I turned 30 recently and so naturally I was looking back at how far I've come and my long and winding creative journey from feeling stuck to building my small art business.
Making a living as an artist has been a dream of mine since I was little but I spent most of my 20s feeling stuck, trying to develop an art style, and failing to get an art business off the ground. Eventually I got myself together, started taking myself seriously and a year and a half later I'm running my own small art business!

Guys this video took us SO LONG to make because my art and photos from the last 30 years were spread across a dozen harddrives and accounts 😅 So worth it though to be able to look back at the journey I've taken to get to where I am with my art today. Would love to know where you are with your art journey!

I feel like this determination will set me up for success. Wishing myself luck! You are truly inspirational Mimi. Congratulations, you deserve this

I’m right at the beginning! I’ve always loved art and design but didn’t get to take it beyond secondary school. I’ve started learning to illustrate on my iPad but have been worrying I’m to late to get started as I’m 22. This video was so encouraging because it showed that trying lots of different things isn’t bad and will probably lead you to exactly where you want to be🥰 Thank you!

@pinquitte Год назад

This video helped me a lot. I've been going through a similar journey just like yours. Last week I started posting daily on Instagram. I'm terrified I'll get bored and drop it again, but I'll watch this video once in a while when I feel overwhelmed and hopefully remember my goals and motivation. I'm 27 now. I'll leave this comment as a memory. I just want to come back after some time, when I achieve what I'm dreaming of now, and edit it. I hope we all can find the courage to be persistent and consistent. Wish me luck :)

My daughters are so creative yet they struggle to know where to go to study after high school. I want them to pursue their passion-art. But they don’t believe it’s a real job. As an artist myself I’m trying to encourage them to follow their dreams. I love that you validate your journey to finding your career as an artist. I’m 50 and I did a lot of “real” jobs. But my greatest joy is creating art with God’s guidance. 🙏🏻❤️🙌🏻

Thank you for sharing your journey! Often times videos about career journeys seem to be too polished and unrelastic. Yes, everybody mentions "downs" on the way but nobody takes the time to explain what really happened during these times. I really, really appreciate your honesty! ❤️ A year ago I also descided to change my career upside down and focus on my dreams and I was always looking for other creators who had a somewhat similiar journey. I'm still stuck in the phase where I have to work another job to make it work but starting next month I'll be working completely as a freelancer and I'm so excited for the new chapter in my life ☺️

@MissElastic 2 года назад

Thank you for this video, it is really inspiring. I also grew up loving art, way into my teenage years- I was always doodling and creating things. Then I dropped art completely for about 10 years, followed a different path which led me nowhere. Working service jobs and feeling kind of depressed about my life. Then a couple of years ago I decided to pick up a pen/pencil again to try and make it in my dream career- to become a tattoo artist! However, I quickly realised that my art is NOT as good as I remembered it to be, becoming very disheartened. I also really struggle to draw anything decent without a reference and sometimes feel creatively stumped and like this will never go anywhere. I am telling myself the answer is to practise, practise, practise... it will come (though I am already 30 at this point so you're way ahead of me!)... Nevertheless your story is very inspiring!

This video came up while I was journaling. I let pretty you tube videos play. I’ve been a fan of your Instagram for about a year. Anyhow. I didn’t mean to watch this video. I was journaling about my life and my work/life balance and what I want to do about it. This video was SO inspiring to me. I don’t want to be a full time artist. But I want art in my life. It finally hit me. I don’t want to BE a nurse. I want to BE an artist who WORKS as a nurse. I let worrying about my nursing path take up all my off work time. That’s art time! That’s creative development time! That’s MY time. And I’m taking it back. Thank you. I love you. We are best friends now.

@_Tish Год назад

This is so inspiring. I'm in my late 20s and I've been working in the creative industry for years but I only recently realized that everything was not fully for "me". I work on projects given to me, all the styles, details, and everything was provided and I just have to make them. (Which thank god I can do. I was pretty much a jack-of-all-trades in mimicking art styles and that pays the bill so let's go! Great job.) But as time goes by I just feel like, none of it really feels like "me" you know. I keep comparing myself to other artists who have their own style, their own voice, and their own visuals like, why can't I do the same? I can easily create something I was asked to make but when it comes to making myself something I just struggle. As you mentioned in the video, you felt like a fraud. That's how I feel right now honestly, stuck. After watching this though, I think I know where to start. And as cliche as this sound to all of us, I just have to start drawing and creating whatever until I find my own style. There's nothing really wrong about being able to create artwork in different styles it's just that I kind of want something I can totally say this is me, this is my own style, my identity. P.S. You're literally living my dream right now. I want to be a children's book illustrator and have my own small business on the side. Wish me luck cause here I go! P.P.S. I hope we all make it! (For the people in the comments section.)

@ghostie7790 2 года назад

Thanks so much for sharing this!!! It feels good to see someone with a relatable experience. I've been on my journey since graduating art school in 2016. I moved to LA for a few years to try becoming a storyboard artist, but I got burned out trying and getting rejected all the time. And during COVID I was laid off of my day job so I decided to go back to my hometown and take another day job while continuing to work on my own comics and illustration, without always attempting to land a job at the bug studio. I'm still not COMPLETELy financially independant with my artwork but I'm really ENJOYING the work I'm doing for myself now! And I'm currently with a children's book agency as an illustrator, and I'm enjoying it so much! I still have a non art day job as you did, but I learned how to change my mindset about it as you mention and it makes all the difference. I tell myself that the day job is a patron to my art business. With that mantra, I'm able to go in everyday and do what I have to do so that I can come home and ART!

I turn 20 next week, i think about being an artist every day. So far i have gotten very little progress, i work at UPS stacking parcels and by the time i come home i am so tired and all my creativity is just struggling to come out. My natural instinct is to give up this dream because of how far fetched it is, and how practically impossible it is to create a stable income from it. Unfortunately for me, i am in control of my instincts so i try to dismiss these thoughts of quitting even when it gets rough. Thank you for sharing this journey, you have re-lit my spark to continue working. Im putting all my eggs in the "hard work pays off" basket, and i guess i will never know if the saying is false, because i will never quit on my dreams. Thank you.

@anissaphillips9564 Год назад

Dang this hit me pretty hard. I'm 28 and feel like I'm in the exact same position you were in. Recently I had a big moment where I saw two paths laid in front of me. Commit to my job that I've been at for awhile and train to take over the manager position when the current manager leaves. But I know that would slowly drain the soul out of me and I would absolutely hate it because all I've ever wanted to do is create art. So taking that in mind I've actually started my own art business journey I'm hoping with time, patience, and hard work I can one day have a success story like yours. Saying that it's definitely a big help when people like you share your journey!

I had passion for art since 6th grade while drawing diagrams for biology homework. I wanted to polish my skills by joining any art class but since my dad was a bus driver & 6 siblings he couldnt afford. I used to collect pocket money for months & months and get a sketch book and waterpainys and gel pens. I couldnt even join art degree during college since the course were pricey. When i started working i had responsibiliy of my younger siblings to support them financially since my dad lost his job. Now im 32 and i started my passion for watercolor again.

@socandis 2 года назад

Thank you so much for the inspiring video! I’ve always been someone who leans more towards creative outlets, but I’ve always let my shyness and my fears stop me from going after my dreams of making art for a living. The fear of being a “starving artist” is something that I’ve never wanted for myself, but the older I get the more I realize I shouldn’t let that stop me. Growing up as a first generation college graduate to immigrants, I’ve always sort of felt some guilt, that if I went to school and studied what I really wanted and didn’t find a job, that I’ve let down my family and all the sacrifices that they’ve made for me. But when I graduated, I realized that’s not the case. I’ve been turning the idea of making an Instagram page for my art and as well as an Etsy shop for awhile now and this really solidified things for me. Keep up the amazing work!

@fuzzydragons 2 года назад

this is great to show people that life/jobs is not such a straight forward thing and to get to the artistic point you want can take time and a lot of different life moments to get there 🙂 and yep sometimes it does just come down to luck unfortunately. My art journey is nowhere where I want it to be, getting there but even at 40 there is still a lot of time to get there so people shouldnt think there is a cut off point in age where you have failed yourself.

@heygabimara545 11 месяцев назад

Thank you for this video. I'm in a similar boat where my art career is just all over the place--just with more anger around it because i was living to survive lol. I was so desperate to just have my path be a simple straight line, or a bit wiggly but it's like a crumpled curly ball of metal shavings 😆 it's only now that I'm slowly making sense of things and only now that I'm softening up to my path. So i don't see it as a ball of metal anymore, but more like course yarn. I'm also able to recognize parts of my life that are still technically "lucky" which is helping me keep trying until something sticks. I'm also using Artist's Way by Julia Cameron and honestly the way you went about your journey is very similar to what Julia taught in her book (how to do self care during burnout, and entertain other dreams/desires that we have not just hyperfocus and perfectionistic on one goal) You've been an inspiration.

So much of this really resonated with me! I've known since I was a kid that I wanted to be an artist but stumbles along the way and having to support myself left me feeling like I'd never have the time I wanted to fully back myself and commit, even though in my gut I knew I HAD to. Last week I quit my job to focus on my art with no distractions, and I'm low key terrified but excited to see where I land. Thanks for this, it's inspired me so much xo

Thank you for sharing your journey so far. I've been on a similar (albeit different) personal journey and sometimes struggle with timing and motivation. So it was really good to hear your perspective and understand what you went through as well. Thank you 🙏💜

OMG thanks Hun, 💓 for making this video, i can't express how much it helped me as today my anxiety was taking over because of my own inaction to starting my own Art Journey that I been wanting to take since you don't want to know how long, so Thanks buddy, Thanks for instilling hope in me that there is still hope for me, I just need to get clear, and it will all come together 🤩
