Doodle commissions are open!

THEY WANT TO INTERVIEW ME YAY :)

First interview went well!!!! They're scheduling me for a second one soon!!!

Second and final interview scheduled for tomorrow, if I get the job I will be eating a lot of chocolate to celebrate and if I don't get the job I will be eating a lot of chocolate to cope :)

just a lil gif that I animated as an attention grabber for emails to studios :3

First of all, thank you 😁 But also, this is a good opportunity for some advice actually!! Bc this is something I've been telling artist friends for a bit

If you have any animation abilities at all, I highly recommend using animation in any area you want to draw attention to! I can't tell you the exact statistics, but the amount of followers I've gained on a weekly basis has gone up exponentially on all my social media since I made an animated pinned post. Humans instinctively notice motion more, so animation is a powerful tool to make yourself stand out!

That being said, adding a gif to job hunting emails is an untested theory of mine, so I can only advocate for this working on social media :P BUT here's some advice if you're going to try it:

Wish me luck, and if you try it, I hope it works great for you!! 🤞

Thank you so much for the advice!! I actually have a degree in 2D animation, but I struggle with strategies for catching people's attention (either via social media or for jobs) usually because I feel I need something large and impressive to showcase, so I sink lots of energy into longer or more detailed projects and burn out before they're ever finished. Short little gifs that I can re-use everywhere might be the perfect solution both for drawing attention and for giving myself manageable animation projects that I can actually finish quickly :D (and in the long run it'll probably give me a more accurate idea of how to pace myself for the long form stuff so I don't burn out immediately!)

Good luck with the gif-in-the-email strategy, for what it's worth I think it's a great idea, which is why I want to test it out myself! I hope it gets you the job you deserve! (Also I love your art btw <3)

i am a disabled twospirit beadworker and my partner, is a jewish nonbinary transfem musician, we have been trying to set aside money to help w transition costs, eventually getting a new vehicle bc my truck is dying and is no longer safe for highway driving, and general cost of living(food, meds, etc)

if you want to support my partners music you can do so via bandcamp (they also do custom work for beats, production, or general collaboration, dm on instagram). i sell my beadwork online here and i am currently also open for beadwork and regalia commissions. if you feel generous and just want to help out with a few bucks my cashapp and venmo are both @ mathosapa

hii bringing this back bc im trying to make my vendor fee for powwow next week and this powwow will give us the majority of our income for the rest of the month, and will make it so i can afford to get to the reservation to help my grandma recover from surgery.

im open for commissions for beadwork and sewing, my partner is open for anything music related.

If you can't spare a dollar rn for a silly doodle I totally get it, its rough out here- I'd appreciate a reblog or two tho, even that would help! Most of the current reblogs are unfortunately just me 😬

I've tasted employment. I've tasted unemployment. I suggest money should start growing on trees so I can buy whatever I want.
