Thank you... (and some background)
4 months ago
Im sure as some of you are aware, I've been rather depressive and self-destructive lately. There are so many things I see wrong with my life and the world at large. I could go into depth about EVERYTHING bothering me, but I would be here all day.
But with art, I've found myself very disappointed with the performance of my works on social media. I know some people have tried to reasure me by telling me that I'm, "just starting out." But I've actually been making art since 2015 and I hold a bachelor's degree in studio art.
These thoughts and more have stewed into a feeling that im falling for some "sunken cost fallacy" with my art career. The belief that despite my investments, I will not see success.
While I can't confirm nor deny the validity of these negative thoughts and emotions, its evident that a number of my followers have reached out to support me over the past couple of days.
I realize that I may not have a massive following, nor tons of commission money flowing in, I do have fans and followers who care about me and enjoy the things that I make...
So to everyone who has reached out to support me during this difficult time for me, "thank you"
However I realize that at the end of the day, I should make art not to chase trends and money, but because I enjoy making it.

Keep with it, I cant wait to see more of your art in the future, and might even be able to grab a piece for myself one of these days ^^
I didn't exactly mention what type of mediums I started off with which I realized may have came off as a little misleading. In 2015, I started making renders with Source Filmmaker and I mostly did traditional art, photography (which is what I do for my job) and a bit of Blender when I was in university. Most of these are not connected to the "Velo" name which is why there aren't any on here.
