One year ago, I wrapped up on my last animation project as a storyboard artist, and haven't worked in the industry since. Now, I'm here to show what my life is like on a daily basis without a 9-5 job, and focusing more on graphic novels, content creation, and patreon as an artist based in Los Angeles.

im turning 17 have slowly turned my 2d animation, illustrations and writing hobbies into a part time job, and its been fun. I've been struggling with the imposter syndrome lately so seeing someone who older than me and being able to be an independent artist makes me happy to know I'll one day be able to be in the same position.

[@RainbowPotatochips]

I actually started doing my old hobbies again. Playing video games going to the gym watching TV and reading manag and other books. I just need to come up with a good schedule so I can make time to work on my comic. 😅

[@mushroomlena]

Your new graphic novel pitch looks like it’ll be so good. The art is gorgeous and I love the 80s vibe.

[@juliesteam3762]

I live in France and I saw your graphic novel in a library, I'm so happy for your success! It's very motivating!

[@loredo182]

I'm always amazed when people makes full pieces on procreate but even more so comic pages, congrats on all the hard work you make and thank you for always helping the art community with all the content/information you share!

[@joshhagenart]

I always find comfort and stability when I go back to The Artist's Way. 😁👍

[@Blobri]

The travel thing is such a cool idea, though It pains me to know all the best opportunities come from privilege. Everyone joining the trip will already have a step up in their career journey. What are your thoughts about this?

[@sharonyang8822]

THIS

[@saramations]

Traveling abroad doesn’t make you a better or more desired artist. What makes you think it gives someone a step up? 😊

[@mewTripled]

There definitely is some live of privilege / luck involved with any great opportunity, but at the same time I don't think I can say everyone who attends the trip is 100% that. Many people are either using payment plans, saving up, or have already worked for some time to accumulate the savings for it. I don't think it will automatically grant people a step up in their art careers as some people will be non-artists thinking about transitioning careers, and some people are a lot older and rethinking their paths. It's a lot more nuanced than just privilege in my opinion! I have a discord group where I get to speak with all my travelers, and I can definitely guarantee it's not a 100% privilege type of situation!

[@nhavi6]

Cannot believe it has been a year since the lay-off. Thanks for sharing your precious reflections. ❤

[@emilems412]

6:04 I’m very excited for the new graphic novel project you’re working on! I saw in another video on how the style you have for the project is inspired by Rumiko Takahashi and it makes me even more excited!!! ♥️ (I LOVE Inuyasha 😭)

[@Amai.Eunhacat]

Congrats on the hosting the trip experience! This is so cool!

[@wemdoe]

I love the Artist’s Way. ❤

[@ChantelleArts]

It's so lovely that you're sending your patrons drawings! 🥰

[@_jadesayshi_]

I’ve started to take my art seriously now for me to get to a comfortable spot in my life and videos like this really help me stay motivated. Thank you 😊

[@BlueBelle277]

It’s cool to see how you evolved I subbed to you back in my fanimation era in high school 😂 ❤❤

[@SuperEdo45]

You’re so brave! Wish you absolute success!!!

[@reginarhm8643]

Your videos always inspire me to pursue my career. Thank you so much

[@ModernFennec]

I love your videos

[@theghostlycatt]

This is soooooooo helpful!

[@mewTripled]

Im so glad!! 🙏🏼

[@pyeitme508]

Wow good stuff🎉

[@mewTripled]

Thanks!

[@pyeitme508]

@@mewTripled ya welcome 😁

[@RisingJay]

7:54 trying to build the runway and balance college/youtube and post-college plans currently, so definitely understand the ideas here! getting beyond some of the mental hurdles about "what's next" are still a bit daunting to me tho 😅

[@darksidevenom6]

who publishes your books and how do you approach a publisher?

[@wenFFBE8372]

Congratz being a full time artist !

[@thevioletcreator]

This was a nice home style vlog with voice over. Not the usual talking head..or running around town vlog (not that its bad) this was different 😊

[@Amai.Eunhacat]

I just checked ur paterron and the last tier is sold out. If there were to be a spot in the future how would I be able to find out? tysm

[@TrashyAshey]

Can you give tips on finding agents? I’ve been trying with no luck. How do you get agents to come to you?

[@mewTripled]

I talk about it here!: How to START Your Independent ART CAREER kzbin.info/www/bejne/l33UomyJn62XhJo And here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/m3e9n42thrqVjaMsi=OUeSZw4AJfNRAJ8k

[@applepretz5368]

Mewtrippled random question, How often do Animators in the Los Angeles industry create animation using punched paper and a acme pegbar for animation? How often did you come across that method so far in your career?

[@mewTripled]

Pretty much never! No one uses those anymore 🙁

[@fuzzydragons]

being self employed def is hard but def still need to take time for yourself and eating sushi with friends will do that and maybe give you an idea for a comic 🙂

[@DavidNunezPNW]

You're in LA? I love little Tokyo and little Japan in Santa Monica

[@mewTripled]

Yep I have been here for the past almost 10 years!

[@TheDrodder]

Dammit, i just bought the artists way after this vid!

[@hanovak4700]

I've a question, maybe someone here can help me out, I hear having an agent is better to get hired and stuff, but is that possible for some that's not in the US? I'm from latin america and tbh that's never been brought up here. In this case, I'm asking if someone outside the US can get an US agent. Btw, thanks for the videos and content is always helpful ❤❤❤❤

[@marknathaniel9230]

what about your youtube salary? i mean your blog.

[@chloek1182]

would you talk about what you're unlearning from art school?

[@mewTripled]

Made a vid about it here! Why I Had to Unlearn Everything from Art School kzbin.info/www/bejne/jITCophqoLuUZ5Y
