Something triggered me today and to work on it i did, what helps me best: push the feeling on a canvas.
I want to remind, me, that i want to stay in the light. I deserve the light. That i am enough the way i am and i am allowed to shine pride.

That is where i stay: in the light.

My #artistalley prints arrived and they're so pretty 🥹
Moo.com never disappoints me in print quality things (not sponsored, I love them genuinely)

I just sorted them and all three minutes i get nervous that probably nobody will buy any 🙃 I have mostly original art for them and I know people prefer fanart - but german cons are pretty strict about that.

Me: I really like how this drawing came out, I kinda want to show to around
Also me: to post it on social media I have to turn on my pc, clean the scan up, save it for web, make a post, put an alt tag in, think of hashtags

- never posts shit -

Selling physical artworks makes no sense if you compare it to the software industry or even to real estate investing where most profits come in the form of rent, not ownership transfer. Leasing artworks instead of selling them appears to be the logical solution but it's not very practical yet. I'm looking for ways to standardize this practice. One aspect would be to use a well-known, battle-tested lease contract similar to the well-known free software licenses (GPL, BSD, ...). Any pointers or suggestions? I want to end artist exploitation.

Maybe it was good that i talked to my friend and mentor @gioguima cause i think her input and friendly convincing to look at a project with fresh eyes made me actually get somewhere:

I still hate doing Vektor graphics though

Good news on the #clipstudiopaint front and their plains to implement existing #Ai into their program.

They listened to their Core base...and stopped the plans.

I am very relieved.

I tried to do it by only looking at the photo. But i still do not know how to work with the rulers in Clipart studio. So i had to do it somewhat just by guessing...and i guessed the perspective wrong. I tried to adapt the shape...but messed up the proportions so it doesn't look remotely like a Bully.

My basics are somewhat...shit XD

Dear Dairy, i call it a day for today. I somehow wasn't able to reach people with my art today and though i promised myself to not let days like this get to me, i am also on my period and thus a little emotional fragile.

There are days with more communication and interaction and i need to cherish them, instead if mourning the others.

Tomorrow is a new start.

Good Morning, Nimmerland!

#Vikisdairy
First time in four days i don't feel ill. My body does not cope well with the "wintertime", and being up early already takes spoons away.
But today i slept in and feel ready to takle some art. Yay!

Fühle mich heute zum ersten Mal seit Tagen nicht kränklich. Früh aufstehen war schon immer ein Schlag gegen meine Gesundheit, aber heute habe ich ausgeschlafen. Heute werd ich rumkünstlern!

Today i see so many high skilled professionals new in the Server TL.
I start to get a bit intimidated.

I get spooked by this easily and my imposter syndrome knocks at the door.

But i tell myself: it is ok. Head up, pencil out and don't let that bring you down. You ca do this! You are enough

I just wanted to share this so that others see: you are not alone and it is ok. 🙂

Ah, I'm feeling *inspired* today! ✨Inspired!✨ Yes! About time. I was feeling down for days now, I might be getting over that soon! #artistLife #artistStruggle #artistProblems

I think I may have decided today I won't do it and I need a different solution. Or I'll just stick with my current super small studio in the basement.

I had a similar situation done years ago when I rented a co-working office with a person I had a strange feeling about. Turned out they were never in the office and only wanted to use my various skills, especially my psychological knowledge (got a degree in that) for free.

I learned my lesson.

So, small update... There was this artist I met. We met again last week, and it's difficult. I wanted to rent the studio above hers, but things really need to click for me to do this. I... fear they won't, not entirely. She's very sweet. But also in some respects a bit... entitled perhaps? She takes things for granted I still consider a luxury.
Also there's the fact she *loves* Martenstein, a conservative columnist that often makes fun of "SJWs". 😫 #artistStruggle

Preparing entries for two new art contests. Still not at 20 this year. #artistStruggle #artistLife
