I hate my cartoons so much I don't even like being associated with them. They don't teach me anything new, there's nowhere to push myself with them. But nobody likes the stuff I'm actually passionate about. I see other successful artists with similar styles and I don't know what I'm missing. My cuter stuff got me up to 10k instagram followers and it's rapidly dropping now that I'm making stuff that makes me happy. Why even bother sharing.
