@Oma_Trisha shhhhh I'm trying to inspire myself. Your right ofc, but it's not a full stop unless I do. I'm just happy to be in a stable enough place to have bills again. Its difficult to find inspo to keep going, when the end goal seems un reachable, so in this little exercise I can imagine my goal as well as design steps of things I can do in the moment that are aligned with that goal.
I’m trying to regain a belief that I can resume doing some artwork but what weighs me down is the lack of interest and orders I get for my work. And I know the adage of “making money shouldn’t be why you make art” buuuut they’re dependent on one another in order for this goal to continue.
So, I guess the question I have for myself is, “What steps can I make in this moment?”
@see_the_sus @Oma_Trisha I know it's hard to make art for yourself (sorce=am artist) but making creative things for stupid non money reasons is really great for keeping art blocks at bay, and your skills up. You can always sell it later if you get tired of it. What's your medium?
I'm a photographer and I’ve had my art on this site for all most 15 years.
I do edit photos for my own pleasure and to keep learning but all too often, as I’m working, I start to feel frustration, disappointment, etc
