I've been reading a lot of journals lately about how discouraged people are... comparing their art to what's "popular". Not being satisfied with anything they create.... cause it doesn't get that many favs or comments. People are forgetting what art is really about.. it's breaking my heart. This is just deviantart! Don't let your stats mirror how good of an artist you are. it's bullshit. :[ I was originally going to post this over at my photography account, but decided to post it here. I know the photo isn't all that awe inspiring.... but.. I had to get the message across some how. >_<; anyways..... here's to art.

"I am who I am. Do not discriminate against me." Quoth Matt, aka Goggle-Face ----------- It's IMPOSSIBLE to be unhappy in a poncho! I was thinking of getting a sombrero. Imagine, a sombrero/poncho combo; I'd be off my tits on happiness!
I like to believe this about everything, not just limited to art. But thoughts, opinions, and all other things too.

I think you should always tell people how amazing they are, because chances are they dont know it and never will if you dont say it everyday... ps. I think you are amazing
This is a really good message! When I was younger I used to compare my art to my friend's. Then I realised that we all had different styles, and that wasn't a bad thing.
And art on dA shouldn't be about popularity. Really popular art tends to be a bit soulless anyway.
