I feel like there’s such pressure for creatives of all types to “make a name for themselves”, constantly be promoting and using all the right hashtags. Who cares? What if you just wanna make paintings for fun without monetary gain or fame in mind? What if you wanna make youtube videos just as a personal diary instead of becoming a “content creator” or “influencer”? What if you just enjoy making logos instead of wanting to be a career freelance designer who spends every waking moment keeping up to date on design trends? Maybe your goal is to make money and become popular for your art, and that’s great, go for it! But I think it’s just as valid to enjoy art for arts sake, and not feel a need to worry about posting it consistently and appeasing your followers.

Making art is fun and it doesn't need to be branded or monetized in order to be a success! Create just to create!!!! Not everything needs monetary value to be valuable!!!!!

✏️There is such pressure to make art that will satisfy the algorithm or the world at large but there is nothing virtuous about that sort of creation I think. Making art that your friends will like though? There is no better feeling.

😃make shit because you like it idk also understand that making a consistent liveable income off art is p hard, not in a discouraging way though more of a "i'm free to make what i want because i'm not obligated to do it for anybody but myself" type of way. or instead of trying to be marketable and viewing it as a monetary thing, think of how you can connect and resonate with people emotionally and make that your goal instead. sorry if this is shit advice idk
