I think palettes / workspaces are so colorful and messy… sometimes just looking at my palette gets me motivated. So… what does your palette look like? Messy? Clean?

Has anyone had their art account flagged as AI on IG? I just had to submit for a review and if it isn't accepted my account will be perma banned. I don't have a huge following, but I have made some great contacts with some commissions and collaborations with other artists and I am so frustrated and upset. It seems like AI bot accounts can run rampant, but then actual artists are flagged and can lose all of their hard work and time that they put into their account. I'm not really looking for advice, just screaming into the void I suppose. 😡

Hi All, Hoping everyone is well and enjoying the start of the summer wherever you are. I wanted to make this topic because I'm sure I'm not alone in this and I'm sure we can help each other out a little. I just took a couple of weeks break from social media (here included) because I noticed it was starting to negatively influence how I feel about my own work. Now this surprised me because I like to think of myself as pretty level-headed and mildly self-assured, especially after years of therapy 😅 I never made art for anyone but myself and I never set out to sell or impress. But seeing people on Instagram especially making SUCH beautiful work lately got me feeling like "I'm not enough" or "I'm not doing enough". I think we've all been there at some point. What surprised me this time is that, normally, Instagram for me is a source if inspiration and admiration but something about that changed lately and became more about pressure and competitiveness. Has anyone else found this or felt this? If so, how do you deal with it? I genuinely love seeing other people's work and their successes and don't want to avoid social media - but I need to find a way to not compare. As I say, I'm surprised by my own reaction and it feels a little vulnerable putting this out there but I reckon this little community we have here can relate.. Any thoughts? Kat
