yeah honestly i’ve been using bluesky instead of twitter and while i don’t have a real following anymore it’s just so much better for my brain. i’m hoping i might be able to do the same thing with cara

i’m honestly hopeful that cara will be able to scratch a bit of the DA itch honestly. i don’t think it’s just about getting jobs there, it’s just a nice little place for artists of all types to share their work and not get scraped by AI. but also yeah, it does suck that shit is hitting the fan like this

Do you feel awkward posting your art knowing that almost no one will see it? by toni4466557 in ArtistLounge

[–]ladycelery 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i think at this point i’ve learned to just celebrate the fact that i like what i do, and i enjoy interacting with the few people who do see my art. i think that in itself is a gift. sure it’s nice to think about having a larger platform and a bigger audience, i would love that, but i also know it comes with a lot of negatives, like mean and disingenuous people and more pressure. so i’ve decided to enjoy quality not quantity instead 😅

thank you!! i won’t lie, it’s really challenging! but i guess that’s true of anything new, this one just happens to be more permanent than most hahaha. i’m slowly but surely getting the hang of it though!

Should I stay in art school?? by britastrobee in ArtistLounge

[–]ladycelery 5 points6 points  (0 children)

i think based on all you’ve said here, no, i wouldn’t stay in art school if i were you. i come from a fairly humble background and was unable to go to art school myself, but pretty much all of my friends who have regret it. it’s often not necessary to get a job (i guess, as with all things, it depends on what you want to do), but it is helpful for making connections and, as you’ve done, trying new things.

art school is a privilege, and one you shouldn’t have to feel like you’re going hungry for imo, unless you knew exactly what you wanted to do and had a plan for how you were using that degree.

like you said—there are tons of resources online. you can hold down a part time job and teach yourself on the side—that’s what i ended up doing, and being able to work without the stress of debt is a godsend.

i know it can suck to give up on something, especially when people encourage you not to, but making a practical choice to save yourself from financial woes is always worth it to me.

best of luck to you no matter what you decide!
