the two biggest pieces of advice that i would express to anyone thinking about grad school are

1) do not pay for grad school. i am dead serious on this one. this was the number one thing every single professor i had in undergrad expressed to me. going to a grad school that doesn’t offer tuition remission or teaching or any type of funding so you can complete the work you need to do is not worth going into debt for don’t do it don’t do it don’t do it because—

2) besides the obvious (the degree) grad school offer you two things (ideally they offer both); training or access. by training i mean rigorous high level hands on practice honing your skills in your chosen field; by access i mean connection to people/institutions/funding to help support whatever work or research you’re doing. (i think that at least in the arts broadly speaking, it is easier to find training than it is to gain access.) i think it’s extremely important to weigh out what you’re getting out of a specific program and decide not only what is more important to you but also what opportunities a school is offering you

#this is just my experience as someone who has very recently gone through it and now teaches at a very prestigious college and still has #student loan debt from undergrad (i went to a funded phd program)#part of the reason i picked the university i did for grad school was because i wanted access #i already knew i knew how to write (and had experience teaching); i wanted to work at the major regional theatres in town and i wanted a #slightly easier time getting my foot in the door. and it paid off. a lot #if i had gone to a different program my career might look very different

weekly navel-gazing update: this week is most consequential event in long time. keyword search: "scared" "is it ok to be scared" "beaten and tortured by the ogre"

#old director of south asian studies just talked to me to let me know theyll be joining me to sit on my panel while i present two projects #in two days and intimated they could discuss supervising potential grad work or dissertations despite funding freezes #she is respected used to do the gender studies program coordinating too #and their TA PhD student super severe standoffish goth walked up to me in front of seminar to thank me for my portfolio of essays #on poverty homelessness and environmental stuff and said it was TOUCHING and i should be proud and shell also be attending #after the director of student research invited them #and research director happens to specialize in borderlands and caribbean and empire and she emailed me to say #she left me a signed copy of her book with a really lovely message #and a protein bar because she knows i have diabetes and other illnesses but bike like ten miles a day between work and school #and then she emailed me and offered car ride if i wanted #and i was touched and surprised and now im like uh oh this is important i guess #and like uh oh i really shouldve taken the week off work or something why am i working forty hours for this #well precarious rent i guess but still wish i hadnt spent past four months just going to retail job and had instead hung out more with #faculty and hope i didnt waste my chance to get to know them #also is im just going to wear that outfit to conference hope not perceived as too informal #no family whatsoever so there was no one like interested or checking in on me to like help me see that the developments were significant #a year ago i was nothing but nightshift retail with NO prospects and rapidly worsening health #and there wasnt even a glimmer of hope for possibility of positive social environment let alone school

dearest artists, i bring thee inspiration on this day (because I also really need it)

YOU DON'T WANNA DRAW ANATOMY? YOU DON'T WANT TO PRACTICE?

I raise you the following (things I tell myself to motivate myself when I don't even want to look at an art program/my sketchbook):

think of all the gay shit you could draw... I mean, you're going to draw gay shit anyway, but think about if it was GAYER and FANCIER TECHNICALLY because of your MAD SKILLZ. You'll have your fellow gays whooping and cheering for your gay shit!

think of all your BLORBOS and SPECIAL LITTLE GUYS. you could draw them even BETTER than you are now! :0

think of all the tasteful nudity you could draw. (I have so much in my old sketchbooks! the kids can and will draw tasteful nudity! It's inevitable! sorry puritans! the human body isn't inherently sexual!) (I am still mad about the shitty bans on high school art classes in the us on artistic nudity)

with the power of anatomy, you can do dumb shit, like anatomy that isn't real but still has a basis in reality! (great for horror, trust... and also fantasy in general)

THINK ABOUT THE CUDDLING SCENES YOU CAN DRAW. THINK ABOUT IT. Everyone likes a good hug or cuddle scene. You could be doin' that. Or kissing, if you're getting into that territory.

(I have been drawing and making art for 12 years now and I still struggle to draw characters interacting! No artist moves at the exact same pace, it's okay)

In most drawing styles regardless of focus there is a basis in real-life anatomy and appearances, but don't think I mean hyper realism! My style is very japanese anime & western cartoon esque bc of what I started drawing for and from. Do not fear if your preferred style doesn't fit into a specific genre or style; it's yours! Art is supposed to be fun, but you'll gather more enjoyment the more you practice, so... PICK UP THAT PEN(cil) AND PRACTICE! P.S. Tracing is okay if you're using it to learn (as long as you're not straight up stealing someone's art, duh). Trace those references if it helps you get a good sense of what you're doing. Use rulers, use mirrors, use anything you want. Set your ref right beside your art so you can look at it. Don't feel bad if you have to look at it a lot, it's all a part of the process. People who say tracing and references are bad can shove it. Artists have been drawing from sight for forever. Don't listen to them :3 All art (that is made by your hands/body) is real art. Don't be discouraged <3

One thing I agree with, that my art teacher recently told us: If you're feeling frustrated, you're getting somewhere; keep going!

anyways i have probably been accepted into one of the schools i applied to? which is pretty neat

#got accepted into this program for high-achieving underrepresented minorities who applied before oct 15 #which basically lets me talk to professors + administration + students at the school #and then will partially or fully fund a visit to the campus if i get in #and according to the school admission into the program =/= admission into the school #BUT from my digging online someone said everyone they talked to who got in the program also got in the school #and someone ELSE who had worked in the admissions office while they were in undergrad said that #admission to the program is basically admission to the school bc they don’t want to get people’s hopes up #boycritter et al
