Your posts on the angst many of us face daily, the passion we feel for our work and the (nasty)reality of having to ‘sell ourselves’really strikes home.
Keep up the great work with your art and your blog, and best of luck with your trip. Looking forward to your posts about it!
Happy Painting!

I do the same thing when I’m feeling nervous, so that’s why I used it! And thank you so much for sharing my art. It means a lot to me :)

Yay for reminding us that you have things to buy! I’m gonna go tweet about your beautiful art now.

We feel so ridiculous asking someone to – gasp! – give us money to do what we love. We’re already privileged enough to even be doing it right?

But like you said in your post (I read it yesterday) it’s hard to give it our all without the money that buys us that time & space.

One day we’ll figure it out. I believe in us. :)

That line gave me the best belly laugh, Sarah.

I just wrote a similar post in which I basically felt the need to apologize for asking for money in exchange for the books I’m writing.

Sad, isn’t it?
