I wanna make and sell stickers n stuff. I’ve done it in the past, but I was really nervous about marketing myself so it didn’t last long. However, lexapro gives me an “idgaf I wanna have fun” attitude, and I think I am less nervous about it now. Deep down I do worry it could be perceived as enshittifying my site.. I promise if I do it, it wouldn’t take over my whole site. I’d mostly push it on other platforms tbh

Go for it! Your art style would lend itself really nicely to stuff like stickers, and scrolling through your art page I already see a few pieces that could work nicely. Plus stickers are just fun in general LOL. I've made a few out of Inkjet sticker paper, but eventually I'd like to order some really nice ones.

Your website is so fantastically creative, I would just view it as becoming more of your own if you were to put your own stickers on it! I'd love to see what kinda designs you come up with!

I would snag some stickers for my workshop for sure.

I would be into this and would definitely buy some stickers. I’m thinking of making a few silly things for sale myself. I guess I think if someone is already contributing to the community and offering lots of content for free, as you are, then there’s no harm in offering something that people can choose to buy.

given that your site is designed like a bait shop, i don't think an adjacent sticker stall is out of place :)
