Hello! I’m Srinidhi, a children’s book illustrator and a sketchbook scribbler. I write about life, art and everything in between. All my posts are free at the moment - but if you would like to buy me a coffee and fuel me to continue writing these silly posts please consider paypal. (My stripe has issues)
Thank you so much for your support!
until next time sillies,
If some or any parts of this post resonated with you, please do leave a comment. I would love to hear what you think.
I think this is so hard to keep in mind, especially for creatives! I had a boss who always used to say the phrase “A rising tide lifts all boats.” I try to keep that in mind and, in turn, lift up my peers!
This message is arriving to me at just the right time!! As I've been exploring new spaces online and finding new artists to follow, I read their bios and I see things like "award winning Illustrator" or "children's book author" and I think "shoot! They got to it before me" and then feel so defeated.
Your post is such a great reminder that there is room for all of us! I love the idea of the flat arena instead of the mountain top. It reminds me of a similar mindset I've recently been trying to shift about enjoying nature and just existing in it, instead of trying to conquer it by summiting mountains and achieving better "stats" on hikes. lol idk maybe there's something there!
