Ever just see an art style that literally is so BRIGHT and HAPPY and GOOD that it brings you to tears, and then…
You look at your style and cry cause you wanna be motivated to be BETTER. To be RECOGNIZED as that light for someone else?
Inspiration is inspiration. It’s an infinite circle and can help encourage those who want to achieve more. I see so many artists, so many styles, and I get to MEET some of those people, I’m FRIENDS with some of those people, and there is nothing more inspiring than a “Hey how are you!” or even just a sweet “You made this look so good! You’re getting better!” that makes my heart swell, makes me grin like a dummy, and makes me wanna jump over the moon!
Cause the effort, the time, the sleepless nights, and the internal struggle of “DO BETTER” “TRY HARDER” gets noticed. Even in the lowest moments, where I think my art is garbage, where I think “I’m not getting better.” or “No one wants to see this…”, those words come back to me. Inspire me. Lift me.
So to all those struggling artists out there. You are good. You can be better. You are the only one who can say “I CAN DO THIS.” Don’t appeal to anyone but yourself! Because if you love your art, you love YOURSELF. And loving yourself is the most important part!
