Added 2024-09-13 18:04:31 +0000 UTCGotta be the worst art opinion out there, especially with how prevalent it is.
Brother when I'm depressed i'm just sitting on the couch eating chips rewatching fruits basket, not moving an inch for 4+ hours

Yeah. Van Gogh made his art when he was doing better and responding to treatment. He wasn't able to produce art really when he was very depressed. Like I'm not saying he was completely free of it all the time when he painted, but like, the idea that he painted so much and so well because he was depressed is such a misconception.

2024-09-16 08:21:58 +0000 UTCAAAAGH I HATE THAT! It’s also the complete opposite! Van Gogh was undergoing and responding well to psychiatric treatment when he painted so much of his art! ough I gotta watch the remake of Fruits Basket… i keep putting it off

2024-09-13 20:58:04 +0000 UTCI'm very sorry... If you'd like my explanation, tho its not an excuse, it's not because I have any resentments, I truly have nothing but love, but I just wanted to draw an animal that was just a circle so that I could draw it being thrashed in my teeth very easily....

2024-09-13 19:36:30 +0000 UTCGOD I got a similar comment during my senior portfolio where some guy looking at everyone's portfolio told me he wanted to be my art director to manage/channel the energy of my pieces from my depression I was shook

2024-09-13 18:54:23 +0000 UTCoh same. my brain works in such a way that if my depression reaches a certain threshold I'm inmediately teleported to the couch and I'm already somehow five episodes deep into froobs.

2024-09-13 18:30:57 +0000 UTCI heard Van Gogh made Starry Night when he was in a mental hospital getting treatment for his depression. So that example doesn't even hold up the argument.

2024-09-13 18:12:05 +0000 UTCI remember so strongly someone once telling me I should be grateful for my trauma because it made me creative and I was like in a heartbeat I’d switch to not having trauma and not being creative id be CHILLING in an office job. Just having a great time as an accountant for real

2024-09-13 18:08:04 +0000 UTCSitting on the couch eating chips and not moving an inch for 4+ hours is depression? I thought I was practicing "self-care"!!! I should start going back to therapy...
