Unfortunately I’ve gotten a lot of (kind!) comments informing me my art is in fact ALL OVER aliexpress/etc. Here’s how it looks from my perspective to be in this situation: I’ve been too sick to make much new art since 2022, and often too sick to have my online store open. I’ve had to travel a lot to physical shows, which I would never be able to do without the support of my partner and friends. I’m used to struggling to pay for stuff I need, from food to medical attention. I pay for a lot of my meds out of pocket because my $350/mo insurance either refuses coverage (HRT, lidocaine patches for some reason, etc) or simply stopped covering it. What do some people do if they want a patch I made, but my shop isn’t open? go buy it on Temu. It doesn’t matter who made it. Doesn’t matter what it means. It looks cool and they want it now.
