Recognition. I want to be recognized. Not just as an individual, but as an artist as well. In less than a month, I’ll be starting college, community college to be specific because plans don’t always work out the way you thought they would, and I’m going in to start my BFA. For those of you who are curious to what a BFA is, it is a bachelors of fine arts, and it’s a daring degree in my opinion. As children, most of us have been told and warned of the dangers that lie in the arts. How you could not be that possibly good to successful in art. Well, I was told this too, but my ability and drive finally wavered my parents doubts and they have full trust in my future with art. I’m very lucky for this acceptance and support from my parents and family because too many artist don’t get they parental push and can-do attitude like I did. So, with all this said, you may be wondering why I am writing this; it’s because I’m apprehensive. Not that I’m doubtful, I’m concerned for my future. I’ve always excelled in visual art since I’ve had a serious interest in drawing and what have you, but I’ve never really been awarded anything. I had scholarships offered to me, and some substantial ones at that, but they were almost insulting due to the amount of debt I would have to go into to enroll. Now my goal isn’t to come off as a whiny brat who just wants attention, but I do want to stand out and be noticed for my art. This is so crucial and necessary to be a successful artist that it’s not debatable. If you are doing art for leisure, it isn’t at all, but for a career, yes, it is needed; it’s like a popularity contest. That’s why I am scared. I feel that if I don’t start somewhere without any type of influence, I’ll almost fail undoubtedly as an artist. This post wasn’t to try to get anyone to pity me or gain their sympathy, no, what I want is gracious support. If you follow and want to continue to see my art, please show that you acknowledge my art and enjoy it’s style and composure. If not, next time you see my art, let me know what you think about it and if not, don’t. Just the acknowledge is very rewarding. To conclude this, if you readers have read all of this mess probably filled with typos and hideous syntax errors, I’m just asking for some recognition. Thank you for the time you spent to read this mess. I will now conclude this post with some very shameless hashtags to bring this rant to life.
