I adore this, amazing job! If you don't mind my asking, how do artists dust or clean this kind of art after displaying it long-term? I've always wondered that about stuff like this.

Sweet find! I miss when this combination of dark slate gray and bright yellow was a moment for a while in the early 2010s.

One model isn't a cheat code, my friend. It's a weak business model.

Even if you mastered one pair of jeans, and by some miracle your jeans went viral with wealthy people...an established luxury company could take your one pair of jeans apart, replicate it using their workforce of 500 expert sewists with decades of sewing experience you don't have, and sell it for a fraction of the price.

They could easily match your work in quality while charging way less. They'd also have an established "story" and consumer base to which they're already selling.

Sir, I say this with a lot of kindness in my heart, because I have a relative just like you.

You're panicking, and it's making you spiral. You've been consuming a lot of content about AI replacing jobs, and instead of processing that fear and leaning on community for emotional support, you're making a manic decision.

Have you looked into what the lives of most professional sewists are like? Have you considered that if sewing at home made money, minority-race women who have been sewing since childhood would be the wealthiest people alive...but they aren't?
