So Artist-Problems had a draw drill for MS Paint so I said why notttt

Not sure what it is about smokers. Horrible for your health but so cool looking at the same time. Ahh marketing.

So, what's worse? Every artist has heard the same age-old problem.

There's no future in pursuing art.

You're on a path toward destitution.

"And would you like fries with that?"

And yet, someone else told me I was wasting my talent by working on another degree, non-art related.

There really is no winning, is there? I say just do what you love and pursue what you love.

The use of my Art Today I got a small comment on my deviantart that someone had used my playstation wallpapers in their own art for creating some PS Vita wallpapers. I dont mind it that much, glad that what I created is liked and used. However I went on and did a small reverse image search on google. It's quite saddening to see many hits everywhere on the net where the wallpapers are cruelly resized, jpg raped or ripped from their original source. Either for use in videos or news articles for websites. All without any credit or link back to the original creator.

So what can I do? Well seeing as its one of the first results on google not much. Why should I? Haven't found any evidence yet that people are using it for commercial purposes. Been told to be happy and t watermark my gear. So thats what l'll do.
