Sadly, I’ve been unable to fully sustain myself on selling my art.
Am I giving up? No, but I am starting a day job again soon.
The only thing that will change is how often I’m in gif threads and replying to shitposts.
I’m sharing because I think it’s important to share the good, bad, and messy sides of being a full-time artist.
I have new ideas for additional revenue streams besides NFTs and feel more creative without the pressure of wondering how I’ll pay my next mortgage payment.
I feel grateful that I can fall back on other skills, and honestly that I even had the opportunity to give being a full time artist a try.
The last 18 months have been about me, my art, and my healing journey and I wouldn’t change it for the world.
One day, I will quit that day job for good but for now, I’ll keep at it until that day comes.
P.S.
It helps that I’m excited about this new day job and looking forward to building there.
