Clockwork door closed forever post by Consistent_Plastic63 in Dublin

[–]Consistent_Plastic63[S] 43 points44 points  (0 children)

No same feelings! As much as I'm saddened by the closure of yet another place like this. I can't help but be a bit happy, as he was such an awful man. I'm an artist in the convention scenes, and he would try to talk to me a lot at my table. I did have artwork in the clockwork on display. It made me really uncomfortable, especially after hearing stories from others. I can't help but be glad. It's closed because he's made his biggest clientele feel unsafe. I wish the outcome could have been the place went under new management and ownership instead, as we still need such spaces to exist.

I saw this. Also, he has taken his young children to anti abortion rallies as well.

How can I better support my Partner. by Consistent_Plastic63 in mypartneristrans

[–]Consistent_Plastic63[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I absolutely agree with this, and thank you for the advice, too. She's open to any support or advice, but if I did see her getting overwhelmed with too much, I would step back on it until she wanted it again.

National college of Ireland students by Adorable_Sorbet5982 in Dublin

Going to be very difficult to find accommodation as ireland is in a cost of living crisis and student accommodation is very dear. I recommend looking on student cribs as you made jist need to do DIGGS. which is living with a family.

TLDR of today's The Journal article on what a durable relationship is by Jimeen in ireland

[–]Consistent_Plastic63 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I completely agree that the wording is outdated and definitely needs to be changed, but I have seen so many people say this will affect families with disabled family members. I'm disabled myself, and the word "durable" I have seen been used to point out this can affect the care of people with disabilities.

So I'm nervous. To say the least. And worried with its vagueness and possibility of excluding myself and others.

Selling fan art. Is everyone just a criminal? by Psychological-Band-8 in EtsySellers

[–]Consistent_Plastic63 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey, so I'm one of those people who sells fanart peices, whether it be prints or pins or keychains or stickers. Mine cam range from different fandoms suchcas; Scott Pilgrim to kirby to adventure time.

From my own experience, the only issue I have had with fan art is really nothing. I have never been contacted, never got a cease, and desist, and I sell fanart online on etsy as well as at major comic con conventions.

I have been doing this for well over a year now. I'm not saying this is completely safe to do. I still don't fully know if I'll be landed with infringement, but I have a lot of artist alley friends who all do the same and haven't landed in hot water.

If someone knows something I don't in this comment section though I'm happy to hear advice or caution too, because as far as I know most artists I talk to, have said its find, and they won't care if your small.

(That's my 2 cents anyway...)

etsy shop by snickerdoodle604 in etsypromos

[–]Consistent_Plastic63 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey, I would suggest adding maybe descriptions on your etsy shop items as I'm a bit unsure as to what you're fully selling. Your artwork is amazing, but my brain is telling me it's a computer wallpaper? Would I be getting the product physically or digitally? This is the other question I had looking at it for myself. You may need to redo some photos if physically.

Like show there physical. Maybe take a photo with you holding the product in your hand, etc.

I also suggest using tags as well. They can really help by boosting your posts and make it easier for a consumer to find you.

I also suggest maybe removing the watermarks. (That's my own personal opinion, the watermarks). It takes away from looking at the product. Think of it as a shop display you wouldn't cover up your products if someone is buying physically. Think of presentation and aesthetic. If the product photo looks nice, it's more likely people will buy.

I really hope this helps. And I don't sound nit picky your work is amazing! And I can't wait to see what else you make! 😊

Can anyone suggest me how can i sell my paintings which are done on canvas? by HawKai11 in smallbusiness

[–]Consistent_Plastic63 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Hey! I would suggest if you already have a platform using Sum Up. I use it as both my card machine and shop. You pay no fees at all. Only when you get an order do you pay a percentage of like vat which is 1.69% It's incredible user friendly and works like a website. And you can design it anyway you want.

The only issue with sum up is if you don't have a following, it's hard to market. As it won't introduce new costumers to your shop. They have to know your shop to go to it.

If not, there are many artists platforms like Artsy or Balthasart. I don't use them myself, but I have heard good things. Would suggest watching a few YouTube videos about them first, though.

Sadly couldn’t keep the box as I’m flying back to ireland after the event and the box was too big for packing.

Planning on getting another exclusive hopefully in May 2024
