Great stuff as always, love those bears.
The thing that annoys me about you Meat, is that you already have the skills to be working professionally now, if you wanted, but you have no belief in yourself and you let your fears override everything else.

Get out of your own way mate. I know it sounds like a thing people say that means nothing, but having done it myself recently, I know how much I was standing in my own way and all it took was a shift in mindset.

And art isn't everything man, this crazy drive to make it, and feeling of unworthiness until you do is bullshit. Sure it feels pretty great once you are doing it I guess, but not so much that you should torture yourself constantly until you do. Ease up on yourself, believe and just get out there with your stuff!

Thank Amit... I don't like looking outside art skill because there aren't areas of my life that are better to look at besides my art skill. My relationship with family is distant at best, a few RL friends I barely see and always are steps away from clumsily stepping on their toes saying the wrong things, super crap at finding profession art job for self (not investing enough time to self-promote at the right places, so can be fixed...). I get that self-value is not pegged to just art skills and people relationship skills. I just honestly am not sure what else to look at, and becoming a Master at art is something I really would like to achieve, so I can paint all the wonders in this world without tripping over "I don't know how to paint trees!".

...I really need to take a few days to 1.) figure out how to self-promote and where. 2.) Research art conference/event/etc. 3.) Do taxes.
