mom told me just now that i should maybe pursue art 😑 girl dont remind me that its secretly my dream to live that hashtag aesthetic artist who sells prints and can live off that full time and own a house like…. sigh idk i dont want to be defeatist like ill never know unless i try and i do plan on trying and maintaining a small art career. hashtag side hustle small business. but like unless i somehow get a gazillion sales we have to be realistic and understand its not that feasible. doesnt mean i dont want it tho….

#‘silas what are you talking about. cite your sources’ im like if addie best studio on instagram was masc. okay you see the vision? #honestly like she gets me i fucking love lino printing and i love folk art. she issss one of my biggest inspirations #i also fuck with leigh ellexson even tho i only like her paintings and not her illustrations butttt the vibes are nice #anyways im thinking of opening an online shop posthaste… been thinking about it for years but shipping scares meeee #but like. im a damn printmaker i cant just have an edition of 30 prints laying around my house that’s valuable real estate in my little room #so idk stay tuned for that. hard to feel encouraged that youll make sales when you get like 15 likes on instagram per post #and never done commissions and only sold a handful of items at the only market ive been to #like doesnt give a guy hope. but we power through. #sorry this sounds to depressingggg im fine i just think about it sometimes and my mom reminded me that i couldve gone that route. #i mean i still can #but im happy with a multitude of careers which is why im studying other things. so its okay
