Definitely encourage you to sign up!

If it feels hard to do this, try this:

Bring a small sketchbook with you everywhere.
Start drawing anything that interests you when you're just standing around, waiting in line, etc.
Draw out of curiosity, not the desire to make it look "good".
Do this as much as possible.
Don't make a big deal out of drawing.

Look at stuff you like. Draw that stuff. Practice whats hard by drawing it a lot.

Rinse and repeat.

Just feeling really grateful that I've been able to make art for a living these past 10 years

I don't think there are words to express my gratitude for the community I have, other than I love y'all

Thank you 💛

Okay artists, real talk: everyone else is waiting for Jan 1st to "start fresh."

But not you. You're about to start 2 months early and it's going to change your art. 🧵

⭐ TrueRef is looking to hire a Chicago area based carpenter/prop maker to build us a mechanical 360 spinning platform.

It'd be an ASAP deadline as I keep getting flaked out on and it's an absolute must have for TrueRef at this point.

DM me for more information!

Let others decide if they like your art.

Your job is to make it and share it with the world.

When you hide it from the world, no one gets the chance to choose for themselves and the only audience you’re left with is your fear and shame.
