For artists and designers

Let fans support your art with M-Pesa

Not every fan can buy a commission or a print, but many would gladly send something to keep you creating. Support Hustle gives them one link to do it with M-Pesa.

Pin it to your portfolio, add it to your bio and print its QR code on your stand at markets and exhibitions.

What fans help artists and designers pay for

  • Paint, canvas and printing
  • Software, a drawing tablet or a better laptop
  • Exhibition and market stand fees
  • Time for your own projects
  • Achieng sent support

    “Bought your print last month, this one’s just because.”

  • Mwangi sent support

    “Your murals make my commute better.”

Questions

Can I use Support Hustle alongside selling commissions?

Yes. Support Hustle is for tips and support with no product attached. Keep selling commissions and prints as you do; your page is an easy extra for fans who just want to back you.

Will fans see how much others sent?

No. Your public page shows supporters’ names and public messages, never amounts. Only you see amounts, in your dashboard.
