I'm always happy to share knowledge! Every artist I know is also very open! Just PLEASE say thank you when someone goes out of their way to answer questions or share info (learning not to ghost people after they help you is a valuable career skill).
Share your knowledge if/when you can. Teaching other people how to do what you do doesn’t lessen your art - it just means more and better art for everyone.
I appreciate when people are willing to tell me about their brushes, how they study, etc… I want to put that back out into the world.

(sigh) So the knives are out & Paramount is now engaged in a hostile takeover of Warner Bros.
It's becoming harder to not see Warner Bros being acquired by somebody & that the best case scenario currently available is that it's NOT by Paramount. Or maybe this goes into litigation & drags on 3+ yrs

Have you ever been lost for a word and the only alternative that comes to mind is the snobby sounding version of the word?
Like it's a 6th grade word you're looking for but all you can come up with is the college level option.

For people who think book banning isn't a big deal because even if they're not available in libraries and schools, you can still buy them--this is an elitist argument. Most kids ONLY have access to books from their library. Libraries ensure info access for all. Libraries are vital in democracies.
It's not a badge of honor when books get banned. It stinks for everyone. For the book creators, who worked hard to create something special that now won't be shared. The kids who miss out. The librarians and teachers who are treated like criminals. And taxpayers who have to pay for this nonsense.
