If art is your hobby and you do it as a job, you need to accept that there will be times (sometimes years) where you lose that hobby.
I think it's really unfair that monetizing art is so often framed as "you'll never work a day in your life" and not "you might lose something very important to you"

Artists - just cause you CAN monetize your work doesn't mean you should. There is NOTHING wrong with just doing art as a hobby. I miss it actually. When my art became my main source of income, my relationship with my work changed forever (and often feels way less creative than it used to be).
My biggest piece of advice for artists who want to run their own art business is that first and foremost you need to want to run a business, aside from the art. (A thread 🧵⬇️)

I feel this but I try to remind myself that we don’t ever truly stagnate because we’re all constantly changing. So even if seems like we’re not making progress in art, just being alive and witnessing life changes us and this affects and evolves our art.
I'm ngl, being around so many artists who are thriving & growing while I've...sorta stagnated is really hard! I'm not a machine 🥲

Um wow... was not expecting this positive of a reaction to a simple QRT about Dissolve Mode in our Carol & the End of the World BG paintings! 😳 Since y'all seem to have liked that so much, I thought I'd put all the pages of the BG Paint style guide I drafted in one thread! 🥰
