Vol. I · Out now
studio is a chronological feed for artists, and a working studio for the ones taking commissions. No algorithm picking favourites. No invoices going unread. The work, the brief, the deposit, the deliverable — under one roof.
We don't reorder your posts. We don't bury work because it didn't get traction in the first nine minutes. If you follow someone, you see what they posted, when they posted it.
That's the whole rule. It used to be how the internet worked. We thought it was worth bringing back.
More about the feedAn artist's reach shouldn't depend on a recommendation engine having a good day.
Collectors fill in a short brief on your profile — what they want, when they need it, what they're willing to pay. You set a deposit, a delivery window, and how many rounds of revisions are included. Both sides have a written record before anyone starts.
It works for illustrators, photographers, tattooists, character designers, and the music producers we keep hearing about. If someone pays you to make something, this is the part of the app you'll live in.
How commissions work
Deposits are taken through Stripe Connect the moment a commission is accepted. The deposit covers your reservation fee; the balance settles when you mark the work delivered and the collector signs off. Cancellations route through a refund window that respects your time.
Payouts land in your bank account, not a wallet you have to remember to drain. Fees are flat and listed before you agree.
Read about payoutsA collector finds your profile, opens commissions, and fills in what they want. References, deadlines, intended use. You get a notification with everything in one place.
Price, deposit, revision count, delivery date. If the brief isn't right, you say so. If it is, you accept and the deposit moves.
Drafts go in the thread. The collector signs off on each round inside the limits you set. Everything is dated. Nothing is lost.
Final files are uploaded. The collector confirms receipt. The balance settles. The thread stays archived in case you need to refer back.
Stripe pays out on its normal schedule — every couple of days, into the bank account you set up at signup. The whole thing shows up in your earnings ledger.
A brief in an Instagram DM, lost under three other threads.
Verbal pricing, no record either side can point to.
A PayPal invoice, sent, ignored, re-sent, finally paid in cash.
Revision number nine, no charge.
A portfolio scattered across Behance, Carrd, and a Google Drive.
A brief on your profile, with the fields you actually need.
Written terms before the deposit is taken.
A deposit on acceptance, the balance on delivery, paid to your bank.
Revisions inside the limit you set, priced after that.
One profile, one feed, one place to send people.
People who make things and get paid for it. Illustrators, tattooists, photographers, designers, painters, character artists, music producers taking custom work. If you take commissions, studio is built around the way you actually work.
Yes, to download and to post. Commissions go through Stripe; we take a small platform fee on completed transactions, listed clearly before you accept any work.
Chronologically. The newest post from the people you follow shows up at the top. We don't promote anyone, and we don't suppress anyone.
If you take session-based commissions — tattoos, recording time, photo shoots — studio syncs accepted bookings two ways with Google Calendar. Your busy times block on studio. New sessions appear in your calendar with the brief attached.
The refund follows the window you set when you accepted the work. If they pull out before that window closes, they get the deposit back; after it, the deposit covers your reserved time.
Free to download. Set up your profile in about three minutes. Open for commissions in five.
