if you're in the denver, CO area, come visit @littlerobberboy and i at the Underground Pride Fest 🌈🌟 we vended there last year and it was an absolute blast! this year there are loads of amazing musicians and performers (stream Celestial Wizard) as well as tons of super talented artists and artisans vending the event. you'll be able to pick up any of the earrings currently in my etsy store, and get first pick of way, way more designs that haven't been added to the online shop yet (as well as a few new stickers 👀)

we're also planning on donating 10% of our proceeds to Palestinian relief efforts (probably directly to gofundmes most in need at the moment) and personally i'll be donating all of the profits from sales of any lesbian pride stickers directly to Emily Gwen

come check us out!! 👋💫

So so so excited to join my boyfriend for this fun event! We have been working so hard and put so much into this big event, it is one we've been anticipating for months and months now 🥰 Can double confirm on the 10% charity donations to various Palestinian causes, I'll also be donating 10% of proceeds from my Johnny Cash and Dolly Parton "mom heart tattoo" stickers to NARF (Native American Relief Fund) and will be donating tbe full price of any lesbian flag earrings sold to Emily Gwen as well :) ❤️

hate making this post but. hi im Eli, a physically disabled gay trans man, and im what the kids call "extremely broke"

ive been out of work since April '23 due to said disability and really have not been able to find anything that i'm able to do otherwise so i've been trying to scratch out a living through my art and my handmade jewelry on my Etsy store. this is, as you can imagine, not a particularly glamorous profession, but thankfully my partner's income has been able to support us for the last almost-year, albeit barely.

i'm trying to open commissions here soon but i'm going in for top surgery (finally) on March 5th, which is going to take me out for a couple of weeks while i recover, so i won't be able to work on art for at least a little bit. my partner is also taking almost 2 weeks off of work to take care of me - thankfully our state ensures paid family medical leave that we'll be able to get, but it's not entirely certain right now when that's going to pay out and we'd like to not be left w literally nothing if there's a delay.

all of this to say money is really tight right now; major bills are paid for but we still need food and household goods - i would like to be able to eat while i'm recovering from surgery but that's just, like, a personal preference of mine

i know the economy is in shambles and a lot of people need money rn but if you're able i'd really appreciate if you could check out my Etsy or Ko-fi shop; as i said before i make handmade jewelry and i'm selling some Sailor Moon pride flag stickers rn (the latter are currently only available on Ko-fi rn)

i really hate asking for something for nothing so please check out my shop links and help support me that way if you can. that said i'm grateful for any help at all so i'm still going to put my v*nmo here at the end of the post in case anyone would like to kick some help our way through there instead.

and if you can't help i'd really appreciate a reblog, any visibility would go a long way rn :')

tl;dr please consider helping out a broke disabled artist going into top surgery this week, ty

BF'S COMMISSION POST | BF'S ETSY

v*nmo: elmtrees

cool they cancelled my fucking surgery 🙃 literally day before. called to let me know they didn't have any openings on. the day that i was scheduled for.

ive already spoken with the surgeon's office and confirmed there's not anything they can do about it and this is just how they operate. im on the wait list again and rescheduled for september but also have reached out to the other major hospital network in my state that does top surgeries. this just. is a massive fucking blow for a lot of reasons

most important one is now we can't get the paid medical leave!! which does mean a full two weeks without income. my partner is already working on trying to pick up open shifts and get at least some of his time back but it won't be near the full amount of shifts he's supposed to work.

since im not going to be recovering from surgery anymore ig i'll try and get commissions opened this week but. in the meantime any help is really appreciated. all the orders that have already been placed have really help a lot, and will be going out this week with normal processing time instead. sorry to have to keep e-begging, literally none of this was expected.

update tl;dr: my top surgery got rescheduled which means we won't get any medical leave pay, so we're looking at 2 full weeks with no household income outside of our etsy shops 👍

Howdy all! I'm opening up some emergency commissions for the start of the year, 5 slots are open as of this post but I will edit this post as things open and get taken, I'm currently in a job emergency not getting enough hours from both of my jobs as well as preparing for when my partner will be recovering from surgery in a few weeks and we need this income to survive when the time comes. I will have a big amount of time to work on things in the coming weeks and will have a fast turnaround time for any of your ideas <3 I can take Venmo, paypal, Facebook Pay, and ko-fi as well as discuss other payment methods if applicable. Contacting me here on tumblr works best as well as through my instagram @robbersden since I may have the "only people who follow you can message you" option checked on this blog. OPEN SLOTS: 1. TAKEN (D) 2. TAKEN (SH) 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. Thank you so much everyone!
