A friend gave me a great piece of advice: viewing the new year as a boss fight. And what does every good boss fight do first? Intimidate you; give you a sense of hopelessness. Be brave, shake off the cold, and stand tall. Be the boss's boss fight and taunt back. "Not bad, but you're gonna need more.

YEEESSSS

If it's any comfort for you, you should watch the French Christmas ad "Intermerche - The Unloved"
At a time where giants Coca-Cola and McDonalds resorted entirely to AI for creating their holiday ads, a French supermarket chain contacted 50 independent artists and went all-in with human effort :)

It is very hard to settle on a boat to stay on in the social media ocean, but hey, at least I'm here :)

Somehow this instantly made me think of Boromir from Lord of the Rings :)

Yikes. So it's gotten that bad now, huh?

..... I know that feeling that maybe the world might just not deserve as much sunlight as it gets. You just have to look another way, or they'll slowly eat you up like ants.
Also, you're no mediocre artist-- your art is vibrant and positive, giving real heck to whatever agenda denotes "modern art."

Artists will always be hated because their minds have a unique spark that some people can't dream of having, only envying. Using that spark to bring about joy-inspiring creations is a real blessing to this world, but it can be horribly exhausting to see the work put out backfire for no reason....

I have to admit, how they've maxed out the drama using struggling adults playing children's games is next-level writing. It's promising to be a bumpy ride, just hang on! :)

Cute! I like it so far :) Friendly color tones make for a nice art start to the year as well ^^

A terrible year for many, but your art shined through it all :)

That second part of this made me laugh so hard I thought I would wake people up X"D
