yes, I could be drawing, HOWEVER it is much more fun to put together thousands of references on pinterest :o)

coming back to online platforms as an artist after a decade is extremely disheartening, and to see that artists have been pushed towards becoming competitive content creators rather than simply sharing their art is so sad. I'm hearing about artists who haven't been able to grow their audience for years, and every other video is a ''how to get more likes, more follows, more engagement''. within a few days I've scrolled through countless videos that are all the same thing, the same meme or shitpost or ragebait, the same format, the same trend, the same hook. other artists have talked about how humiliated they feel desperately trying to be noticed for all their hard work. it is so so so upsetting and I never expected that I would enter into the spaces that once felt so close-knit and communal only to come away feeling invisible, lonely, and overwhelmed.
