Self Doubt and the Dream Crusher - Thoughts as an Artist

Hi everyone,

I hope you are doing well and you enjoyed the video I just posted about how I cut out super-detailed images for my collage journal. I know it was a long one, but it is a process that really can't be rushed and I wanted to take my time and share with you as I was cutting out the image.

   • Cutting out Intricate Florals for my Colla...  

While I was recording that video, I share my current experience with having the art I had submitted to a local gallery show denied. After I filmed all of that and realized what all I had shared, it started to concern me that people might think I was asking for others to coddle me and give me sympathy. That was and is not the case whatsoever and it lead to my wanting to sit down and talk about that feeling as well as my dealing with what I call my "Self Doubt Demon and Dream Crusher". I really went back and forth with if I should post this or not, in fear of being verbally attacked by viewers here, but I decided to anyway because this is obviously something that is important to me and important for me to share with others, because I know I'm not the only one who struggles with these things.

So be kind to yourself, because you're worth it.

Please be sure to follow me over at my Ko-Fi page, so you don’t miss out when my subscription program starts. I can’t wait to share more with you about this exciting “glow-up” for me and my goal of becoming a full-time artist.
