I'm Stressed Out
6 years ago
Art is my only hobby that I do when I'm not at work. Usually since it's meant to bring people joy, there's an aspect to it that makes me more unhappy in my life than being happy. It's not making art itself, but the social side of it that makes me really feel miserable for the past 16 months. High expectations, pressure, self-doubt, competition, superiority and conflict are typically things I have to deal with everyday while trying to be productive and improve my craft. The stress they bring is making my life more unbearable.
Before I reach a point where I just have to quit art so I could save myself, I'm going to try to put up with those aspects of my hobby so I could find a way to get rid of them.

And just Do It!!
Forget them, or Anybody else.
This is your drawing and your skills at work.
So cut the BS and Draw Something, ANYTHING!
A Fox, Cow, Pipes, Drums, Male or Female.
Get up and just DRAW, T_J!
And if not. Then you hang it up... because YOU, couldn't DO IT!
Everyday for you and me, that VOICE is their for us to quit.
So just go and QUIT already!
And if NOT, just f*cking DRAW!
That's just LIFE for ya. Leave or Take.
You, ONLY You, can do this, T_J.
If you lose your will and give in. You just lose.
PERIOD.
You wanna LOSE?
Or Will.
Some choice.
I enjoy making pictures of things I like, but a lot of what I do normally are based on a notion of art being a game of unconditional superiority.
And little by little. It can make you and break you.
As my advice to you and others could be as well, give or take.
Continue to do it, or don't, man.
I and you can only do so much.
So much that I'd like to make a proposition to you.
But Only if you're game for it.
