Flip it upside down or mirror it and it doesn't even look like you drew it anyway...

I was at home depot buying mud for our drywall project and asked what the difference was between all of the buckets... Since they all were the same price. He shrugged and said everyone buys the green one.

Just made a sandwich from my childhood to see if it is actually good or of I was just a weird kid. Peanut butter and pickles with mayo. Turns out that both things can be true.

I've never been delusional enough to think I could make a living doing art. I've fortunately always had a full time job. Unfortunately it eats all of my time and energy the older I get. Art isn't really a big part of my life anymore. It does make me kind of sad sometimes.

I charged $30 to do emotes for twitch streamers a while back and was once told that they could just get them on fiverr for much less. I said go for it. I got burned out even just doing the small amount of commissions I did that I don't even draw anymore.

Oh my god, my aunt had this clown hanging at the end of a hallway in her house when I was a kid. I totally forgot about it until this very moment. Thanks for the nightmare fuel lol.

That stinks... I almost did the same thing for a similar reason. It's easy to get comfortable sometimes and not think everyone is out to steal from you. Sad that it's rarely true.

Thank you for this. I'm recovering from a two year hiatus myself from burnout. Trying to do things for myself for once as well. "do what you love and never work a day in your life" is such flawed advice that I cannot agree with. When I tried making money with art, it turned into something I hated.

I hate when I am halfway through making something and hit a wall... And my brain goes "you should just scrap this whole thing. Take it apart and forget about it entirely".

I don't understand why strangers feel the need to leave negative comments in the first place. It's so much easier to say nothing at all.

Cleaned out the garage a bit today. Brought out the shop vac and kind of committed spider genocide...

Damn dude... That's terrible. I know you aren't going into details about what happened, and I have seen enough bs myself... Any step discipline followed or right to removal? I hope it gets resolved and you can go back, bit it won't be easy working for the same folks after that.

What happened to make you have that burden? How's the weather been down there BTW? Radar looked nasty for LA

Always wanted to make a comic but I have no clue how to do a layout. This is looking good to me!

I like these characters! Nicely done! It's great to try and go back to our roots sometimes... Even if it's due to technical issues.

Braid is awesome and I love the teeth! Seems like a weird thing to focus on, maybe... But I love when the line between top and bottom teeth disappears in a grin like that. Makes a really cool expression.

Lately it's reminded me why I am always such a pessimist. The moment I get an inkling of hope or positivity, the world smacks me back down saying "stop that shit".

I can so relate to this thought process. I have stopped drawing for nearly two years due to thinking like this. I couldn't make something that felt like perfection so I made nothing at all. I want to draw again but am so out of practice now that I need to relearn how to do it.

Finding it exhausting hating my job as much as I do... And being frustrated about how bad my bosses treat me and my coworkers. So much so that I am entering a phase where I don't care about this whole job at all...

If you like someone’s work, no matter how long you’ve appreciated it without telling them, it’s never too late or too weird to do so. It’s always so nice hearing that what you do means something to somebody!

@crowneprince.bsky.social just watched your video about not including the date with a signature on your art... Honestly it's not something I ever thought about but your reasons make sense. Thanks for the video!

I know his full name, last 4 of a credit card, complete address... And a quick Google showed me when he bought his house, for how much, and 4 contact phone numbers. Could be a bad thing if I wasn't a good person.

Someone set up a t-mobile account and bought 5 new phones... And I guess the rep typed in the wrong email and put mine in there instead. Now I keep getting updates on his order and when it's shipping... I contacted t-mobile TWICE to correct this and I still am getting updates to this man's account.

Using actual pencil and sketchbook feels so foreign after doing digital for a long time.

Monetizing a social media presence has really been a strange process of thinking that I will never understand. It seems to make people end up posting what they will think is popular instead of what they really think or feel... Nothing feels genuine anymore.

I feel the same way but I am sure that I am just out of practice. As fellow artist, I am aware that we are very hard in ourselves. I'm sure that your art is just fine. Keep at it! This message is also for myself...
