I've been working on my sister's tattoo design. It's supposed to be two "sea stars," as my youngest sister and other sister call each other "seastar," with an infinity symbol incorporated.
I don't want to say anything and cause a stir, because I'm hella peaceful, but one sister being all, "Design my tattoo for me for our sister and me," seems kind of frowny face. I mean, I tried to justify it to myself, like, "It's a tattoo designed by me, for BOTH of my sisters," but I still feel weirdly excluded.
SO yeah. Been working on that today, and feeling kind of bummed out. It's like, I always have to do art for everything, but I'm always kind of detached from it in a way, because it's not me that's doing whatever; it's what I draw. I feel like I'm drawing for a client instead of making something substantial for a family member. I'm just the artist; I'm not a real part of the work itself. I'm making something for other people and that's it.
Bums me out.
