Trades/patronage
These are all the materials I use, burn through, can’t find, and/or can’t afford.
I’m hoping to trade my artwork for any of the items below.
If anyone has the capacity to sponsor my work and materials, please reach out here!
If I can secure patronage, I can fully commit myself to my art career and developing new framework for creation, as well as a much-needed synthesis of Modern Art, defining non-articulated movements in art, etc. I hope to start both a blog and newsletter in 2024, but need the time and money to do so.
