hello!! first off, wanted to say that I absolutely love your art. boombox has definitely grown on me ever since I found your blog; please don’t ever stop creating. 🙏
secondly, I wanted to know if you had any tips for someone who is thinking about posting their art publicly for the first time and/or starting their own art blog. I’ve been thinking about doing this for a bit and, while I’m aware that you said it’s not a big concern for you on your strawpage, I’ve been kind of worried about things like others or ai stealing art; having a sizable online presence also makes me a teensy bit nervous.
thank you in advance! I pray college is treating you well, and I hope you have a great rest of your day.
I’m very late to answer this but I think the only advice I really have is that having someone try to take your work shouldn’t have to devalue it, the time and effort you put into it is still very real and the people who enjoy it will appreciate that. They got nothing on you!!
I wish there was a way to prevent these kinds of things, but honestly the best way to deal with it is to breath and chill, and inform others when you see your art getting stolen. It came upset you of course, that’s a reasonable reaction to something like this, but you can’t let it affect your judgment on what to do next
As for online presence, as long as you’re kind and respectful nothing scary should come your way! If for whatever reason something scary DOES come your way, block them. Turn off anon asks if you have to. Don’t interact or react, and if you genuinely feel like your life is possibly in danger tell someone you trust irl
I have no idea if you’ve already started posting your art, but I’m wishing you luck regardless! (>^ ^)>🍀
