- "But how can you really grade art? Isn't it a matter of opinion?"

Things NOT to say to an art major/artists in general.

You’re so lucky you don’t have to buy textbooks!

You’re a really good drawer.

Can you draw me?

Did you draw that? (No, I’m just running my pencil over someone else’s drawing for fun)

That’s so good, it looks traced!

Did you trace that?

Design my tattoo! (This is what tattoo artists are there for)

Draw this thing for me!

*pretty much expecting/demanding any art for free*

I can’t even draw a straight line. (Neither can I. There are these things called “rulers”)

Can you teach me to draw?

Was that freehand?

I wish I was born with artistic talent. (Saying things like this discredits all the effort we actually put in to developing our skills.)

*TOUCHING THE ART*

I’m Sorry For All The Things Your Disorder Took From You

Not sorry

The Price of Sugar

When I was a little girl, if you’d asked me what I wanted to be, ‘starving artist’ wouldn’t have even been on the list.

Most likely I would have told you ‘a dinosaur’ or ‘an astronaut’ – and later, when I realised that children couldn’t become dinosaurs and brown girls from New Zealand couldn’t become astronauts, I would have said ‘a teacher’ or ‘a nurse’. At school I got progressively worse at every subject but English and Art, but in my teens my aunty got me a part-time job as a cleaner at the local hospital. I thought at the time that the money wasn’t too awful, and I was good at it. I enjoyed cleaning; even if sometimes what I was cleaning was explosive diarrhoea or blood-laced vomit.

After a while you got used to most of the smells. Well, except for Clostridium difficile – otherwise known as ‘C. Diff’. But thankfully I rarely had to clean up after one of those patients.

Here are my pages that I did for - “The Answer” Golden Book by Rebecca Sugar! My friend Tiffany Ford illustrated the first half of the book and I did the second half. I’m grateful for the positive attention that it’s been receiving and that it was recently added to the NY Time’s bestseller’s list!
