It's my birthday! π° May I ask for art shares on this fine day πβ¨ As a bonus, I've been wondering, is there any particular character or theme you'd like to see me draw in the future? If so, let me know! #art | #hades | #baldursgate3 | #dragonage

Dear #portfolioday we meet again. My name is Yorgos, I'm from Greece and I work mostly in the publishing industry making book covers. I'm available for work from September onwards. Here's some of my work!

When people say "if you have nothing to hide you have nothing to fear." the correct response is: "I need privacy, not because my actions are questionable, but because your judgement and intentions are."

Hahahaha this is not a foreign concept for me
Sylvie (@altoeden.bsky.social) reply parent
Yeah it's so weird! And I honestly think half the customers in the club don't know either tbh, so spread the word for sure π
Sylvie (@altoeden.bsky.social) reply parent
So this at least isn't common in nz - it's house fees on tips and dances instead of a stage fee, but in aus I think it varies by state. But yeah the club cut is fucking awful, so dancers super appreciate cash tips

I have a copy! We should have a games night sometime π
Sylvie (@altoeden.bsky.social) reply parent
Holy shit by the way, have you played night shift? Boardgame designed by a stripper, set in a club, and is very fun π

He's forgiven me for abandoning him to the tender mercies of a cat feeder while I was put of town this past weekend (who spoiled him rotten but is a stranger, and thus, DANGER)
Sylvie (@altoeden.bsky.social) reply parent
They sure fuckin did! One of my instructors is a founding member and is just generally a amazing person, so fucking smart and driven and fighting for change
Sylvie (@altoeden.bsky.social)
I just had the best fucking shoot, omg - model has some clients who like to be kidnapped, so brought a cute pink balaclava, and those shots literally look like I had a member of pussy riot in my studio ππ THEY'RE SO GOOD
Sylvie (@altoeden.bsky.social) reply parent
Mermaids is like that, right? You actually can end up owing the house at the end of a shift?
Sylvie (@altoeden.bsky.social) reply parent
Sad-no-savings fistbump, friend
Sylvie (@altoeden.bsky.social) reply parent
Yup!!! Fucking same, i knew the house fees on dances was rough but I hadn't like connected the dots mentally - CGs raising the fees from 40% is the event that spurred the creation of the fired up stilettos group, 19 dancers wrote a letter to management requesting a convo about that and were fired
Sylvie (@altoeden.bsky.social) reply parent
Nah, in nz dancers aren't waged at all AFAIK - always tip cash if you can, as clubs take a cut of tipping dollars and house fees on dances are fucking robbery... 50% at calendar girls ππ
Sylvie (@altoeden.bsky.social)
Also, working with escorts and getting paid in cash means that's my lil tip fund right there π

It'd help if management actually put up a sign or something, I know some places do, but strip club management is a whole other problem on its own lmao
Sylvie (@altoeden.bsky.social) reply parent
I was at a club in welly over beervana weekend and it was busier than usual because so many people were in town, but it was fucking DIRE. I go armed with cash but I'm just one customer, jfc - I know quite a lot of the dancers and yeah, it was tragic all night. Not sure if ignorant or assholes.
Sylvie (@altoeden.bsky.social)
I've been working a lot with sworkers and strippers recently and sometimes I forget that my little echo chamber doesn't represent the whole of society... So like. Do people genuinely not know that strippers don't get paid unless you tip them??

Yeah, i almost said "wc" because it sounded weird... But I watch too much American reno videos as it is and i don't want to sound like them π I'm planning on paneling the bottom of the wall and painting it either deep green, or charcoal, with brass hardware π

Same - jp is kind of annoyed I'm already redoing a room lol, but it's a tiny space and a good place to start with something bold imo ππ

You can get each print in a variety of finishes - this is the Eco one, and i got the pattern scaled down by 50%. They do samples for about 49 bucks nz, which are enormous; plenty big enough to pin to the wall and see how it looks

I got it on etsy! www.etsy.com/nz/shop/xwal... Super friendly customer service, kind of eyewateringly expensive but SO GOOD especially in a small room!

A moment please to admire the new wallpaper in our toilet - I fucked up the installation because of course I did, but the pattern matching on the seams? FLAWLESS

For anyone who thinks I'm joking here (and it's funny, but no) rumor is that the National Guard deployed in LA was sent under a 29 day order to avoid housing allowances, which means they have to fully pay for their own shelter. In LA. Zero notice. Durable fascisms don't shortchange the muscle.
