Seeing a long queue of European readers waiting for an Indonesian artist's signature is just amazing. So proud of Apri Kusbiantoro and Fajar Nugros! Pure inspiration. 🇮🇩🙌🔥

✨Artist Terms of Service Template✨
Artists: I rewrote and updated the terms of service template doc with a much better version... it ended up much longer because of more important points to cover
but I also am pasting it here just because I can LOL
remember this isn't legal advice and may be missing things - just a suggestion that can cover more terms that can help protect against common issues for artists or clients, hopefully it helps!

Kenangan 2024 skip aja...pelajarannya banyak, 2025 tempat berjuang lagi lebih tangguh dari sebelumnya.
Buat semua illustrator otodidak yang struggle, tetap berkarya yang cihuy!
Buat mereka yang baru ingin memulai, jangan ragu. Keraguan cuma bikin jiwa berkaryamu mati cepat!
