What IS it like to be an artist? Well...

It's like you're on the world's most boring rollercoaster- it's fun, but you're always hoping that the insane upside-down loop is just around the next corner.

It's listening to people tell you that they "don't have any room for more art." Like, what do those words even mean?

It's spending time filling out more forms and applications that you ever thought possible. (Didn't we become an artist precisely because we are shit at that?)

It's walking around feeling like Clark Kent: hiding a secret identity under your "normal person" costume.

It's making a last-minute three-hour trip to buy wax pencils, in "the right" red.

It feels like the dumbest job in the world, but also the most important.
