Artist

I had never considered myself an artist like I do now until approximately February 2025 when I applied for funding and received it. The gentlemen that thought of the idea while in college (amazing) is someone that is so very interesting. I was looking on the web page for information about the funding and I noticed my name with artist in front of it. I stopped and looked and my heart smiled. People like that are few and far between in this crazy world. A breath of fresh air if you will 😃

do you know that tristan reveur quote about bad art? he says, "bad art is more tragically beautiful than good art because it documents human failure."

I think I'm about to give up on the artist dream and just... what? Well, what else can I do? It's not like I have any useful skills or a degree that isn't horribly specific. And without the urge to improve my portfolio beyond the mediocre, I'm never going to get an art job.

I'm only 21, and I feel like I've got no options left but to go work in a shop for the rest of my life. Ugh.
