a GoFundMe plea by your friendly neighborhood art pest

Hi. Hello. I am Brittany, and I am once again asking for your financial support. But not for avocado toast, not for oat milk lattes, and definitely not for a vintage camera I absolutely do not need but deeply spiritually connect with... which can be found HERE. No. This time, I’m asking for help funding my college education—because apparently, talent, passion, and twelve sketchbooks filled with emotional damage don’t pay tuition.
I’m currently working toward my BFA in Digital Arts at CG Spectrum, an online school based in Australia, which means I now say things like “mate” while crying over perspective assignments. My goal? To become a concept designer for TV and movies, which is a fancy way of saying: I want to get paid to draw dragons and weird space fungus all day. The dream!
Unfortunately, dreams require dollars. And while I have tried to pay my tuition in exposure, coffee shop poetry, and interpretive dance… administration was unmoved. Cold-hearted monsters.
So Why Should You Help Me?
Because education is expensive, and student loans are just socially acceptable lifelong shackles! Because I’m a hardworking mom of four —meaning I juggle parenting, coursework, and the occasional existential crisis.
And because—let’s be real—you probably owe me for not starting a pyramid scheme instead.
Where’s the Money Going?
Tuition - Software - I can’t pirate (anymore) - Supplies that don’t involve glitter glue (I’ve grown) - Mental health chocolate - 🚫Not NFTs, I promise.
What Do You Get?
Besides the warm fuzzy glow of helping an artist chase their dreams? I’ll post progress art, behind-the-scenes meltdowns (tastefully edited), and maybe even doodle you as a potato wizard if you donate enough. Your generosity = my creative fuel. Literally. I might have to sell pencils for gas money soon.
If you've ever said "follow your dreams" to someone, here's your chance to put your money where your mouth is. Or just give a few bucks and pretend this counts as your good deed for the year.
👉 Click here to donate and help me turn my digital doodles into an actual career.
PS: If I become a famous artist, I will 100% name a weird alien species after you. That’s legally binding.
