I know there’s a lot more I could have covered but with tumblr’s image limit and my own need to get back on personal projects and packing my room up, I stuck to the ABCs of understanding artists and not being a total douche.

Hope this helps a little.

It’s not just tumblr that has this issue, or even the internet in general—it’s society at large.

To everyone else in the world, artists are lazy people who just draw pictures, right? Because magical elves totally design the clothes you wear, or the logos for your companies, or pretty much everything you own, consume, or enjoy.

One thing I never understood is the perception of those who draw or create cartoons are childish. Like…do you expect other kids to be drawing comics or animating cartoons?
