I realized something lately. That better artists than me are getting more hate and bashing on their works, and their art is beautiful and stunning and sell wonderfully. I always thought ppl just hated on my art because I was just really terrible at it at the time, and other reasons that might be my fault, but now that I improved, I still got the same haters and whiners complaining and trying to say I never improved since 2006/2007/2010 etc. It's funny because there's obviously a HUGE difference now than before, and the the same idiocy from the haters choose to say dumb things to artists like "You'll never improve, your art is shitty, stop arting and kill yourself because you're a failure".
Now I see even the best artists get mistreated and attacked too as much as the beginner/not-so-popular artists, it's just people on the internet who are jealous of artists, ones who are successful in life and people lover their work, and especially ones who can also live off it as self employment, instead of having a job they would potentially hate in the end. How the hell can a non artist (or one who doesn't do the artistic type the person they bashing is doing) judge how someone's art is when they never done it, know the process or it or even know how to do the specific task in the first place. Like a Photographer bashing a Digital artist for example.

Some people will do anything to make someone with talent give up on their talent, and go into things like Depression and into hiding.

Most Artists live off their talent, and there's nothing to be ashamed about. Hobbies can be jobs easily. Jobs today is hard to get, people think it's easy as hell to get just because they got one, was born in a fancy family to be gifted to get one from an inheritance, or sucked many dicks for it.

Remember, we live in the US, in recession, it's not the 1990's anymore. (If you're American). The most qualified/experience peopel are getting the jobs now or as im told, immigrants too since they do our jobs for cheaper rates, dunno, correct me if im wrong. As for other countries, I dunno about other countries so I can't determine how the job rates go there.
