I hail from dA. [current sn is "amosa"] Sometimes i have self esteem issues about my art, but don't let it stop me from creating. Everyone probably does though, at least once in their lives. I think doubt is very much related to making art, doubt and determination!!!
I've been doin' this art thing since age 3, i do fine art along side illustration, but it gets confusing sometimes because the art world is so set on dividing the two genres. You're either an illustrator, or a fine artist they say. You can't be both, apparently, and be taken seriously. D: gagh.
I think that people are amazing. They have this awesome capacity to do wonderful things for others, for strangers, and the complexity of human thought is mind-blowing! We're all so weird.
So the world has been thinking green for how many years? Yet the earth as a whole has more water than land. We know so much about the world that we can easily see, but when it comes to the ocean, it looks like no one cares. But imagine the world without the ocean- why, we would be living on Mars! Scratch that, we wouldn't be living.
Life Support System- that's the ocean, and it needs just as much attention, (if not more!) than it's greener counterpart.
