Gatekeeping is so good and important

What's she saying in the photo

stop drawing for others. don't draw for yourself either. play video games

wow. It's like an infomercial for truly inspired 'not giving a fuck'

man its so ugh when you create ocs and people either reblog or reply with 'omg this is glimbo and glorbo from my fav show' in fact no ! they are my original characters! and designs ! stop !

ok ive realised my main issue when it comes to talking about work is that sometimes i say "i dont want a job, i want to make art" and inevitably people will respond with "you can make art your job!" and like. theyre not wrong! that is my goal currently. but its not the same thing, you know? art as a job isn't just about making art, it's about networking and finding jobs and building a portfolio and promoting yourself and staying on top of trends and communicating with clients and market appeal and scheduling. and sometimes u just sit there and go man. i dont wanna do all that. i just wanna make art.
