I’m usually so bad at taking my own advice, but I’m gonna hang onto this one because I still feel this way. Art by itself won’t save us by itself, but community can. And I think it will.
Not to be unkind, but I am so impatient about the “what’s the point of making my little zines/comics/crafts/art when the world is on fire” sentiments. I get it, but saving the world is not a responsibility shouldered by your art! That’s what being a neighbor, a friend, and hell, a citizen is for!!!

Working on a small oil painting with texture. This colour yellow is my absolute favourite when the golden sky is reflected in the water 🧡💛

I suppose I should make a post for #portfolioday
I'm Skutch. I draw stuff. I mostly do editorial illustration, portraits and character illustrations but I've recently begun work on my first graphic novel!

Some traditional plein air (and a study of Pride and Prejudice) from this year’s Plein airpril. Strangely, I think my traditional studies end up way more successful than my digital. Perhaps because I had a more limited palette to work with?

I would have def fallen for the Tulip Mania if I lived in the 17th century. Tulips are colorful and wild and I love them so much. 🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷

Passion Tax is so real. I've never known an artist who wasn't just scraping by -- even the ones you think are successful. Even the ones working in studio.
It makes you feel like you're insane, fighting for scraps.

this "passion tax" appears all over the place & should be talked about more. you see it in book stores and game stores all the time
excitement for particular work is constantly weaponized to depress wages & pit workers against each other

I am an adherent to the philosophy that all the best artists are perverts in some way, if not openly then privately. What is perversion if not having unchecked passion, the same passion that fuels artistry.
