Pod Cast Question - 3 Point Perspective
-
@demotlj yeah, that’s a good answer
-
@ajillustrates 🥺 life definitely gets in the way. I wish I could be working in stop motion too. I'd want to build puppets and props. It is such a difficult track to get on and needs such a huge time dedicated to it.
-
@Will-Terry this is shameful: my dream is to be “discovered” without ever risking putting myself out there, and get paid far more than I deserve, learning the skills magically as I go. So lazy!! Then I wise up and begin to get excited about the actual process of learning and growing and being a member of the artist community (like here at SVS). The dream transforms: to put in the time and effort and put myself out there and see what can actually happen. But that’s not a dream... that’s commitment, discipline, resilience, and sacrifice. But then again... that does feel like a dream

@Will-Terry In my perfect world I am writing and illustrating my own children's books and someone actually pays me money for that. No readings, no school and bookstore visits. I hate being around crowds
For now I am in a half-perfect world. I really am, I have the opportunity to write and illustrate stories all day long. Can't wait for the new podcast. -
@NessIllustration so happy to see this when I was rereading this thread.
thank you 
-
@Will-Terry My hope is to work full time writing and illustrating my own comics/webcomics!
-
@Will-Terry Would love to author/illustrate picture books in a 3d styling similar to stop motion (Red Nose Studio/Aardman/Laika hybrid), make funny greeting cards, and design/create/write for a Mr. Rogers/Muppet hybrid sketch show that would have different artist guests.

@johnchoi I’m just listening to episode 29 “Building a strong portfolio” and I’m totally in the beginning of phase 4. This “dream” is basically not wanting to grow through the phases.
-
@Whitney-Simms I love that! You want to paint pancake recipes. That made me smile. And the illustration is perfect too.

@jdubz When Will read what you said I had to come back and read it myself. Yes! I love this. And, I completely agree. Part of the reason I want to do art is because I love it. Part is to prove to my teacher who believed in me that I could believe in me too. (Part is to remind myself that the teacher who told me I wasn't "worth his time" doesn't get to tell me who I am.) And, a HUGE part of pursuing the dream is for when I tell my kids to work hard for what they want in life. I want to say, "like mama did, " because anything else feels hypocritical.
