If DA and Etsy(cause I'm thinkign of getting on there to SELL art) and Tumblr get shut down or censored all to f***, Where's my art gonna go. I can get a demand for geeky, kitschy stuff on the internet that I don't think I can find as much demand for around here, in the little shops. Hell! I'm even trying to see about getting into the business of selling ECCHI work, and I can definitely NOT take those to the little shops that are run by nice, older ladies. No no no.
