/ic/ - Artwork/Critique

I had a falling out with a few artist "friends" because they were social-media whores who only wanted to be creative if there was enough cameras around. I shared everything I had, gave away art supplies when they were making shit tonnes of money and I was near-broke, did everything to keep the team going, except they wouldn't participate in actually learning or work on group projects (life drawing, paint nights, ect). Got so sick of hearing what a great idea it all was and how much they wanted to do it, but whenever I got things planned, nobody would show up and they'd be at home too stoned. They'd hoard their own ideas/suppliers/techniques and wait for me to execute mine before trying to one-up me constantly by spending more on materials or hiring other artists. They're all in it for the fame, while I feel like I just want to be a master artist. I've been studying daily, painting and drawing non-stop and made tons of progress since I told them to go fuck themselves after some petty bullshit went down. If they want to be jealous bitter cunts because of my own successes when I've done nothing but help them out, then they better hold onto their seat-belts because they may have more social-media followers at the moment because they're literally e-whores but my work speaks for itself. I have a growing list of private-collectors, working on exhibitions with some galleries and I know I can only grow from here.
It just feels a bit lonely not having anyone around with the same goals and having people just use me for their own promotion/profit, but success is the best revenge and I know I'm gonna make it. Fuck those guys TT___TT
