My Bio

name: Joseph aliases: zeruch, hank_kissinger, thelonius_funk, visceral_joe and various other names not fit for print. I do recommend that everyone get familiar with the FAQ/Helpdesk There is also the DA Status Forum (always informative), and the Etiquette Policy is something you should all refer to, because I do tend to lurk about in several of the public forums. ================================================================================ I have been described as an open source geek, a policy wonk, and even a bit of a creative illustrator (the latter being what folks here are most likely familiar with). All are at least partially true I suppose. http://www.josepharruda.com or find me on Mastodon: https://mastodon.social/@zeruch

...there's a serviceable fix. I sell my art. Not immensely, as I've never marketed myself much due to me doing art mostly for my own edification and because I have a career I like, which means I can take commissions and sell prints as opportunistically useful. That said, I still run my art business like a business, and that means filtering out the clown shoes. Most of the chat requests I've received since the Wix purchase have been some variation of random newish accounts or compromised old ones asking to buy 2-4 arbitrary pieces from my gallery for prices well outsized from my pricebook (most originals, based on size, go between 100-3500 USD, but I'll get un-negotiated offers from 3x that amount to a whole order of magnitude. I generally respond with a clear statement that I do indeed sell my work, that I have COAs and contracts for commissions (which includes the minting of NFTs) , and that before they even start their pitch for buying, that there is a caveat: if your choice of

So, how does one submit something for a print now. It really seems like every....single...goddamn...thing, on DA, is intentionally or ineptly, broken. I'd say it's dark pattern UX, but this seems so much more clumsy and poorly executed than planned. My god WIX, you were supposed to at least make things useful for selling art, and you can't get that sorted worth a half-damn.
