Super specific but does anyone know of any picrews (or similar character creators) that are for jester/clown outfits? Especially if the outfit choices are super old style looking. Really I need them to have those big silly jester hats in different styles preferably. I'm making a comic and I need some ideas for background character jesters and I figured the best way to make them is to ask other ppl to do picrews of jesters and use those designs for the characters!

Like the title says, my psychiatrist forgot my appointment yesterday (no showed) when I waited on the telehealth call for over an hour 🫩I was really looking forward to the visit bc I desperately need my medication adjusted. I've tried so much with my therapist to quell my anxiety and the existentialism/depression it creates but nothing is really helping in any meaningful way. I am so nervous about school starting back that I'm literally waking up sick. I fall asleep crying. And voila, the chance I had to talk to a doctor about getting medicinal help was squashed. Better yet, I found the courage to call the office directly and the person on the phone was nice enough but she said the next available appointment is in OCTOBER!! I've also realized that the appointments are supposed to be separated out so that by the time you come back in to see the doctor, it would be time for your refills to be out. Aka, you have to see the doctor to get a new prescription written. So.... I guess I'll also be out of SSRI in a few days? Awesome. Now school starts on Monday and I'm freaking out. I left a message in the patient portal explaining that my refills are spent and that I probably need to be put on a higher dosage or something anyway, but I have no idea when the doctor or her nurses will see it, if they even do... I'm just feeling incredibly lost and I don't know what to do. I feel like the universe is punishing me for some reason, giving me so much anxiety and deadlines and expectations while also ignoring my attempts to ready myself for the challenge.

Senior here, and freaking out. It's getting really close to the finish line and the pressing question "What are you going to do with your degree?" is begging for an answer.

I'm getting my Bachelor's in Fine Arts. I'm killing it in school. Straight A's, great work being done, pieces being accepted into shows, and an awesome student job as a creative assistant that gets my designs seen by everyone on campus in a big city. Not to try and sound uppity, but, by all accounts, I am like the picture perfect BFA student at this school. I seem like I am on the right track for success.

With one caveat. What the hell AM I going to do with my degree? Every job opening I see on Linkedin or Indeed tagged as art related sounds like hell to me. Graphic designer? Not my cup of tea. Museum Handler? Nah. Teaching artist? Hell no. Mural artist? I get light headed too easily for all that! Every art related job I find, deep down, my soul says no. That's not the job/career for me. So what do I do?

The simple options seems to be become either a gallery artist, commissions artist, or an art market artist. I say simple only because that's what I know how to do. I've been in gallery shows, I've worked with clients for commissions, and I've had a few successful art markets. Those come easier to me just because I've done them before. But at the end of the day, all of those options do not have benefits, they don't have job security, and by god how the hell do you do taxes as an artist!?

I'm terrified by the thought of choosing one of these (or a few at the same time) to be my career and failing miserably. I am a hard worker, and I WANT to work. I want a career where I feel appreciated for what I do and that I am actually making a difference in the world. What if I find that feeling in being a commissions artist or market seller but I don't make enough money to survive? What if I work my ass off making things and taking commissions but at the end of the day it isn't enough? Where is the security in that?

Anyways... There is my spiel. Is anyone else, art major or not, feeling this way? Are you a great student but terrified about the job market for you? LMK

I only have one more year left of school but I am so depressed right now and don't think I'll be able to perform well enough when the fall semester begins in a few weeks. I'm a fine arts major and I seem to have lost all passion for art (as well as doing ANYTHING else for that matter) and I know it's going to be painful forcing myself to work on meaningful art or I'm just going to disappoint myself by not doing my school work/not preparing for my senior show. I'm just so down and I don't know what to do. Should I drop out when I only have two semesters left? What would I even do with a fine arts degree after I would graduate? Is it all pointless? I've been worried ab if I drop out, I'll no longer have access to my studio space on campus but I have no where else to store my art supplies (small apartment). Should I just sell all my supplies since I have no interest in making art right now anyways? I'm so lost...

At the end of August, my senior year in college will start. Needless to say since I'm posting here, my summer has been so hard. I had to break up with my fiance that I was with for 7 years (lost my best friend), move out suddenly with roommates I'm not close with, struggle with bills because work wouldn't give me more hours/I didn't have the motivation to find a third job. That's really the main issue, I have no motivation to do anything anymore. I make myself go in for my shifts, but everything else I'm just surviving. I mostly just sleep. I'll only eat if there's food around already cooked because I don't have the motivation to cook. I'm already having issues pushing myself to brush my teeth or schedule appointments. I'm just falling backwards, eternally it seems. But I'm surviving because I'm making just enough to pay bills since I'm not spending money on anything else.

What am I going to do when school starts back? I don't have the motivation to go to classes, to do my work, to study. I don't even have the motivation to get dressed most days. And with a class schedule, I'll get less hours at work. All in all I kind of just want to drop out, because I have no idea how I'm going to handle a whole year of school right now. I don't know how it's possible and I know I can't bring myself to perform well. Might as well drop out rather than flunk out.

The two people I've mentioned this to has said it's so close to being over, why not just push through this last year and get it over with. For what? Graduate and not get a job in my field? Spend a whole year with significantly less income and no big job to come get me out of financial ruin at the end?

This is all honestly just so heart breaking for me. I loved being a student. I loved my major. I loved going to class and learning/networking/working. I had hopes and dreams for my future. But it all feels useless and I know I can't push myself to do it right now. It's just not in me. And I'm scared if I just decided to take a gap year, it would probably only make my depression worse and I would never go back to school.

I feel like I know deep down there is no way for me to get back to loving life, and I'm just lingering until something finally takes me out so I don't have to perform anymore.

Ok rant over. What do I do.

Hey! I'm looking for suggestions but I know practically nothing about perfume. I really want a green apple scent, which seems to be really hard to find in person and I'm too scared to order some online since I have no idea what it will smell like without a recommendation. The few green apple scents I have found in person are obviously meant for little girls and smell sickly sweet, which I'd like to avoid. This might be a weird thing to point out but I love the way Fructis green apple hair products smell, and if I could find a perfume that smelled similar to that I would be so happy. It's not too sweet or sour smelling, just a clean fruity smell that's obviously green apple. Thanks in advance!! 💚
