FAQ
Can I repost your art?
No, you may not UNLESS its for e621 or such sites. But this is the internet, once its out there, many would share it even without my knowledge. I would hope people would be respectful and respect my wishes, but as long as:
They credit me in their post
Have not tampered with my signature and watermark, cropped it out of the image, or covered it
Do not claim the art as theirs
I let people off the hook. Otherwise, I will file a copyright strike and get in touch with legal resources.

The Bike Fund
Thank you for wanting to help me improve my life! The Bike Fund is to help me get an electric bike to increase my mobility and open up new opportunities.Right now, I walk or take transit everywhere. I don’t drive and can’t afford a car, so an electric bike is the best choice. As someone who commutes often, it just makes sense. A 40-minute walk to the store would become 15 minutes, and I wouldn’t have to rely on my brother for rides. Most jobs expect you to be mobile, and that’s been a real barrier when trying to look for other jobs besides making art.This would be life changing. But it’s not something I can do alone. I’ve tried, truly, but I need help to make it happen.The bike I want to aim for is the Aventon Sinch 2. Reputable company and repair shop friendly.I also want to do something to commemorate the top donor to this wish, from the bottom of my heart. Thus, the top donor can choose between one of the following two gifts from me:
A growth / shrink sequence for a month that can also feature Arexu in the Monochrome style, updated at the end of every week
A full colored illustration from me
You can contribute to The Bike Fund on my Throne page. Please only contribute if you can, I know we're under very hard times. Being American, I can feel that heavier weight...which is also why this has more urgency to me. But still, don't break a leg for me, you must survive too.
Social sites
These ALL the places where you can find me on! Be sure to follow me on the sites you usually frequent in case one plataform falls (coughcoughTwittercoughcough)If you hover above some of the links with your mouse / hold press a button, if they glow RED, they are places I don’t frequent as much, but they exist to prevent impersonation.
HQ Prints
I usually sell prints of my work at conventions, but I can also ship them out if I have any spares!The inventory of what I have varies, but the process of obtaining it goes like this:
Reach out to me via a DM on BlueSky
Arexu.Art, Twitter, Telegram or anywhere really. My username is the same on most sites:ArexuAlexAfter telling me what print you'd like, I'll ask you to email me your details.
I pack your stuff and usually send them out by the end of the week or sooner, depending on the workload.
