Being an artist is hard.
It can be scary- your paycheck is never guaranteed. If you get sick or injured and can't create, your wallet will suffer, and there's rarely ever any kind of retirement support or health benefits. Materials are expensive, and sometimes in short supply. Not to mention how artistic vision and creativity tend to come and go; sometimes you get inspired and can churn out masterpiece after masterpiece...but sometimes you get burned out, or bored, or discouraged.
Art is also a very demanding career, full of hustle and grind that takes its toll on the mind and body of the artist. Long hours in the studio can make it hard to maintain relationships with friends and family. Often, a whole day of tattooing or drawing or painting causes back pain, eye strain, and hand stiffness. Even if we manage to find the time to go out, travel, or visit with loved ones, it's hard to find the energy for socializing.
Luckily, at the end of the day we have each other! This is what makes being a part of a collective so rewarding and powerful. We laugh together, work together, cry together, and grow together. Not only do we get all the benefits of one another's presence in our lives...our art gets better because of one another, too. That means even our clients benefit from us being a community!
I'm posting this geocache in honor of my awesome coworkers at Satori. It's truly amazing to get to be a part of a whole group of artists who support and encourage one another. My art and my life are better because of this group of creative, talented, and passionate individuals. I love y'all!
