Stop gatekeeping people’s enjoyment. You can be a Pratchett fan if you’ve only ever read the Johnny Maxwell books. You can be a Whovian if you’ve only watched the new incarnations. You can be a Swift fan if you’ve only listened to her country stuff.
Stop being holier than thou about enjoyment. Damn

I'm seriously contemplating just following artists & muting politics entirely.
I feel like if we keep on making art, it will rebalance the world.
Anyway, to that end, tomorrow I'm going to draw the heron that turns up on the roof opposite me every afternoon at 3pm. He has all the best lines.

I can’t rec doing your stuff on your own enough. Sure it’s great to work with others but having an idea of how to do each lil bit of the pipeline makes it so much easier for you to be like “well fuck it I’m gonna make it anyways”when funding falls thru or is nonexistent

One realisation I had today after ending up being frustrated with my art was how important it is to just be okay with not forcing yourself to continue working. Take a break. Do something completely self-indulgent.

I truly think the world would be a much better place if everyone spent about 75% of their time making bad art

It’s fun starting a new hobby with ADHD because I never know if I’ve found a new lifelong passion or if I’m going to spend $2000 on stuff and immediately lose all interest

Making art in a way really has been just trying to put together puzzle pieces after so much trial and error. Once you figure out it just clicks and you just then know. It's weird.

A relationship built on honesty is not simply about being honest with each other, but also creating a safe space for your partner to be honest with you and have hard conversations.

portfolio advice:
print out all of your work, one project per page. spread these out on a table or on the floor. look at all the work as a whole.
then make 2 piles: work you care about, and work you don't care about.
the work you care about stays in, the rest does not. #art #design #portfolio

Apropos of private convos I've had with friends lately: creative folks, particularly but not exclusively Americans, it's VERY NORMAL if you are struggling right now to write/focus. It's VERY NORMAL if your sales have taken a dip.
You're not broken, your career isn't over, it's just... *gestures*

After a certain age, you are no longer the product of your environment or how you were raised. It becomes a personal choice to live the way you do!

i majored in art, so analyzing superbowl performances is beneath me. instead, i use the thousands spent on education to walk into famous galleries and point out which artists were terrible people
