January 3, 2025

Greetings artists, writers, creatives, and everyone in between! On the heels of my last post, I thought I’d lay out some of the most common art scams I’ve come across in my time doing business as an artist, working on websites, and things I’ve seen cross the desks of fellow creatives.

Hey all! It’s me again. Booktopia came and went in September and we did splendidly for getting The Warm Machine funded. If you missed the campaign, it’s on pre-order right now for a short period of time before you will be able to pick up a copy from Amazon and other book retailers. I’ll let you know when it’s available for public purchase, too! Coming very soon I promise. Thank you so much for helping making this book such a huge success!
