I'm just here, going to tell those who need to hear it that just 5 years ago I wanted to stop pursuing a career in the arts. I didn't get any jobs, less that 1k followers on IG, nothing really 'worked'... until #mermay 2016 & something clicked 1/2
2/2 since then self-published #FaeriesoftheFaultlines, re-release June @eyeofnewt_books , work for Wizards of the Coast, created a course for @schoolism, illustrated the Dark Crystal Bestiary, spoke at many industry events, do gallery shows, work for ace clients & more 2 come
what I'm saying is that if you feel like you're never ever going to make it, like you continue to scream into the void (read https://www.muddycolors.com/2021/01/keep-screaming-into-the-void/) KEEP GOING.... you might just be on that threshold!!!!
and I'll be here, cheering you on and celebrating your persistence
Also don’t think it happened overnight, I was 37 & had tried to break into the industry countless of times before & was about to just say “well that’s it, it won’t ever happen” & move on.
