A love letter to kin, wherever they may dance.
3 years ago
To my kindred spirits who persist, struggle, and truly aim to create.
The move from artist to content creator is a shift in mass society more painful than most are willing to acknowledge. It's simply too painful and deadening to consciously face. It's easier to embrace the "gindset mindset", throwing things into that void and chasing the "this'll do numbers" dragon. I'm sorry you had this experience there. I'm struggling with this too.
You're a very talented artist and you deserve to keep that flame alive in your heart.
I'm happy to see that this creative spirit hasn't been extinguished and is still alive in artists like yourself, whom I'd admire greatly. It's inspiring— a contagious flame, fueling the artistic journey of countless others who come into contact with it. Keep it up, embrace that spirit and do away with the content creator mindset. You're an artist, a rare and most precious gem in this ever darkening "last man" scenario we call modernity. Dance that creative dance that your heart seeks, for it will invariably be more meaningful and sustaining than any number of retweets or follows on the art conveyor belt circle jerk.
Struggle on,

Thanks for saying that man, it does mean a lot. <3.
It's a difficult struggle as an artist, it's true. I've had that grinding leveling up experience since middle school and well into college. It took time for me too even find the confidence in myself too really keep going at it.
Having finally faced my first 'dragon' so to speak, it's allowed me to keep pushing onwards with that torch.
Seeing artists like yourself and getting the encouragement and feedback too sharpen my skills has been a blessing and a boost to my own confidence in these days of grinding and self discovery.
Much love and thanks. As ever, keep up the awesome work and do what you love to do with your creative abilities.
