Art, life, etc.
I have this problem, wherein when I find an artist whose art is amazing and who I really admire and want to be like, and also who is very (deservedly) popular, I feel envious, and find myself thinking childish, unworthy thoughts, like "it's not fair! Why can't I be that good and talented and popular?"
The answer being, of course, "Because you hardly draw anymore and never post anything, dipshit."
So! It being the beginning of July, it seems a good time for a half year's resolution. My resolution is to draw every day and post something every week. By doing so, I will improve my abilities, channel that self-pity and other ugly feelings into something actually kind of cool, and actually get some mileage out of that DeviantArt account which I have so sorely neglected.
However, I know that if this is gonna work, it's gonna have to be in small steps, so while my goal right now includes posting to DA, and also my new tumblr because it's so dang easy, I'm gonna wait until the pattern is more established before I start trying to synch my DreamWidth and two LiveJournals up with the art that I post elsewhere. Because right now that's just too much like hard work. >_> So I expect my dry spell on the DW & LJ front will continue for a while longer. This is nothing at all against my friends here at DreamWidth and LiveJournal; I love you all so much. I just know myself, and I know that right now, the best way to make sure I keep posting art is to limit myself to those interfaces where it's easiest to do so. Baby steps.
But, if you do want to see what I post, you are more than welcome to check me out on DA (da-starbird) and on tumblr (singularnarrative). Love and peace, everybody!
