Help artist Mary Doodles rebuild her studio
Donation protected
Hi, I’m Mary Doodles, and since 2011, we've shared an incredible creative journey together. Over the years I have used online platforms like my YouTube channel to create a place of art, inspiration, and connection. It has been my mission to openly share the creative process and spark self-expression in others.
Now, I'm reaching out to you with a humble request for your help to rebuild my studio after an unexpected, emergency move.
Who Am I?
For those who may not know me, I'm an artist and video creator better known for my work on YouTube, sharing playful illustrations and telling stories in the process. Having started as a costumer and prop maker for the web series Epic Rap Battles of History, I have developed my own series of videos both entertaining and educational. From my "How to Art" tutorials, which have been a guide for countless aspiring artists, to animations like Max the Murder Cat, as well as experimental collaborations based on audience suggestions. This has led to engaging face-to-face in live art exhibits and workshops.
Why I Need Your Support:
Recently I had to make an emergency move that came unexpectedly, and now I'm on a mission to find a new home for my art and our community. Your support will help me secure a new studio, cover living expenses, utilities, moving costs, and replace equipment lost in the transition.
What I Dream to Achieve:
With your help, I'll continue fostering a positive and creative space for artists, both seasoned and budding. I’m working on exciting projects like reviving the animated series "Max the Murder Cat" as a comic book and designing a captivating tarot deck, as well as launching a brand new series of tutorials focused on all aspects of the creative process, from technical skills to mental health and creativity cultivation. Your contribution will fuel these projects and allow me to continue leading our creative community.
Where Your Contribution Goes:
- Studio Space: Finding a new space to live and work.
- Utilities: Keeping the lights on and the creative energy flowing.
- Moving Expenses: Covering the costs of a smooth transition.
- Equipment and Supplies: Replacing what was lost in the move to ensure I can keep creating.
My Promise to You:
This challenging chapter won't just be a personal comeback for me; it will be an inspiration to others facing difficulties, especially for other female artists and small business owners. It is my mission to turn this setback into a story of resilience and growth to help others.
How You Can Help:
Every contribution, no matter the size, makes a difference. Together, let's support each other to continue spreading the message that self-expression is a superpower and that challenges can be turned into triumphs.
Share and Spread the Word:
Even if you can't contribute financially, sharing this campaign with your friends and family can make a world of difference. Let's come together and show the strength of our creative community!
Thank you for being a part of my journey. Let's make this next chapter the best one yet!
