๐Ÿ‘thepastelpeach NEW and UPDATED Commission Prices!! (2024-2025)๐Ÿ‘

thought it was time for an upgrade regarding my commission page, as well as a raise in prices to reflect both my new living situation (expensive) and the state of inflation (EXPENSIVE).ย 

i hope these prices are still reasonable while also being fair to my work/time. thank you all so much for your continued love and support!!

when i say my gender changes to the tune of the bit i mean a manโ€™s gotta do what a manโ€™s gotta do and if he canโ€™t then god forbid women do anything

jokerkind specibus ass

But you still recognized that as a Homestuck reference.

What were YOU doing at the devil's sacrament?

i googled the words & got results from the homestuck wiki. thatโ€™s not attending the devilโ€™s sacrament thatโ€™s investigating suspicious noises in the woods by lanternlight

i have such a low threshold for bullshit now that i'm seconds from telling this woman on the crochet subreddit to leave her husband, even though i know it won't end well for me.

she made him a wool hat and stressed repeatedly to him that it couldn't be machine washed. he washed it anyway, destroying her work. she's trying to play it off like a funny anecdote, how it was sweet how sorry and sad he was in the aftermath, but then let it slip this kind of thing has happened multiple times/continues to happen in their relationship, because he refuses to accept her knowledge as a textile artist and constantly ruins the nice things she makes or buys for either of them. i think he should be killed.

hey guys can you help me find that old portrait of a girl holding a little painting of a naked dude and cracking up about it?? I want to say itโ€™s by Rembrandt but thatโ€™s probably not right

Itโ€™s โ€œSmiling Girl, a Courtesan, Holding an Obscene Imageโ€ by Gerard van Honthorst!!

Itโ€™s the best painting that exists

I donโ€™t know about you, but I really want to know whatโ€™s written on there - wait, I found a higher res image, can anyone translate this?

also itโ€™s kind of an amazing little vignette

Hahahaa

Okay it says โ€œwho knows my arse from behindโ€ and I will never recover from this

OKAYโ€” so i LOVE this painting, itโ€™s in the St. Louis Art Museum, and on a tour i found out the story. itโ€™s not a naked dude, at all. Itโ€™s actually a smaller depiction of her, sheโ€™s a sex worker! Sheโ€™s showing off her advertising for her services. Itโ€™s a really cool historical example of sex work, and a gorgeous painting to see in person.

So that grin is her going:

โ€œThatโ€™s me!!โ€
