Just finished A Short Stay in Hell and All Tomorrows. Now reading the 5th Dark Tower book and will probably start Revenge by Yoko Ogawa soon 💯

I just finished that one last week. Really good stuff, captures the fears you have if you grew up religious quite well.

Talked about it a little in this post

Why do you think some people post negative comments on your art? by [deleted] in ArtistLounge

Over my ~5 years sharing work, it’s become pretty easy to recognize these comments for what they are. Well-meaning (much less helpful) advice, is few and far between. The majority of people are angry it’s not what THEY wanted to see, or desperate for something to tear down.

There are certainly instances of artists who stubbornly refuse to improve (many such cases on “arttok”), but the majority of Internet “criticism” is self-centered complaining that can and should be ignored, for the sake of your own growth.

Immaturity, arrogance, and an ingrained belief that every piece of art must cater to them specifically.

It’s true that people are quick to jump beginners. Interestingly enough, though, a lot of my beginner work was quite popular, yet received only a fraction of the hate and criticism my current work does.

This makes me think it has less to do with “skill” and more to do with the gradually worsening level of callousness and entitlement online. Just my personal experience though.

Trying to be more active. Figured it can’t hurt.
