Something kind of liberating about knowing I'll probably never be an illustrator, at least not the kind I've been trying to be for the last decade or so. Going back to the graphic design I went to school for, knowing it's a much more realistic career path because someone is always gonna need a logo or packaging or an ad or something makes me feel like I have more freedom to fuck around with my illustrative art now.

Like I don't have to worry about 'brand recognition' or 'style consistency' now because who cares. it's just a hobby. I'm never going to monetize it, unless someone asks me for prints or something. Maybe I'll stop hating my art now and start having fun with it again.

#not that graphic design isnt art #it is #but its commercial art #it isnt what i wanted to do but i dont hate it as much as i thought i did back when i went to school for it as a means to an end to #get an art education without having to move too far away from home #it also means i dont have to worry if people find my for-fun illustrative art and link it back to my personal blog #because it wont be attached to the name i use in a professional setting and i dont have to worry #about some corporate hiring manager finding out i fully believe i was a fictional demon in past life and blacklisting me or whatever
