Today I was shaken out of my depression fog, I felt so inspired to make art. I think I just need a week to create paintings, the most beautiful I can make.... a bootcamp for myself.

The ✨BIG REVEAL✨ of what I’ve been cooking this past month: I made a gachapon machine!
Inspired by native California drought-tolerant flowers, the microfiber cloths are sublimated with eco-friendly ink and pressed locally (by yours truly!) 🏵️🌵🪻🌸

Financial burden makes it so hard to create anything new. 😔 How can anyone create during all these terrible geopolitics and economic hardship?

I sleep so much better at night knowing that no matter how hard life can be as an artist right now, I am not a petty and argumentative generative AI artist grifter. Create, don’t scrape. 🌼

I know this might not be common knowledge, but it's kind of not good small biz manners to walk up to someone's table and ask who their manufacturer is.....
Any advice on what a vendor should say when a stranger asks this?

Comics writers, if you END a balloon with a ellipsis, and the idea continues into a 2nd balloon, it's standard practice amongst almost all mainstream publishers to BEGIN the 2nd balloon with an ellipsis. Same goes for double dashes. (I end up correcting a million of these.)

Rewatching Arcane makes so sad because I remember when it came out, AI wasn’t a huge threat yet, the game and animation layoffs hadn’t begun and everyone was so hopeful for this new era of animation 😢

I am actually so over art teacher hiring jobs that are like “must teach MULTIPLE visual arts disciplinaries, plan all the curriculums on your own, grade all assignments for all lessons, be a leader, be a collaborator, attend every faculty meeting, expect to work weekends” for…… $20 an hour?!
