On Recommendations + Special Requests + Tips
Constructive Criticism + Donations + Suggestions Welcome
As an independent, sensitive Southern Baptist Sissy (and LGBTQ creative), I have always walked the fine line between stubbornness and open-mindedness.
On one hand, Iām fiercely protective of my vision, often resisting changes that feel like they might dilute my work. But on the other hand, Iāve learned (the hard way) that being too rigid can stifle creative and personal growth and alienate those who support me and my work the most.
External input (done right) encourages discovery and evolution. It also helps keep us grounded when our wild minds turn feral. So whether itās a new idea for a project, a different way to approach a design, or just a word of encouragement, Iām all art, ears, and heart.
All I ask is to kindly remember the āfirst ruleā of Collide Press:
BE KINDā¦OR REWIND (ELSEWHERE).
After yesterdayās post about patronage, several folks emailed to suggest I open an account on Ko-Fi. Seems my Shopās support page didnāt work for some folks. So after some research, I realized Ko-Fi was a great option and got it set up.
Thanks to those who recommended itā¦Iām excited to see where it leads.
Being an open-minded creative doesnāt mean Iāll always agree with or take action on every piece of advice. But it does mean Iām committed to listening, learning, and adapting in ways that feel true to who I am and what I create.
So please keep the recommendations and special requests coming.
Whether I take up the challenge or not, know that theyāre always appreciated.
And if you want to show some extra love, you can now find me on Ko-Fi.
Thanks for being part of this journeyāyour support means the world!
