Making and sharing art feels dumb but I’m doing it anyways.
I know I’m not alone. I know all my creatives out there are feeling this way. Why does posting art feel so trite?
Maybe it’s because it’s getting harder and harder to summon any sort of motivation to create when the world around us feels like it’s being fuelled by hatred, fear, and malice. And the few “in charge” are just fanning the flames.
But maybe posting a dumb art post is a small way to connect. And that feels like the only thing that matters anymore - community. So here is something I made. I feel dumb sharing it because I’m sad and I’m angry and scared. And I’m not sure what to do. And if you feel this way too, maybe there’s a small comfort in knowing at least we’re not alone in it. ❤️
