  Post Secret and Supporting Artists
post secret blog
I could relate to this postcard over at the Post Secret blog. Not because I've ever been in a band or lost a lover because of being an artist, but it is an issue that comes up from time to time.
Artists often have to sacrifice a lot for their art, including those that don't believe in the work we do. I don't think it's important for our loved ones to love our art, but I do think it's important that they're supportive.
The person in the "stupid band" above has probably improved since breaking up with the creator of the postcard. Or he/she may just be a masochist and simply attracted another pessimistic partner.
Here's some more Post Secret fun here, here, and the Post Secret book here.

Looks like Im not the only one addicted to the post secret website.
It's a fascinating site and great idea.
 
Post secret is one of my fave websites to visit. I also make it a habit of coming here frequently. I like your blog a lot.
 
Hi
I really like your blog!

Ohh how true; "Artists often have to sacrifice a lot for their art, including those that don't believe in the work we do. I don't think it's important for our loved ones to love our art, but I do think it's important that they're supportive."!!

Adding you to my blog links!

have a great day
 
Glad you like the blog Jafabrit and Shilo.

I have really limited internet access for a few days but will check your blogs out asap.

Cheers
Dion
 
I hope it is limited due to having a holiday somewhere as opposed to internet probs. take care.
 
i think the post secret site is really cool. i love looking at the different post cards people find and then how they choose to convey their message, not that i beleive all the messages. some are just too "out there". have you seen the soul reveal site? soulreveal.com. it looks like it's based on the same theme as post secret.
