ok i know i come off as all braggy about how “easy” my job is but it’s really not. maybe in some aspects it is? but it was def not an easy climb. https://twitter.com/sleepypixiee/status/1298529143357808640
i remember crying because no one wanted to buy my paintings i priced at max php300 haha. Then creating all kinds of hustles, selling my old clothes and books, painting portraits for 50php. yeah.
I literally gave up my passion for traditional art because digital art was what was “in”, and spent 2 years underpricing my art and getting little to no clients. all this while my family had little faith in me and manipulated me to stay away from art related courses.
my family also wasn’t particularly happy i raised 21k for charity last month. idk why exactly but i guess part of them refuses to believe i can make money and decide where to spend it.
all this while i paid for my own shit. bills. clothes. everything i order online. as it should be (?) this year my 3yo earphones broke and i bought my own airpods. this year i’m also going to buy my own phone since my current one’s busted. eyeing the iphone 12 pro
my job isnt easy money. it’s not like i make 7k in a day everyday. sometimes it’s a whole ass 20k in a day and sometimes it’s nothing for a whole month. magaling lang ako magipon kase wala akong choice lol
idk what this thread achieved honestly i think i just wanted this off my chest. i hate that a lot of people think i’m just another spoiled rich kid. maybe at some point of my life i was but they cut me off pretty early. anyway dont shit on artists life is hard as one haha xoxo
