Ok, I saw someone offer an avatar for $8 and it's been like a week and I'm still upset.
If something takes you an hour, charge $15+. Can you really get a commission from brainstorm to execution to cleanup and adjustment and end up with something you're proud of in less than an hour? I sure can't... and it's *me* they're paying, not some faceless art-generation service, so people can pay me a living wage for my time.
Don't do that. Just don't. Don't pay someone to do that, either. :flan_rage:

Gard was an orc renowned for his vast knowledge.
He knew how much blood a skull contained.
He knew exactly how to break bones not once but twice if necessary.
He deftness with a blade was unparalleled and owned the sharpest set of anyone who knew him.
With the help of his elven husband, who brewed the most powerful sleeping potions and crafted the softest bandages, they were an unbeatable pair of healers and greatly loved by the tribe.

Chemistry, nursing homes, and puns are all close to my existence.
Hello! I'm Mo.
I'm a life-long artist who got burnt out in graphic design school. I'm finding my creative footing again with painting and sculpture, and I'm always looking for inspiration.
I am also a clown in training! I work and learn with @RussSharek in the classical art of European silliness. Along the way I've picked up juggling and ukulele. I'm looking forward to learning to walk on stilts and ride a unicycle this year!
I'm on Mastadon because facebook is the worst. : )
@thraeryn
The name Fool Foundry makes me happy.

I did get the story of the roses in the trash can: my coworker is trying to revive someone's roses after they were flooded out of their office for a while. One of the things that makes her a good mentor is that she does care about people.
@skalman
It's really useful, and certainly worthwhile to me.
Found without explanation in the break room. It does look like a story.

Don’t agree with everything here, but agree more than I disagree.
“I wanted to bring these projects to the community, so people can see renewable energy working in their community,” he says. “Communities want to rebuild themselves and not rely on some big municipal contract.”
The democratising potential of energetic self-determination is stellar.
