Archive (Old Art)
I’m a bit of a hoarder when it comes to my old projects- I don’t know why. They’re like my babies, and I drive myself crazy thinking about how much time I’ve spent drawing sometimes.

It’s funny how different an artist’s identity must be now versus what it’d have been a hundred years ago. The only way you’d have known if someone liked your art is if you saw their face as they looked at it. Now we get instant feedback, criticism, and neglect of art. I don’t want passion to go to waste, even though it’s also important to grow up as an artist, and move on.
