*wiggle Wednesday* doing art for a living?
12 years ago
“And it is still true, no matter how old you are -- when you go out into the world, it is best to hold hands and stick together.”
It's like Tmi Tuesday and free sketch Friday but all too do is wiggle. That's it. Wednesday's don't have a lot going for them really. The middle child of the weekdays so we need to think of something that theyre good at.
Also I'm feeling pretty maniacally happy today which is weird I hardly got any sleep last night as I couldn't find my binkie and it was only not being able to find it that I realised how much I need that stupid thing to sleep properly. I also had a gig last night which was pretty awesome. I've now been officially booked to play the Aston Clinton beer festival lol I'm being paid in beer that's.... Err not good but at least it's in July so I've a long way to go not drinking before I get there.
I've been stuck in a cupboard again for three days now at work just 2 more days to go then next week should be easier. My company is moving premises on August the 20th but we don't have anywhere to move to yet. That's a tad worrying. I've been looking for New jobs to go to instead but nothing in my field has popped up yet or perhaps I just don't feel confident enough to actually try. The job I currently have is easy cause I've done it for almost a decade but now I'm looking for stuff out of my comfort zone and that scares the bejesus outta me. I wish I could do art for a full time living but I have no art qualifications and let's face it I'm not the most amazing artist in the world. People would just look at my work at laugh.
*sighs* there's always Sainsburys

Maybe test the waters, and see what happens if you go part time at day job for awhile and try doign more commission work? Just make sure to set aside a space and a schedule and necessary daily rituals to train your mind that this place is where the work of artsy fartsy happens, and while I'm here I'm committed to that mode of thought and production and not to be getting distractedface or having productivity crises. ;3
You don't have to compare your work to other peoples because you just have tons of fans so your work is an open dialog with us wierdos. :3 And also taking to it professionally, even experimentiprofessionally will give you tons of practice and keep on making you betters and betters, too.
Every artist has different strengths and weaknesses, your strengths include making everything and everyone adorable and getting a narrative told and you're ace with facial expressions and rendering characters that people can identify with and relate to. You don't have to put forth rembrants every day just so that people will value or even pay you to commission your skills.
