Today is International Artist Day. 🎨

we can use this day to be inspired to do something arty

we can sort through stuff, read an art book, write about projects in a note book, visit a museum :)

Problem is I’m not an artist, just a fraud.

…I could do a forgery? Or tape a banana to the wall?

[–] Seagoon_@aussie.zone 3 points 4 months ago (1 children)

every one is

just fake it til you make it

don't give up, keep working at it

damn, if I were closer I would suggest we have "do art together" afternoons , it's nice to do art with others :)

That would be cool.

Unfortunately I’m seriously struggling at the moment with panic attacks and finding that even art itself is giving me anxiety :(

I'm baking sourdough from scratch, does that count? I just can't get it quite right, but I'm really confident that today I'll be even closer to getting it almost right 🤣
