Art future is bleak - going stir-crazy
3 years ago
General
Chaos in motion
It's just art amongst many things in my life that are looking bleak.
The combo of carpal tunnel syndrome, arthritis, and minor fractures in my hands has made it impossible to do any art for many weeks now. Also badly affecting day-to-day tasks to the point to creating risk; so the menial things are becoming a challenge. Mediaction can only do so much (only just makes pain tollerable), so I'm on a waiting list for appropriate treatment. No idea of timeframe tho.
But I can at least get out and about to enjoy nature? Nope. Not easily. I'm currently getting about on crutches due to now both my knees failing me (arthritis in both, but damaged the ligament in my right) since both are unpredicatble I need the crutches as support so I don't hit the floor.
I have been very busy with other things, but nothing to really show for it (aside from being exceptionally physically and mentally knackered).
Oh yeah, and I'm still working in supermarket retail now in the run-up to xmas and all that bs.
Rhetorical question, but, what the heck is going on with all the internet?! It's a different waft of shit every day. I'm just gonna carry on with my own dull presence, nothing exciting or unique going on here.

Though, looking back the years you've been around, you've had a really good run! I'm almost 30 now, and the first time I've seen your art was when I was in my days High School! That's quite impressive!
Though, with everything said. Its up to you if you want to continue your art career or not. As much as we'd hate to admit it, times change. Its why the internet is in the state its in now. Maybe things will get better and you can continue art, or maybe it won't. I can't say.
The most important thing is that you made a lot of people happy with your art. And in some cases, you've might have made enough people mad to make a impect on some parts of the internet. That's got to count for something!
