    HOW TO FEEL MISERABLE AS AN ARTIST

    Journal Entry: Tue Jul 22, 2008, 9:02 PM
    as written by Keri Smith. [link]
    HOW TO FEEL MISERABLE AS AN ARTIST.
    or what not to do

    1. CONSTANTLY COMPARE YOURSELF TO OTHER ARTISTS.
    2. TALK TO YOUR FAMILY ABOUT WHAT YOU DO AND EXPECT THEM TO CHEER YOU ON.
    3. BASE THE SUCCESS OF YOUR ENTIRE CAREER ON ONE PROJECT.
    4.STICK WITH WHAT YOU KNOW.
    5. UNDERVALUE YOUR EXPERTISE.
    6.LET MONEY DICTATE WHAT YOU DO.
    7. BOW TO SOCIETAL PRESSURES.
    8. ONLY DO WORK THAT YOUR FAMILY WOULD LOVE.
    9. DO WHATEVER THE CLIENT/CUSTOMER/GALLERY OWNER/PATRON/INVESTOR ASKS.
    10. SET UNACHIEVABLE/OVERWHELMING GOALS. TO BE ACCOMPLISHED BY TOMORROW (or whatever due date you set for yourself)

    im like guilty of all of those.

    what about you??/]

    Yep. Pretty much guilty of all of those. X] (except that my family is fairly supportive of my art)

    aha me too its funny though- i havent shown off my work as much as i used to with them so they think im still in the stone ages with my art... like i'll sketch something that took a couple minutes and they think it shows the great improvement. that or they just dont see it XD
    ~Silverkestrel:iconSilverkestrel: Jul 24, 2008, 8:11:27 PM
    Haha, I'm surprised you wouldn't show them more, your stuff is great. I'm just embarrased to show my stuff to anyone I know. XD

    aww thanks, what i do show them i am partially embarrased...like theyre judgeing me...or they just dont understand whats happening.. XD
    and you should show off your work, you take great care into what you do. im glad you have deviantart!
    ~Silverkestrel:iconSilverkestrel: Jul 25, 2008, 8:18:31 PM
    Right, cause your art usually goes deeper than just what you see. And thanks, that really means a lot. <=]

    I'm terribly guilty of number five but the others not so much (or not at all).
