“Creating a life that reflects your values and satisfies your soul is a rare achievement. In a culture that relentlessly promotes avarice and excess as the good life, a person happy doing his own work is usually considered an eccentric, if not a subversive. Ambition is only understood if it’s to rise to the top of some imaginary ladder of success. Someone who takes an undemanding job because it affords him the time to pursue other interests and activities is considered a flake. A person who abandons a career in order to stay home and raise children is considered not to be living up to his potential-as if a job title and salary are the sole measure of human worth. You’ll be told in a hundred ways, some subtle and some not, to keep climbing, and never be satisfied with where you are, who you are, and what you’re doing. There are a million ways to sell yourself out, and I guarantee you’ll hear about them.”

Anonymous asked: How do you have a lot of motivation for your drawings?
Drawing is one of the only things I genuinely love doing, and it keeps me from ever being bored, which is usually enough to keep me motivated.

Pick of the Week: WormsWormsWorms Revisted
citizenerasedphotography:
“This week I am doing something new for pick of the week, I am revisiting a store that I’ve already done before as a kind of an update and really just because WormsWormsWorms is one of my favourite stores on Etsy to look through and see what’s new. You may notice I do a lot of artist run stores as I love surrounding my house with artwork. The last time I ordered from her, I receive more of her grotesque and beautiful stickers, as well as an original drawing…..”
More of my pick of the week on my main blog: here
With lots of photos of all the goodies I’ve gotten from her lets just say I’m in love with her art style. :)
She’s on tumblr too: http://funnyskullgrin.tumblr.com/
I have the most awesome customers!
