Every year throughout my childhood, I was asked about what I wanted to be when I grew up. Once, I wanted to be a geologist. Another time, I said I wanted to be a singer. Later on, I said I wanted to be a writer, like my eldest brother. But I wasn’t necessarily good at piecing a story together in words. Ideas came to me in little movie scenes that only lived in my mind. So the best way I was able to communicate these ideas was by drawing.
Sharing art on social media can be fun. Every now and then, you’ll get a kind comment and maybe up to 40 likes if you’re lucky. But I realized it’s unreasonably demanding and there is no guaranteed reward for the work I did. The art I posted simply became content, equivalent to any meme or fit check.
I stopped posting art on social media earlier this year, partially because I was sick of the routine and partially because ofI avoided Instagram for months and mostly used X to enjoy the work of other artists. I no longer wished to push myself for 30 likes per post and compete against AI “art” accounts with thousands of followers. It’s sad to think that much of the art that blows up on social media is just a pretty picture to the viewer and nothing more.
Where were they born? What was their family like? What did they go through to express this sadness or joy?
