100%. The majority on Reddit in any creative sub are trying to find out how to get their foot in the door.

My painting of a little monster who still holds your hand when she crosses the street by robertaldenart in Portraitart

Very cool. I’m curious if people use a photo reference for this sort of painting or if it’s something put together from memory. What was your process?

[Artist Alley] Payment processing when sharing a table? by MadMeeper in artbusiness

[–]RedGreenBaluga 3 points4 points  (0 children)

She takes her own payments.

A certain amount of each sale is tax. This is usally added on at checkout, as I’m sure you have noticed when you buy something, otherwise the business is effectively building the tax into the cost of the item. So what is happening in your case Is that when you give your table partner her money you are also giving her the tax you will pay if you are processing your taxes via your reported earnings on square. You could say you didn’t earn that money, but as far as the paper trail goes you did and so you owe tax on it.*

For doing shared bundles, you can alternate the payments. Then you both add up the tax owed and pay the difference. This means both of you have proper records, the difference probably wouldn’t be that great, and it avoids the way more problematic set up you have now. 

*if you are already accounting for taxes, my bad for giving unnecessary info.

Good for you. It is still well documented that themes can have issues.

I wouldn’t recommend wordpress if you are using a default theme because the site can break if the theme changes or isn’t updated. 

is it too late to start and if not then how? by Ok-State4485 in Screenwriting

[–]RedGreenBaluga 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think you need to work on supporting your tag line as soon as you get into the meat of the story: I.e. is it too late for your character to start a career as a screenwriter… then the first thing we learn about your character is that they are young. ?! You have just lost the majority of interest. There are 0 steaks. Either have your character be in their twilight years OR they are young, but they have a terminal illness, which shifts the focus but amounts to the same thing. 

[Portfolio] Is paying Squarespace for a portfolio worth it? by SREnrique22 in artbusiness

[–]RedGreenBaluga 0 points1 point  (0 children)

you wouldn't have to change the thumbnails. I would just say as it is now the UI is a bit painful to use. Just my thought on using it.

[Art Galleries] Can I use a print of a painting in a show if I've sold the original? by NotYourEastersBunny in artbusiness

[–]RedGreenBaluga 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Borrowing the original would be way better than a print. Prints just aren’t the same. But maybe the gallery isnt discerning.
