I were fired 1 year ago and still looking for a job as graphic designer. I've tried many things. I studied art on high school and university for 15 years. I am not the best presenting himself. I left my sculpting and artist dreams behind. I am 33 years old. I fed up trying to be an artist with no respect and no money. People expects too much labor with no morale. I just want be a retire as graphic designer from a goddam company after 20 years. Money, marketing and trends rules the earth. I am very unhappy from the way i choose now. When i was younger it was ok but i can not continue without any support now. I don t want to spend any of my cents and time for art now. It's better investing them into cryptomarket. Art costs to much for me.
Sorry for telling these.
Don't apologize. I appreciate the open words!
I know how it is... but you shouldn't give up listening to your heart. Too many of us fall under the pressures of the materialistic reality and the existential struggle under crony capitalism. And that's exactly why the problems persist.
I know it sounds silly, and faced with the daily struggle it often seems pointless, but do something for your soul every now and then, without it, you will become grey and wither away... even if you could afford all the modern comforts
Thank you whoever you are.
Actually, I'm @fraenk ;)
