You contain worlds. ❄️ Might you be willing to share one or two of them with the rest of us? 🌸 How about that idea you’ve been thinking about. Could you make it a reality in a small way, and let us experience it? ☀️ #AnswerTheCallToCreate #yourArtMatters #makeArt #yourWritingMatters #flexagon #flexagons #paperArt #foldedPaper #foldedBookArt https://www.instagram.com/p/CSsa1F_AJuV/?utm_medium=tumblr

Being an artist and creator is a funny thing. When I did this drawing a few months ago, I thought it was awesome. Big bold text and the letters fit together pretty well...but now, several months later, I see sooo many imperfections and just want to fix things about it. This is honestly a real lesson in confidence and the exact reason why I haven't posted in months. I do a drawing and then proceed to spend too much time online comparing my artwork to other artists. By the time I want to post it, I feel like it's not good enough and no one will like it or even care. What I really should be thinking is that THIS IS ALL FOR FUN. I don't make my full income doing lettering, and no one pays me for 99% of what I post. I just do it for the joy of sharing pretty things with the rest of the world. Sorry for a long caption, but I'm really just trying to remind myself to draw and share for my wonderful friends and family on IG. You all are the people that I would want to share these drawings with in person anyway! #confidence #keepcreating #keepsharing #yourartmatters #drawsomething #justwanttodraw #handlettering #drawing #lettering #sketchbookartist #utahdesigner #utahartist #utahhandlettering #saltlakeletteringclub #saltlakecityartist #womenofillustration #illustration #ladieswhopaint #handdrawntype #typography #goodtype #typegang #handtype #artoftype (at Salt Lake City, Utah) https://www.instagram.com/p/CDU7cmKn7Nr/?igshid=1ye4vzbfved8

My through process revolved around trying to understand how to visualize suffering through an unjust system surrounding and violating everyone, especially those who are without power.

No pressure...but your gifts are your gifts for a reason, and you owe it to *yourself* as much as anyone else to use them. In fact, when you don’t use them, you cause far more pain for yourself than you think. Regret, frustration, sorrow, anger, emptiness... none of these are fun, but they’re what happens when we tell ourselves that the things we’re good at, that call to us, don’t really matter. Aren’t important. Are only for ourselves.⠀ .⠀ The truth is, every time we deny our gifts, we deny ourselves. As Dawn Kotzer would say, we “sandblast our souls.” We diminish ourselves—and we diminish our relationships with others, because they don’t get to see the full truth and beauty of who we are.⠀ .⠀ What have you been denying? Pretending isn’t important? Telling yourself you don’t really need to do to be happy? Take five minutes today and DO it. Tell us about it below!⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ posted on Instagram - https://ift.tt/2KepGGc

Haha... shipping weird shit is basically my fandom life story. I’d actually like to ship all of them with each other. Big ol’ vampire warrior catpile.
