There’s a lot of negativity in the various art communities, which is why I really like Aaron’s Comic Manifest podcast. It’s upbeat and positive and focuses on talking to artists about things that can really be helpful to others. I enjoyed listening to it in the past when I needed a bit of a boost while working, so it’s pretty cool to have gotten a chance to be on it.
This happened ten years ago, when I had to get my nails done for a wedding. I haven’t had another manicure until my own wedding in September. I didn’t enjoy that one either.
My face is super asymmetrical, which means the face I see in the mirror is super different from the one I see in photos, and it always freaks me out. I’ll probably never know whether I am actually as gross as I look in photos or if I’m just not at all photogenic, or if it’s a mix somewhere in between. :|
