I quit my full time graphic design job to become a full time artist.
Consider supporting me and what I do by:
Making monthly donations on Patreon: / emilymackeyart
Purchasing Paintings or Prints from my website:
www.emilymacke...
Use Code 'FREESHIP!' to get FREESHIPPING and a free little extra gift in every order!
First of all, I don't know what's up with the color on the footage and I can't figure out how to fix it, so it is what it is.
Secondly, this is all very fresh and confusing and I'm still trying to navigate my new schedule and responsibilities. But I wanted to share my current thoughts and feelings about my situation for anyone who is curious. I also talk deeply about all of the reasons why I quit my job and the circumstances that led up to it.
This is a really big scary adventure for me. I don't quite know yet how to be a full time artist or what exactly it means to make art full time. But if you are wondering if or when you should become a full time artist, maybe my journey might give you a little bit a reference for it.
As always, if you have any questions for me, leave them in the comments below!
Thanks for hanging with me!

Emily it is so valid to be scared and to miss the job you’ve loved for so long, just because you’re doing something exciting doesn’t mean those other feelings just don’t exist anymore. I’m really happy for you and can’t wait to see where this shift takes you! You got the chance to achieve your dreams and that’s amazing!!

@cadburycad658 3 года назад

You'll reach amazing heights Emily we love you so much one day your RU-vid channel will get millions of followers and likes we love your singing and the beautiful words you say in the video and the amazing thing is you reply to every comment unlike others you interact with your subscribers. And you followed your passion what's better than that. Loads of love Emily 😍💕

Thank you for the raw feelings of describing going out as your own boss and making art. I am working towards the same goal and am as practical as you. I have my secure full time job and when possible, as I keep working towards my dream, and worried of letting it go. Your feelings towards it’s all is inspiring to keep me on my track!

The societal picture here in India is so much worse and I am continually feeling depressed. I just know I have to do something creative to feel alive. But I can't because of so much other works like college and stuff. It's just the worst feeling. Glad you had the courage to work on what you love doing.

the world always needs more artists. i don't even know you personally but i'm so proud of you. this is a big step but i think it was totally the best decision. i hope i can be a full time artist one day. a big reason i've grown in my art and that could potentially happen is because of you. your tutorials and realistic advice and ideas have really just helped me so much. so just knowing that i hope you feel proud of yourself. you really do inspire people, and now you can do it even more. sending love ❤❤

@wintersprite 3 года назад

Congrats! I hope your art career goes well for you. Right now, my art is just a hobby and I don’t know if I could ever make it into a big enough career. I do want to try selling some but don’t always have the time or motivation to make art every day or week. While I don’t want to be in my current job forever (already been doing it for 11 years), I need the health insurance and money. I have anxiety and depression so worry about the future and fear that I would fail or something. I wish I had enough money saved up, however things like medical and dental bills have made my savings go down. One of the things that confuses me with selling arts and crafts is figuring out how do you tax the customer? I think on shops like Etsy, they do it for you but if you start your own shop from your website, how does that work? I live in a state with no sales tax.

Anyone wondering how to make money with art, that's what she is doing putting videos on youtube for ads. That's how you make money off it. No interaction in the comment section. Ofcourse you can "see more" if you pay. Great way of making money on this and just very smart.
