We really need to discuss how people treat artists as human printers, and those that can work fast are not " inspirational", they are overworked and die young. It's a fact. And when we remind people, we are cast aside for AI now. It's fucked up.

"Where's the renaissance quality of paintings now?" It went down the drain when people asked what those artists made in several years, in 3 days.I am not kidding you when I HAVE to turn round corners and overlook flaws in my work because people have no patience nowadays AND I have Spondylarthritis and Crohn's disease. People don't care, they want everything, AND -NOW-, inflamed tendons, permanent damage and calcified joints be damned.

How many artists needs to die before society gets a wake up call?

PSA real quick: Don’t buy art advice

I’m not talking about art tutorials or like supporting a tier on someone’s patreon to get feedback or stuff like that, that’s a different thing. This is also not about going to art school.

What I am talking about is stuff like online courses and books that people sell on topics like secrets to growing your art instagram, making loads of passive money off your work, stuff like that. It’s fake.

I’ve seen a disturbing amount of them appear which is why I’m making this PSA. There is no secret to growing your art instagram or making passive money off your art or kickstarting your freelance carreer. If the tips are legit, it’s out there for free if you look for it. We are already talking about it because we’re already doing it. People making these courses and selling these books are only sharing stuff you can already google yourself. These people are rarely making their livings as artists themselves, instead they’re just doing the art world version of get rich quick schemes, they’re praying on your passions and selling you advice that is either already publicly available, unhelpful or even just false.

I’ll give you some advice for free, kay?

Improving your art:

First and foremost working on improving your art should always be priority and you can find tutorials on any subject matter for free pretty much anywhere if you just google stuff like “how to draw a cloud”. Your art is what people will want to buy/see so keep improving it and keep making it if your goals is to build a carreer or an audience, there is no way around it.

Growing your audience

Straight up just engage with whichever app/site you’re using. Post good art yourself, but be a cheerleader for others first and foremost. Post consistently, not constantly, use appropriate tags, talk about your work in your descriptions and engage with people who engage with you. That stuff is in your control, the rest is honestly just luck. For some people it takes a long time, for others it’s a faster progress, there is no secret here, no one knows how to please the algorithm, we’re all just throwing crumbs out and hoping it gets eaten. Bots and promo bots will do more harm than good and spamming other people’s accounts asking them to check you out or tagging someone in your art that’s completely unrelated to them is just annoying. Just chill and post your art and have fun. Remember that social media should ‘t be a popularity contest, it should be social.

Making money

There are so many ways! I don’t even know half the ways and it depends what you want to achieve really. You can make money selling commissions, you can try to get a job at some sort of company, at which there are many who’d want to employ artists, games, films, animation, marketing, marketing departments in companies that otherwise do completely unrelated stuff, I’ve heard of an artist working fulltime at a science lab. There is room for you, you just need to find your industry. You can also license your work which is where the passive income comes in and there are a bunch of ways to do this too google it. You can be an illustrator for books or magazines, you can be a cartoonist for a paper, you can do logos or t-shirt designs and you can work freelance as pretty much whatever you want. It’s not going to be easy finding these jobs and most people do several jobs at once. It takes time to build up clientell and find your opportunities but a good place to start is straight up just googling “how to license my art” or “how to become a concept artist” or just straight up “how to make money as an artist.” It’s all out here.

I don’t have all the answers at hand and I’m too busy looking for all the resources for you. I bet other people will happily provide links and stuff, so feel free to share resources! My point id just this:

Everything is out there for free, google it.

True glitz and glamour avoids the exploitation of other beings as much as humanly possible. It's better to seek out small creators who handcraft and intentionally source their materials (or DIY!). That's what it means to be in a culture where art is no longer respected — people no longer place much thought into how things end up in their hands (purchases are ego-centric). Great art carries good karma and it truly sparks the soul alight. That's why art makes the world go round.

Clio Art Fair Reviews - Celebrating a Decade of Innovation: The Remarkable Journey

Within the ever-evolving domain of contemporary art, which huge blue-chip companies frequently dominate, the Clio Art Fair Reviews shines as a beacon of inclusion and innovation. This event has questioned the traditional sense of elitism in the art industry, which was initiated back in 2014, offering a stage for individual artists to showcase their skills. The upcoming remarkable installment of the Clio Art Fair is set to occur in Chelsea in May, building excitement as it nears its milestone year that many have been eagerly awaiting.

Encouragement of Up-and-Coming Capabilities

For years, the Clio Art Fair has given emerging artists a vital forum to showcase their work. Clio allows artists to shape modern art by recognizing diversity and uniqueness. Clio's stages have been graced by renowned visionaries such as Vito Acconci, Borinquen Gallo, and Erol Gundoz, who have shared their ground-breaking works with an audience from all around the world.

Advocates for the Rights of Independent Artists

Clio has achieved the reputation of being a pioneer in the art industry because of her commitment to inclusiveness. She has been known to challenge the current quo and reshape the narrative of contemporary art.

A Significant and Revolutionary Influence

In addition to the annual displays that it hosts, the Clio Art Fair Reviews has a significant impact. Clio has become a driving force in determining the future of modern art because it was able to provide artists with a platform on which they could present their work and engage with a wider audience. A lively and diverse artistic landscape that connects both artists and art lovers alike has been assisted in fostering by its collaborative approach and commitment to diversity, which have both contributed to the development of this landscape.

The Clio Art Fair is marking a decade of existence, an achievement that underscores its growing impact in the art world. Clio remains dedicated to nurturing emerging artists and challenging the boundaries of art every year. Although we are excitedly anticipating the next iteration of the Clio Art Fair, there is one certain thing - the impact that it has will continue to affect the future of the art world for many years to come.

Conclusion Clio Art Fair has evolved into a centre for artists working independently, disrupting the exclusivity found in the art scene and reshaping the story of modern art. Clio stands as a symbol of the impact of inclusivity and commitment in nurturing a varied artistic community marking its milestone tenth anniversary simultaneously.

Yeah the whole business is stressful and demeaning but I think the real reason I'll never make it as a Graphic Designer is because I never believed in a singular design aesthetic or movement enough to defend it. I grew up messing around with early 3D and grunge and when people told me that was overdone and ugly I shrugged and did some minimalism. Then the hipsters came and told me that was boring and I needed some natural textures. Did that for a while. Experimented with Nouveau like everyone does and nobody really cared. If any style ever spoke to me it was that mid 2010's Techno/dada/Post-modern I never got the name of, but anytime I dabbled with that everyone screamed it was hideous. I didn't bother explaining that that's kinda the point, just shrugged and did their hipster aesthetic or minimalism or retro-pop instead. "That's a terrible design!"

"Huh, if you say so."

If I've learned anything from a decade-ish in the industry it's that design only matters in a finite set of circumstances anyway. Ugly labels sell more product than sleek trendy ones all the time. The only people that the latest design trends market too is other designers or art snobs, and most of them just want to tell you all the reasons your design is bad, actually.

Why Dave Rapoza left Magic: The Gathering (it’s AI)

To anyone who still doesn’t understand why artist are upset and why we don’t like AI generators. Here is a good chat between two people in the art industry. Or to anyone who wants to listen to fellow artist talk about life now in a calm manure.

fact: Vincent Van Gogh painted over 200 pieces of artwork, but only sold a handful of his works during his lifetime. He committed suicide at only 37 years old, and now his paintings have been sold for millions and are loved around the world. Why didn’t he get the same love for his art during his life? Because he was alive. Art doesn’t become a novelty unless it can no longer be created. Once we are gone, our work becomes exclusive and limited. This is the fate of the artist; I can only hope that my paintings will outlive me.

why do some people comfortable flirting with their artists or confessing their feelings for them when you had nothing before but professional relationships before.

imagine you'll roll your balls up to some cashier. like, sir, you literally paying me to work for you, we're not even friends, I'm supposed to be nice to you because it's customer service but that doesn't mean I'm comfortable with launching into friendship right away.

sure there's ways to make it right and avoid this weird ass dynamic, but most of the people have no fucking idea how to do that properly.

I have a few of my commissioners who I almost consider friends, because they respect my boundaries and I think it's possible for us to be friends, but it's really not often stuff like this happens.

I had a commissioner who very trying to flirt with me and confessed their love to me few years ago and you have no idea how uncomfortable this is when your income literally depends on how much they like the service and overall. It's very hard to establish your discomfort in this dynamic.

Now this thing happened again with someone who's very dear to me and it's so crushing to see him go through the same shit as I did.

please be fucking decent to your artists. if you want to make friends with them be appropriate.

just saw a post from a famous artist I met once through a really toxic friend. Glad to see she's still doing her thing. Her fame mostly happened after we met, as far as I know. Wonder if she remembers meeting me. She drew me once, with my other three close friends, after spending the week with us. I was super flattered. I still am. I liked her a lot. I helped her get a train ticket back home, and then a few years later she and the toxic friend cancelled me in a microcosm for doing that silly blackberry art contest for Neil Gaiman. Because it was undervaluing the work of artists and I was betraying the creative working class or whatever. I don't care—the art I did for it was shitty anyway because I was a student and it was at least 3 more years before I crawled far enough out of the sludge of religious repression to wonder what beauty was. I don't think doing art for nothing (but fun & attention) is a crime against other artists, either. These days companies don't even need to stage contests to steal the products of our labor with AI generators. Anyway, I'm glad I painted what I did instead of appeasing her. I wouldn't do it today because people do pay me for art now, but I'd just like to take a moment to look back and appreciate that me entering some crappy student illustrations in a corporate contest did not, in fact, irreparably destabilize the art industry.

whew.
