How to help your artists - The circle of influence.

So over the past 10-15 years, as I’ve been trying to branch out, grow a following and sell commissions, there’s one phrase I’ve heard more than any other.

“I’d love to support you, but I have no money.”

And you know, I get that. I understand. I don’t have any either. But here’s the secret. The most powerful and useful thing you can do to support an artist? It doesn’t cost a penny. Reblog their posts, signal boost their commissions, advertise their patreon./
If you have commissioned them, or do support their patreon? Write a review, tell your friends, share their links. Keep circulating the tapes.

Every post is an artist laying themselves bare before you. You have the power to make them into somebody. You can make them into a big name, you can help bring them an income. All you have to do is share.

Here’s a handy infographic.

If artists get only likes, they never get any exposure. They find no followers, they make no money, and feel worthless.

But with reblogs, who knows how far they could reach? New people could see their work and follow them, and maybe one person will spot that commissions post or patreon promo, and maybe offer to help support them. And it didn’t even cost those followers a penny to reblog the post.

So please, anyone out there. If you enjoy an artist’s work and can’t afford to give any monetary support, you can give them something more powerful. A voice.

And authors, too. Please reblog and share author commissions!

To use the first 200 reblogs of this post as an example:

That orange dot is OP! Look at how far those first few reblogs spread this post!

Can I also add!!!!!!

This doesn’t work if you repost art.

Especially when you remove the credit, you break the web of connections. Only only only ever repost an artist’s context if you have ALREADY asked them and they have ALREADY given EXPLICIT permission

We Love Color Tights - Sizes Ranging from 1x - 7x!

Ok, real talk: it can be really hard to find plus size tights full stop, let alone in fun colors. That’s why we’ve been nurturing a little crush on We Love Colors, and finally we’ve been able to take our relationship to the next level, and stock our shelves with some of their lovely wares.

At the moment not all colors are available in all sizes, but there’s plenty variety to go around!

1x fits up 43 inches in the hips.

2x fits 44 inches in the hips (the 2x is ideal for longer inseams).

4x fits up to 60 inches in the hips.

6x-7x fits up to 71 inches in the hips.

For further sizing information, see our website.

If you normally wear a 3x or a 5x, don’t panic! We went with these sizes because they seemed to have the best fit for our testers, while also fitting the greatest range of bodies, so the size up will likely work just fine for you.

See, that’s what the app is perfect for.
