#artists on social media
“Your art isn’t valued by the number of notes you get” okay but. If you spent 6 hours baking a cake for a party, but no one at the party eats your cake, it’s still disappointing.
This articulates something about the different between value and validation that I didn’t previously register on a conscious level.
This is why I tell people I feel more like an entertainer than an artist.
I want to hear them laugh, chat, comment, speak, roar, cry, get irrationally angry, I need people to respond to my art and get inspired and need more.
I don’t want a note, I want a response.
Responses are very nice. I like reading over them. They make me feel fuzzy. Of course, likes and reblogs are also very appreciated, but responses make me feel a special kinda fuzzy.
Just gonna shamelessly @ you, @lilybug-02
Oh pfffsh. Thanks .^.
Very excited to have done these character cards for Parker Peevyhouse’s new futuristic thriller, STRANGE EXIT - the first 100 copies of the book purchased through Hicklebees will come with a free set of these cards!
