I've read your previous writing where you've talked about how art students are being trained to not value their work/make work for others more than making the work they want to make (I'm wording that poorly but I hope you get what I mean). On that note, I graduated with a bachelor's in illustration last year, and now I have a graphic design job for a corporate company.
You're my favorite animator/storyteller right now, I look up to you, I pay for your art, I'm pretty sure your art influenced my doodles on my notebooks in middle school without me even realizing it. I just got this job, and I'm so happy about it, but I'm also nervous my personal art is going to slow down. I think about what you said a lot.
I know you haven't had a job outside of your art, but I still would love to hear your advice. Do you have any tips for how to make the best of the situation?
