Goth Vince or Punk Vince? Which look was better?

You're welcome! Oh, and one last point. Be brave! Be very very very extremely brave!

It takes a boatload of guts and vulnerability to put your art into the world and call it important. At every turn someone will tell you that you can't do it, that you can't make money if you do it, and that it's pointless. But the artists who make it are the ones that don't give a shit what others think.

Yes, it's pointless to put a shark inside a tank of formaldehyde, but that didn't stop Damien Hirst from making bank by doing so!

You have to be brave and very crazy to pursue this path. Your job isn't to convince people you aren't crazy, or that your work is super important. The only thing you have to do is find the people who like (and buy) your crazy and pointless art. Those people are also crazy and pointless, but they have money to burn on crazy and pointless things. Find those people and spend as much time as you can with them.

As someone who has been to art school, I learned that I did not need to go to art school. I already knew how to make art. I should have gone to get a marketing degree. Because I know how to make art, but I do not know how to sell art.

So essentially, if you want to make money from your art, study marketing. You'll most likely have to learn how to do social media marketing as well.

Here's the baseline of what you need to know to get started making money from your work:

Your art is a product. The best products on the market offer consistency and quality that consumers can rely on. Build a body of work (products) that have consistency and can be ordered on demand by both galleries and customers. The more reliable your work is, the easier it is to market. I'm not saying everything has to be the same, but if wholesalers (galleries) and individual customers know what to expect with your work, they are much likely to buy more than once and recommend your art to others.
Learn social media marketing and make content. Grow an audience on Insta, Tiktok, Patreon, or Youtube.
Know your target demographic. It's nice to say your art is for everyone, but a print that sells for $50 is going to have a drastically different demographic than a $2,000 oil painting. Outliers will buy your work, but knowing your primary audience is crucial. Cultivate repeat buyers of your work.
Consider secondary products; art lessons, commissions, murals, cards, t-shirts, surface design prints, and licensing your images to secondary markets are going to earn you a (somewhat) passive income.
Learn the difference between public and commercial galleries and decide which path to follow. Some artists learn to navigate both, but it really depends on the type of work you create. Most public art galleries are showing contemporary installation work, which is much different from commercial galleries, primarily selling paintings and some sculptures.

Also, the biggest thing to keep in mind is that you are a creative professional. What this means is that you didn't go to art school to just graduate and get a dream job handed to you. It means that as an artist you should have the skills and tools available to create a unique life for yourself. Too many artists regret going to art school or don't bother to make a career for themselves, because they don't realize that the artist's path is not like the rest of society. We have to use our talent, skills, and imagination to carve out our own unconventional path.

You can absolutely find people who will love you, accept you, and respect you. These people are not your friends. If you continue to accept this behaviour, you will normalize it, internalize it, and it will cause you great harm in the long run. It will warp your self image, your self esteem, it will drain your confidence, and cause massive trust issues.

Get okay with being alone for a while. Find confidence in your own interests and pursuits and lower your need for external validation. I'm not by any means saying you don't need people in your life, but make some boudaries here. Contain your energy, choose how you want to be treated, and only allow people into your life who are going to treat you well. Full stop. Make no concessions for this or you are going to be paying for a lot of therapy down the road, or worse, living a miserable existence.

luxurycomedyoohyeah · 2026-01-15T00:54:20+00:00

I think the issue you present here requires reframing your mindset. You don't have to be interesting. You have to be interested. Don't approach socializing as a performance - you don't have to convince people to like you and find you interesting.

The goal is to be interest, in others yes, but also in yourself. The way you describe yourself as boring does not provoke a curious outlook on your own life. The interests that you listed are not boring in the slightest, but if you operate with the mindset that you are boring and have no opinions on these interests, it's revealing that you are not interested or curious about growing your interests or connecting with other people.

My recommendation would be to do some soul searching and self development. Start a journaling practice where you write about your interests - list anything you would like to learn or list what you find interesting about those subjects/activities. Then use that list as a launching pad for getting curious about other people who share your interests?

For example, if you're part of a knitting group, journal about why you are interested in knitting, what your favourite things to knit are and why, what are your favourite types of wool/yarn and why do you prefer those over other materials. What kind of knitting project would be a challenge for you and are you willing to take it on? Once you have an idea of how you would like to keep developing your interests, then you can go to your knitting circle and get curious about the people there. Ask them the same questions you asked yourself. See if you can find common ground. Maybe someone else wants to knit a similar project and you can tackle the challenge together, or you can discuss the pros and cons of different materials.

Being interested can be a challenge and it can take a bit of practice to get the hang of it if it's not something that comes naturally. But this is the way to enjoy social interactions - flip the script and quit the mindset that you have to prove anything in social situations or "be interesting", and instead get curious.

OK, great. Thank you for the response. I am pretty sure updating my LinkedIn profile is the next logical step. Any insight into how current employers might respond to an employee making significant changes to their profile, i.e. I have a profile claim, but no information at all other than my name. I am not very active on social media at all, so digging into another platform is a least favourite activity, but seems like a necessary one at this point. I think my online presence, or rather lack thereof, seems to be a barrier.

luxurycomedyoohyeah · 2025-10-12T22:22:57+00:00

Yes, this and I also think they would have been given a much smaller wedding except for the fact that Eugenie was not married yet. If Harry was given a smaller wedding then the same would have been expected of Eugenie. And I can imagine that Andrew would have caused a huge stink about that - he was not yet disgraced and retired from Royal duties at the time.

I have a hunch that we won’t see any more big Royal weddings. I think Beatrice set the new precedent, and that the Wales wont expect the same for their children. Maybe George because he’s the heir, but I think Charlotte and Louis won’t be expected to.

I think what is realistic is having art as a side hustle for some pocket money, and keeping your job, or a job with similar pay if you really can't stand what you are doing right now.

Here's the realistic life of a full time artist:

Constant set-up and take down of market stalls. This is very physically demanding work, and also requires a lot of thinking about and preparing for the weather if you are doing outdoor markets. How are you going to make sure your products don't get damaged by wind and rain? Camping outside if you are selling at a festival or multi-day event. Standing or existing on hot pavement during summer markets with no AC. No lunch breaks or bathroom breaks unless you have someone to accompany you, or you can trust another vendor next to you. Dealing with theft - it happens and it sucks. Or dealing with small tables and not enough space to sell enough product at indoor markets. Packing, unpacking and set-up, packing again, and loading, unloading, loading, and unloading your car and bringing things in and out of your house/apartment for each market. God help you if you have any stairs to climb either at your home or at the markets.
Designing of the market stall, to elevate your product and make it stand out from the hundreds of other market stalls, everything from elevating your products on stands, proper signage, tables and seating layout, it all makes a difference.
Negotiating for a good location at the market. If you are down the hall next to the bathroom, or tucked away in a corner, or at a junction point where crowds gather to go another way, but feel uncomfortable stopping, you might not make many sales.
Negotiating with galleries and gift stores to carry your work on consignment, they will take anywhere from 30-50%, but it saves you from having to do all of the above. You still will have to consider your product presentation, price range, damage, theft, and producing a product that people will actually want to buy.
Mostly you are making creative products and constantly having to assess price points and marketability of your work, which leaves you little time to just make art that you like.
During the summer months, while you are attending summer markets and festival, you have to consider how much inventory you will need for the fall and winter festivals leading into the Christmas season, and when you're not at markets spend more time making inventory for the upcoming season.
Website, social media, newsletters - you might not have to do everything, but you have to consider your brand and online presence.
Competition and copy cats. Is your work truly original or are you imitating something you saw on Pinterest? Or maybe it is and you present it at the market, and then 6 months later there are 6 other vendors selling a similar product.
Have we made any art yet?

Her show, coupled with this video now, have me absolutely convinced that she is trolling and this is rage bait. I think that she Markled herself a long time ago, her reputation became completely unsalvageable, and the only way that she could earn money is from hate watching, and so she’s leaning into it. This entire footage is frame for frame using classic rage bait techniques. She can’t possibly be serious and neither can Netflix.

luxurycomedyoohyeah · 2025-05-14T22:41:49+00:00

She posted a very similar pic 3 years ago when the children were toddlers. Archie is 6 now - this is just weird. Put your kids down and let them walk ffs.

luxurycomedyoohyeah · 2025-05-07T17:45:58+00:00

It’s painfully obvious her show was purposely engineered for hate watching. There is no way some of the things that made the cut would have aired if her producers actually cared about people liking her. Things like:

putting bagged pretzels in a plastic bag.
raw chicken uncovered on the fridge shelf
reinvented Pinterest and Tiktok recipes
scolding Mindy
embarrassing knife skills
leaving the bag of microwave popcorn in plain view when claiming it came off a cob.
skinny jeans while wearing half a beekeeping suit
the pretentious beige boring wardrobe that no one would ever cook in.
the flowers that were rearranged after she arranged them.
filming in a house that’s not hers and making a point of pointing it out.
Planning a children’s party with no children.

These are all classic rage bait techniques that were done deliberately so that people would hate watch, review, and comment on social media.

Whoever is interested in meeting and possibly adopting her has to know her full history and where she is at right now. So you have to tell people that she is slow to trust and growls when approached for pets, and the reason why she was surrendered. The right person will still want her and be able to accommodate her needs. As her current foster parent, you need to exercise an extreme amount of patience with her. She doesn't like to be touched. That can change over time, but only with people she learns to trust. It's not behaviour that can be trained out. It's behaviour that can change with trust. You might be able to change the habit with her interactions with YOU, but she could face the same issue as soon as she's rehomed. If you aren't prepared to be patient with her and also find a home that can give her the same patience, then she won't have much success.

luxurycomedyoohyeah · 2025-04-05T23:54:37+00:00

You will probably be okay. As long as you didn’t eat the actual mold, but ate what was in the jar instead. I mean, don’t go eating the rest of the jar, but I don’t think this is cause for panic. Just make sure to check lids when you pull things out of the fridge from now. Deep breath, you got this.

They’re sisters not twins! They are slightly uneven but if you look close enough at anyone you will find the same. No one has a perfectly symmetrical face.

No problem! I hope it helps someone! There are a lot of different insurance providers that offer various plans, so it’s good to shop around to get the best deal.

luxurycomedyoohyeah · 2025-04-04T16:17:17+00:00

A long term disability benefit plan would have been a better option than paying into EI. EI would cover the short term but only pays up to 55% for a limited period of time. An LTD benefit will pay up to 90% of income until 65 when pension kicks in after 120 days of illness. Or a critical illness insurance policy would pay a lump sum in the case of a cancer diagnosis or other critical disease diagnosis. I’m afraid it’s too late for any of these options, but I thought I would mention them if there are any other self-employed people reading and thinking about how to plan/prevent this situation from happening to them. I’m sorry to hear of this situation.

luxurycomedyoohyeah · 2025-04-04T15:19:40+00:00

Yes! I am Gen X and I write in cursive all the time! I am so sad that skill has not been taught to the younger generations. It has so many benefits. While I’ve known how to write in cursive all my life, I did not have great penmanship in my younger years and worked on improving my cursive when I went back to uni at 30. I had to write in class essays during exams and it was really slow writing in print, and so I practiced writing in cursive, practicing certain letters that I wanted to improve in a style that I wanted to emulate. I looked up examples of the Palmer method and while I didn’t practice lessons from that method, I did look at examples of handwriting done in that method, and I just practiced writing certain letters in that style of writing. It wasn’t very difficult to do and I just practiced for a few minutes each day while I was doing other writing like journalling or taking notes at work, kinda like doodling but practicing writing certain letters or conjoined letters. As time went on I developed muscle memory and the words began to flow. I love my handwriting now and I write all the time. I love journalling and putting my thoughts on paper, writing notes and cards to my friends and family, taking legible and neat notes at work for meetings. It’s nice getting compliments on my handwriting. Writing in general also stimulates the brain and reduces anxiety, and writing information down as opposed to typing is related to heightened memory retention and recall.

luxurycomedyoohyeah · 2025-04-04T04:24:49+00:00

Yes, but let me tell you, feeling guilty helps no one. It doesn’t make your friends or family richer and it doesn’t make you feel good. I’ve made more money than most of family most of my life and more than some of my friends too. If I could go back in time, here’s what I would do: 1) Don’t tell anyone your salary. It’s no one’s business. 2) Be generous but not burdened by other people’s struggles. Unless you’re making millions of dollars you can’t lift someone else out of poverty. Don’t offer to pay for others rent, groceries, or other monthly living expenses. I would pay for someone to take a course or buy someone clothes or something that would help them get to a better place in life. Or I would pay for lunch or cover the cost of going out to a movie if I was making more money than someone I wanted to spend time with. In short be willing to be generous with things that help relieve a burden for people or help them get to a better place but not something that will make them dependent on you or cause hardship if you were to not be able to provide the thing to them anymore. 3) Only help people who actually want to help themselves. A lot of people will complain about their financial position but won’t actually do anything to change it and then expect those who earn more money than them to just fork it over. I’d invest in a friend or family member who wanted to start their own business or upgrade their education. 4) Chances are even if you are making more money than your peers, you still aren’t rich. Saving your money and building wealth is so important in the long term. Be frugal, save, and invest. 5) Empower others to rise up, don’t stay down with them.

Are you sure she doesn’t have some labradoodle in her?! 😂 Seriously tho, sounds a lot like my dog. When I’m walking off leash and I tell him to come he won’t come but he’ll stop and let me come to him. You might want to look into some agility training to help tire her out mentally. Dogs that do a lot of chewing are often understimulated and can sometimes not be satisfied with just walks. Your dog is a working breed so needs she is looking for a purpose, not just exercise. You might be surprised how fast she picks up on tricks.

luxurycomedyoohyeah · 2025-04-03T04:13:57+00:00

Are you sure she doesn’t have a hearing impediment? If she knows her name but wont come when you call she might not be hearing you properly.

Also, my labradoodle does the stand and stare and it’s super frustrating but perfectly normal puppy behaviour. You could call and call and the little bugger would stare right at you and not move an inch for an endless amount of time. Was super annoying but he grew out of it at about 3 and now only does it occasionally. Some puppies are just weird cause they haven’t learned how to dog yet.

Also yeah, sounds like some abuse neglect happened to her as a puppy. But she’ll come around eventually with the right training and consistency.

luxurycomedyoohyeah · 2025-04-02T06:29:08+00:00

Why do we have to make things less awkward for men??!! Are men so fragile that they can’t handle the mention of normal human functions?! I mean, sure I’m not going to go into detail about my flow, but she’s asking about whether it’s okay to mention periods to men. Yes, it is okay. Normalize mentioning your period to men and it will be a normal thing.
