I'm starting to look more seriously into what I can be doing with erotic art. I've always enjoyed drawing sexy stuff because [see attached], but I was convinced it couldn't be more than just a spurious hobby. And I'm still shaking off decades of being programmed to believe anime-style art is puerile and Not Real Art; I'm learning not to feel embarrassed about what I like to create.

And I'm feeling rather empowered! Like there are real possibilities...🧵

...I should be able to achieve much more than I'm doing now... maybe even the holy grail of better quality of life through increased income?

I don't have any solid ideas yet, though. There's a lot of basic monetizing and merchandising of artwork (sexy or not) that I'm *not* doing, and I need to pay more attention to what other artists are achieving in that regard. Steal some ideas.

But meanwhile...
