I think your work is really cool! You seem to have a good sense of color and composition.
I know it's hard sometimes. But if you love it, it's worth the struggle. As my awesome grandma used to say:
When the going gets tough, the tough get going.

getting your art out there? well your doin' it right now. you can take a class at a community college if for nothing else just for networking. try to organize artists in your area. go to where you wanna be. if you wanna be in a gallery start going to openings at that gallery. if you want to do album covers try to land an internship at a local record label. get business cards made. get a job at a local art supply store. organise your own opening. what ever you do networking is key. good luck.

no problem :) ...btw, I can really relate to your statement about working and still being poor and still living at home with your parents, when all you really wanna do is work on art and your "do people really listen" blog. I pretty much in the same boat myself. I don't mind so much the poor part...I just wish I had enough to get my own place and live comfortable

true! well i'm glad that someone actually read my blog. that's great! times are hard and no matter how good you try to be to others for some reason bad luck always wants to be your best friend. well i still have hope for whatever reason and i'm very thankful for that. i hope things get better for you and that you end up where you wanna be.

thanks for those words. i understand that i have a lot and i am thankful for that, but things have been going wrong for a long time and i just want to be able to make a living with my art so that i can take care of my family. amazingly, i still have hope and i am extremely grateful for that. i really hope that things get a little bit better so that i can end up where i want to be. things will get better... thanks again for your words and i hope everything is going good for you.;)
