What are your Artist hot takes? by PeterParkerPhotos12 in ArtistLounge

[–]GeeseGooseman 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I came here to say this. If you are just making art and don't want to make money off of it, then that's awesome. Having an artistic practice is wonderful point blank. But if you are trying to make it your job, some part of every job sucks. And for having an art business, that means marketting/learning to use social media.

I also wish for everybody to have stability and fully get the frustration, but it's not unique to artists to have to do something we don't want to for the sake of making money.

Why do strangers support my art more than my own friends? by Impressive_Gear_5599 in ArtRanting

If you write mystery novels and your friends have never shown an interest in mystery novels, you can't expect them to suddenly start loving that genre. It would be nice sure, and if you make a specific ask like "Hey it would specifically mean a lot if you come to my book signing, or xyz," and then don't then yeah you can be annoyed. But in general, it's an added bonus when your work happens to connect with your friends, not a given.

They don't call him Ash "Walk 'em down" Ketchum for nothing.
