I live outside of centers of the art world. Everybody artists outside of finland seems to be beautiful, like they could post on /selfie/ and get 1k likes. Also even Tiktok artist are talented. There are artist that have major talent and post like "I started yesterday teehee". Finland has a lot of mediocre painters that are popular. Well good ones are good. I realized that I'm also maybe mediocre. When I arrive to finnish side of art tiktok it's just depresses me. There is one female (self-taught) who paints like that monopoly man guy (I don't remember his name, garish stuff but popular amongst rich people) without irony. Anyway... just my observations

Guys recommed me books for visual inspo. I was rly into 100 Painters of Tomorrow. And Vitamin+P also. Recommed me

- fresh book visual insp.

- book about seeing or writing about your art

- reason to keep going with painting

- how to get rid of social media and use it less

What is your opinion about this MLM type of scam? It seems that it's some kind of shitty scam made by dumb anime fan artist? I feel like I wasted my 4 yrs of BFA if I started making ACEO's. Not serious business or?

My dream starts normally in schoolworld. I have it every night. I'm at gym. P.E teacher tells us it is penis inspection day. I have to drop my gym shorts and he examines my penis. Has this occured to you too?
