ABSOLUTELY NOT EVER EVER!!! mark my words.

I know this is an awkward one, but its a combination of:

materials cost + time cost + making a profit somewhere. I know the art industry can be pretentious, and I empathise. However, this is my craft and I make everything from hand. Also whatever you buy from me will only go up in value after I die one day, anyway.

As a musician myself, I have a deep appreciation for the work done by independent artists in my generation. To make art in any form for a means of income amidst the cost of living crisis is a true testament to the prevalence of hope. If I can make a band or singer/songwriter's journey even 10% less stressful just by providing some graphic design for their release, I feel as though I contribute to the bond between artists alike.

Additionally, its a mutual promotion between the two entities. I can display links to their work here - and maybe I'll get a follow or two out of them.
