Sent Rafayel an emoji, to which he replied with a voice note saying he couldn't answer due to his finger being stuck in glue or something?
I immediately imagined MC calling him while his hands are covered in paint, and he's trying his hardest to answer the phone without getting paint all over the screen. Strugglin for his life and knocking things over, he tries using his elbow to hold the phone in place and hit the answer button with the other. But he's just whining cause it keeps sliding around, missing the button completely.
Eventually, he tries using his nose and his tongue to hit the answer button 😂😂😂

The best thing about being an artist is that you can draw what you want. Until you can't draw it. Then it's horrible being an artist.

Ever just make an OC and you think they’ll just be a one-off character but then all of the sudden, whoop. You dive into the character to understand how they handle a situation you put them in, you help them succeed, develop their personality more than you planned and you’re just attached to your little baby now so you’ve got to see them grow and flourish and make it to the happy ending they deserve?

[Image ID: The Always Sunny “You guys ever been to Florida?” scene where Dennis answers “Been there? Not physically” edited to read “You guys ever work on your WIPs?” with Dennis labelled “Me” responding “Work on my WIPs? Not physically.” End Image ID]

Once again my art process is brought to a screaming, smoking halt by my coloring skills, which have not progressed in the past 12 years and may have in fact gotten worse.

On making a living as an artist
In a world where art and other creative pursuits should be an inspiring, honest and a direct reflection of our society, it is truly disheartening to realize that most mainstream artists come from some place of privilege. Whether it be racial, financial, social, or geographic, artists succeed not just from their skill alone, but from having the privilege to make enough sacrifices to pursue art as a full-time job. Even when you do find the right representation, it may feel as though you must sacrifice your independence and your voice as a trade for financial security. This can make you feel like you're alone, or just another piece in a system designed to exploit you for capitalistic gain.
Now, now, sweet artist. I know you may feel quite depressed after reading all this. It's hard not to. Part of these frustrations are why I'm here writing this in the first place : because I believe that these systems must change and our approaches to financial stability as artists must be more transparent.
I believe positive change comes from the transparency to know what it is that needs to change. For too long, our culture has resisted a more public conversation about personal finances. In many ways, this has enabled us to become a society that's content to embrace the outdated trope of the starving artist.
Let's change that.
