This feels like the end of an era. I've been on Society6 since 2012. This week, they sent me two emails about both of my online stores there. I'm getting kicked out for not being trendy and popular enough.
I'm so tired of everything being a popularity contest.
The thing about The Doll Project is that it was never about market trends. It has always been about bucking trends, particularly the harmful ones devised to make us hate the way we look so we'll waste all our money buying stuff we don't need. I was inspired by womanist and feminist artists. Do you think The Guerilla Girls care about trends?
None of my products were ever highlighted on the front page. If it didn't happen in The Year of Our Barbie, 2023, it was never going to happen.
Now I need to find a POD service that isn't going to cower because of Mattel, like Zazzle did in 2015.
At least I still have a store for A Bitter Pill to Swallow on Zazzle. That won't change.
Anyway, if you've been meaning to buy something, now's the time:
I'm not sure if I will be allowed to sell these prints on another print-on-demand site, and I don't want to fulfill these orders myself. Feel free to leave some suggestions in the comments if you know of some good sites I should try.
