Figured I should probably get round to posting ACen pictures~

So um, THANK YOU TO EVERYONE WHO CAME TO MY TABLE, BOUGHT PRINTS/BUTTONS/COMMISSIONS OR JUST LOOKED AROUND. And to those who asked for business cards too ahaha I really should’ve printed some out orz

But yeah, despite the stress and the overwhelming-ness of it all, I had a great time! I made a lot of new amazingly artistic friends, caught up with old ones, and just had a ton of fun u v u

I’m not sure if I’ll be alleying again next year—I kind of want to go as a regular attendee and just hang around at panels, but we’ll see.

(the first picture is from Friday when I forgot to put up the Fairy Tail print LOL FUCK)

I had so much fun meeting you! :D

ME TOO <3333 I HOPE WE CAN STAY IN TOUCH AND MEET UP AGAIN AT ACEN NEXT YEAR

My friend Isaac has the most gorgeous hands I have ever seen, and I am completely enamored of them. The day I met him he promised to let me draw them, and I finally got to last weekend.

◢ Sunday morning art rant

juliedillon:

I’ve been thinking lately.. While it is important to an artist’s growth to learn from others and listen to critique and try new things, not everything everyone tells you is gospel. Even if a critique is coming from a teacher or industry professional. Not everything they tell you is written in stone, or will work for you, or is the best solution for what you want to do. And just because someone is in a position of authority doesn’t mean you need to completely change who you are or what you do to suit their opinion. Now, this isn’t to say that you should never listen to people, especially while in art school - it’s difficult to learn and grow as an artist without outside input from people who have more experience or even just a fresh perspective, and when you are starting out you should make use of whatever resources you can. You always want to be open to new ideas and perspectives. But, it’s also okay to disagree with people. While the vast majority of critique and guidance I’ve received over the years has been incredibly valuable, I’ve realized that some of the things my professors insisted upon just flat out were counterproductive; some of the things some industry professionals told me to do weakened rather than strengthened my work. But since they were in positions of relative power and authority, I was afraid to trust my own judgement. Sometimes it feels like there’s so much pressure as an artist to listen to every single critique and take every opinion into account, like they automatically are more important than your own, no matter what. But sometimes you need to listen to your gut and do what you want, regardless of whether or not it’s what other artists think you need to do. Look at critique objectively, and decide for yourself if you really want to steer yourself in the direction dictated. Filter what does and doesn’t work for you. It’s okay to say “Thank you very much for your input, but I like it the way it is,” or “That’s not where I want to go with my art/career/etc.” It’s okay to say No.

(Note: probably a lot of you are like, “well, no shit,” but for someone like me who is overly credulous and full of self-doubt, I have to keep reminding myself of this kind of thing so I don’t drop everything and change anytime someone disagrees with me) >_>
