Never Give Up!!!!!!! - AAAH WILLIAM whenever you talk about your freelance art adventures I relate so much to what you’ve been saying. I’m so nervous about going out into the world and graduation is a little more than a year away from me now. I’m kind of worried about whether I’ll ever get a stable art career, because pursuing my own projects/stories has always been more of what I’ve wanted, I just don’t know if it’s enough to support me! Welp, looks like I might be joining you in the artistic bohemian life soon.

YEAH FOR REAL… I mean you should know it’s probably not as scary as it seems; like as long as you have family and friends and nto a drinking problem you probably wont die, and as long as you don’t die then there’s hope, ha ha ha.

But it’s tough when you have stuff you want to do but you’re not popular enough to sell it yourself, you can’t get published, and you can’t seem to get hired at a studio because you spent too much time on your own stuff instead of getting an internship or whatever. I try to keep the career in the back of my head to keep me working hard, but most of the time I try to keep up front friendship, and the things I enjoy, and whatever it is I have to do that day. And trees and bike rides. And just wanting to tell my stories because I believe in them and they get me excited.

Like, you don’t have to give up on wanting greatness to be happy, you just have to balance it properly, ha ha. Let’s glow brilliantly while we can.
