Maybe being a bigger artist would make my life easier by making my necessities easier to buy, but IMO I'm a small artist because I am horrible at marketing myself! I have no desire to do the song and dance of constant Instagram/TikTok art Reels. Sure, I'd love to join in on the animation memes, but time is so crunched for me. It's difficult. I don't care about follower count, stream viewer count, fav count, all that. Those numbers don't measure my worth or skills as an artist. It may be shooting myself in the foot in this day and age, but that's how I feel. I want to draw kooky & cute toons and perhaps make some friends along the way.
