i got a job ✸ getting a day job to support my art | cosy draw with me

I have started yet another day job to supplement my income as a struggling artist. It always feels bittersweet, because while I love the stability of a part time job, I feel like I’ve now lost that time for my art and business to put cash in my pocket. But having this current 9-5 has been good so far. It’s not creatively taxing, so I have creative energy leftover for my work and it’s not physically taxing, so I don’t feel like collapsing on the couch.

I also feel good about contributing financially to the household to help put our family in a better position, so it’s definitely a win! I just hope to be able to contribute with my art business someday.
