I know I tend to go weeks, almost a whole month in between each submission of my artwork. It’s never really bothered me before but, lately,I’ve started to become anxious over it. I know I don’t submit as often as many other artists do, and I worry that my watchers will eventually get bored and leave. I’ve been comparing myself to other artists who seem to dish out a perfect drawing every few days and feel pressured and frustrated. It’s gotten to now that I feel like each drawing I do must be posted, that I’m drawing a picture solely for the purpose of submitting and not anything else, and, because of that, I feel it has to be perfect and then I get tense when trying to draw anything. I can’t even seem to enjoy doing simple doodles just for fun. And I know this is not a very good mindset to have. Not only is it not good for my anxiety, but it takes all the fun out of something that I love to do. I’m not an artist who makes a living off of their art. If I was, then of course

So I was just alerted that someone has been selling a shirt on Amazon with my artwork on it: https://www.amazon.com/Beware-Hitchhiking-Ghosts-Funny-Halloween/dp/B07Q1JG9NL/ref=sr_1_17?crid=1EDQCKYPL5SR7&dchild=1&keywords=haunted+mansion+shirt&qid=1602963065&sprefix=haunted+mansio%2Caps%2C207&sr=8-17 The ghosts were from my “Grim Grinning Ghosts” pic I did a while back: Yes, I just added the watermarks because of this. I really wish I knew how to do a decent watermark. I know I’ve been using watermarks recently, but, I never really thought that something like this would happen because I honestly never saw my artwork as being that good, let alone the pic they were using from. Sigh. I already contacted Amazon and it sounded like they’ll take care of it. I’m not like raging or anything, more like, wow, this really happened. Crazy. So yeah, be very careful with your artwork, everyon. Wow, this is the first journal I’ve written in like, ages. Aside from this, I’m doing fine. I hope

First of all: Happy Father's Day to all the dads including mine.^^ I'm sorry I hadn't any time to draw anything for this day.I know I've been pretty quiet around here lately. The thing is, my work schedule's gone up and right now I'm working about six days a week this month, which as you can guess, doesn't leave me in much of a drawing mood. >.< Maybe just a few practice sketches here and there, but nothing huge. I've mostly just been resting and reading as of late. Maybe I can find some decent sketches to post later on. On the plus side, I do have my birthday to look forward to this Wed. the 22 and have even gotten the day off.=D Not sure...
