What happened to VantaBrat?
If you're reading this, hi. I'm Maxx (AKA Vantabrat), and I'm writing this under the assumption that you more than likely knew me from my Pinterest page, my most popular account at 9.4k followers.
I'm taking a huge break from posting art online, and mainly focusing on my career.
Ultimately, I have to be realistic and honest with myself and you all. This is a hobby, I don't plan to monetize off of my art at least anytime soon, as I find comfort in keeping art and profit separate.
That said, trying to juggle both my hobby and entering a career at the moment is not sustainable for my personal well being. This does not mean I'm leaving the internet art community permanently, only temporarily. I'll more than likely also be under a new alias, but don't expect anything anytime soon as of the making of this post.
This is ultimately my choice, I'm an adult woman who runs all of my accounts on my own. In order to do what I love, I need to make sure I'm secure in other spots of my life. Other spots that I can't afford to neglect. This is a bold choice, but I feel it's better than how indecisive I've been for a while now.
While I can't thank each and everyone of you individually, I can thank you as a group and an experience. I will miss this for the time being. Cheers to all the old memories, I hope to create more in the near future. It's been an honor that I could inspire so many others to create art of their own.
