do you think the obsession with ‘style consistency’ in online art communities is mostly caused by this idea that your art style needs to be easily marketable & recognizable as a brand (especially when you’re working as a freelancer). i see the /least/ amount of progress in my art whenever i try to aim for style consistency. i don’t know exactly where i’m going with this but i think there’s some sort of connection between trying to monetize/market your art & limiting your growth as an artist. and i think it’s very sad.

When I walked through the park yesterday morning I looked up at the surrounding buildings and in the shadows of the sun, against the blue sky, the man working on the roof there looked like a seated Sphinx.

I confess, I tend to feel bad about my art and my productivity. Like : Look !! These artists are doing it !! Why can't you !! But then I go back into my previous work/projects of the year and realize wow ! no ! that's my ADHD brain talking !!

Thinking about working out...

In the halls of the museum, under the skylights, two figures from another time, apart, gaze longingly at each other. And the stones would shudder and turn to flesh, before such yearning eyes...

i think not a single word you write is ever wasted. i think your unfinished stories taught you more than you know, i think your notebook margins are full of doodles and every one of them has meaning, every scrap and perpetual work in progress lives inside your heart. art is not ever “wasted” just because you put effort into something that’s not suitable for mass consumption. there is value inherent in the act of creation!
