I hate how us artists put pressure on ourselves to constantly improve--we must get better and better or we're failures.
We drew with reckless abandon as children. Whatever came out we loved cuz WE made it. I want that back for us. Art doesn't have to be good, love it anyway.

Resolutions can lead to guilt
So instead, I remind you:
Start as you mean to go on.
Also: it’s never too late to start.
Lastly: Make Bad Art.
Mole god original sketch by Megan Whalen Turner. “Make Bad Art” addition inspired by Oftheides on Geninsula. Embroidery by me.

once you realize that life really isn’t that serious, it gets so much better. like im serious. im well aware there are a million posts and sayings just like this, but it’s true. I used to be so crippled by the worry of what other people thought of me (granted i still struggle at times) but once you realize that nothing matters. it’s so freeing. like yeah. maybe that person thinks you dress weird. or that you have a funny hairstyle. or a million other things. who cares??? you’re never gonna see them again! you get one life! live it! be weird! be yourself! be authentic! who cares?? once i started looking at life as this one experience, i wanted it to be a great one. no more caring what other people think. doing things because i want to and because i like them. someone thinks my plushies are childish? who cares? they make me happy. they’re mine. i love them. why should someone else dictate what i do with my life. it’s mine for a reason. i don’t tell you what to do with yours, don’t tell me what to do with mine. once you start living like you’re stuck in a studio ghibli movie, life gets 100% more bearable, enjoyable even. i used to be stuck in such a self-deprecating, depressing, anxious cycle. now? yeah i still have those moments, but they’re smaller and more manageable. because i know. life is full of so many beautiful things. and if i need to indulge in my inner child to get through the day, then i will. i implore you. do the same.

I know a lot of artists want to quit because of AI bullshit, but if anything it's fueling me out of spite to create more cringe, unmarketable art, music, and writing. Fuck being marketable. Fuck making merch. Fuck AI.
In the spirit of being unmarketable, feel free to download this and print it and hang it next to your workspace if you'd like a reminder.

I've recently became an artistpreneur and it's wild. But mostly fun too.
Shout-out to my fellow small business owners! It's great but it's super challenging 😅
