is.
Even if you donate $2.50, you will get your own postcard. Not a print, not a digital file, but an original hand painted watercolor postcard.
Those who donate over $45 will be able to request a custom painting on your postcard. All who donate lower than that will receive whatever I decide to paint.
If you are a fan of my artwork and have never been able to afford a commission or items from my shops, this is your chance to add my paintings to your collection. If you can only donate $1, you still get a postcard from me.
Once you donate, please email me your name and address and I’ll get started on your card right away. Your wait should never take longer than a month because I’ve started using these cards as my sketchbook.
Thank you in advance to those who donate or share this post, I appreciate all forms of help!

Another tiny faerie painting for a giveaway winner. I meant to share this last week, but I’ve been a little too sick for the patience to edit the video. Finally finished this morning! Here’s two hours of painting in 4ish minutes!

This is something I sketched on election night. Years from now I’m going to flip through the pages of this sketchbook and stop on this drawing and remember the appalling news of that bigoted pumpkin’s win. As a disabled queer person of color living in this country, I’m terrified. As an artist, I can only hope that the fear and anxiety I’m experiencing will fuel me with the urgency to continue to create art most people see as diverse but I see as normal. I could never imagine Trump or any of his supporters being interested in the work I make. And that makes me very proud.
I hope everyone stays safe for the remainder of this year and the next four. It’s going to be a bumpy road.
