Times are tough and I honestly in all the years of running this blog (13 years and counting!) I wanted to avoid what I’m doing right now. I’ve always wanted Musing to be a free resource. In the current climate of COVID 19 artists and self employed are struggling and facing a lot of future uncertainty. Today I lost the 6th paid job in 2 weeks. So I guess I’ve reached a tipping point and need to reach out to our community for support. I really want to be able to continue to support our community, raise up artists, and share creative and educational content. If you can support Musing at this time my sincere thanks. If you can’t, I totally understand. Even just helping share this post is appreciated.
SIGN UP ON PATREON HERE
Much love to all.
