@ Walent - I found everything you said in your last post really relatable.
If money weren't a concern, I probably would not do art. Most likely I wouldn't develop any skill - and I think that would kill me more than any shitty day job might. Since I have to make money, looks like it's art, because I can list a thousand things I'd be miserable doing, and only a handful of things I'd be okay with. Seems like a poor motivation to do art, but it's mine and I just want to keep pushing because it feels good to make things.
I feel this too. Most of the time I have "brain fog" or plain old lethargy. It intensifies the feeling of indecision on which direction in art I'm supposed to be going. Part of this is because I neglect exercise the other part of it I realize is an excuse to stay comfortably stagnate.
I enjoy looking through your stuff Walent. You definitely have a really cool voice.
