it's time to be an artist.

[@iamrjdennis]

"Human connection will be more valuable than ever, and that is what art is all about." THANK YOU! 💛

[@ruwgirl]

❤🥺

[@CC-223]

This is exactly what I needed; thank you so much! I’m at the very beginning of my art journey and trying to get better. However, sometimes the doubt is overwhelming and it makes me question my arts worth. To anyone that is reading this who is going through something similar I hope the best for you! Let’s do our best to make our dreams come true!! 💕

[@ruwgirl]

Omg you're so sweet ❤

[@Lizartstuff9710]

Yess exactly this! Omg do you have insta or something? Let’s make our dreams come true! 💖

[@AmandeCharlotte]

Thanks for ur words, thats so cute. Much love for u and ur art ❤❤❤❤

[@jabbad2992]

Same here

[@poneyfeathersart1442]

Detach from the fear of failure. Detach from the need for praise from others. Lean into the joy of the process. Im crying right now. You nailed everything that's going through my head. I have a KZbin channel that's been dormant for years while I try my best to hit everyone else's goals... thank you, Uncomfy, for the pep talk. Much ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@meaningoflife7199]

Your art is so beautiful, subbed

[@DiárioDa.Larissa]

You have no idea how much this came at the right time. Even if it doesn't work out, the goal is to allow yourself to try, thank you!

[@peterxyz3541]

“Failure is the proof that you tried and kept trying”❤️

[@familiar_foes]

This video honestly made me tear up. Tammy, I consider you one of my best “KZbin friends” I can’t wait to see where life takes you and your art! Looking forward to when your shop opens again so I can snag myself a cute desk friend. I am about to celebrate 3 years of doing art/design as my full time income. To anyone reading this. Just start drawing/creating, put your stuff out there, and don’t give up. ❤

[@melaniegriesemer]

“Constantly tired, yet restless at the same time” wow that feeling is so relatable and described so perfectly

[@Oyasumin9yu]

Thank you Tammy. I've been lost. I've loved art since I was a little kid, I would spend hours just to create. I'm 19 this year, lost with my studies. Hearing you say "what's the point of it all" really resonated with me. One day, I know for sure, I will succeed as a creative, as someone who has dreams to start her own small art business.

[@whoviankaleigh4113]

I'm a freelance writer, but I had to pick up a part-time job this year because things got rocky. Today I put in my two weeks' notice at the part-time job to get back to writing full-time. Though I work with words, it's an art form that brings me so much joy, even when the work itself isn't that creative at times. To hear "it's time to be an artist" on the day I put in my notice...I'm a little teary! Congrats to you on everything you've accomplished, btw, and thank you for this timely video.

[@d.9882]

Got goosebumps by the end of this, because that last statement about human connection is so true! Love this production and can tell that you really put a lot thought into this❤ You've honestly been an inspiration to me since I found your channel a few months ago🥺❤️

[@Sonaloves2talk]

Thank you, I’m applying to art school in the fall.♥️🥰 Edit: I got into art school! Ty for the encouragement Tammy. I literally think about this video everytime I have doubts about being an artist. I hope this video finds other creatives and we all knock down the barriers and stigma surrounding being an artist. I love you, I see you, keep going.

[@d.9882]

I hope things are going well for you!🩷

[@sergie2822]

Your such an inspiration, I've been struggling artist for 20+ years, it hasn't progress beyond a hobby, I've worked for companies but never worked for myself.

[@lisapicklemagick]

~I know this video is almost a year old but I'm binging through your channel. This video is so helpful and encouraging as someone who is trying to break out into the content and artist world. Thank you for making me almost cry at work.

[@fuminyc]

wow, the way i cried watching this Tammy!! I can't stress to you enough how perfect this video was in timing for me and my life. at the moment, I'm working multiple jobs while uploading videos & making art on the side, and I resonated so much to what you've shared about your upbringing and past -- my single parent is an immigrant also. Your energy and wisdom is beautiful, inspiring, and so candidly captured in this video. Thank you so much for sharing; I believe this was my sign to lean into my callings and pursue the dreams I was meant to pursue. You're talented & resilient Tammy! We're all rooting for you!

[@VeeGeeBajeebeez]

As an artist, there is no waste of materials, only the time spent avoiding them.

[@rileyroo6509]

You truly are so inspiring. I really appreciate you choosing to post videos on here to show how you grow, and to teach others how to grow, too. We love you, Tammy ♡

[@thisisjanamiel]

thank you. i mean thank you for this. been struggling with a lot in my music career, but through you, i was reminded of just focusing on what really matters: being happy and connecting with people through making art.

[@joannedenise8016]

i relate so much to how u feel and it is comforting to know that i’m not alone. i’ve been going back and forth with my art business not knowing if this is what i should be doing. but just like u, this is something i’ve been wanting since i was younger and i am motivated to not give up. u are so inspiring! i love watching art videos while creating, it helps ease my soul when i have anxiety 🥹 lots of love

[@milkiborb]

literally crying watching this, you've inspired me so much with your videos and I hope to become an artist like you. thank you for being you tammy and I wish you the best 💗🩷

[@Madigwenfitz10]

Im crying, this is so sweet. Next week I have a sketch art class. I AM SO EXCITED! im very very very proud of you 🥰

[@dianehinsch]

I agree with you so much on that end note! The human connection is so much more important the more technology grows around us. And I like to think of art as the connection we make with ourselves ✨

[@hannahminnickart]

I'm stepping out of my comfort zone this year and working towards becoming an artist and Deaf Evangelist full time. I'm going to give myself about three years to see where it goes. I have big hopes and dreams for everything. Thank you for this encouraging video. I really enjoy watching everything you create. 💞

[@DalandanBananan]

the reason i started making studio vlogs is because your studio vlog was the first one that i saw 🥺🥺 i hope the art community on YT gets stronger because it gives me comfort to know we're not the only artists out there (and thank you so much for this video it made me feel so much better, i recently quit my job to pursue my hopes of a successful art small biz and my confidence has been going THROUGH IT :'D)

[@dokidokibear_]

This came at the right time, literally I was scrolling through endless jobs that I don’t fit and my chest is heavy and I’m drained, started watching this video and balled my eyes out, thank you Tammy from one uncomfy to another ❤️

[@JustSheik]

I feel this…

[@TheNordicFairy1]

Thank you so much for a very important video, especially for young people wanting to pursue art as a career. ❤ You are right, there’s no reason for artists not to thrive and blossom, and make this world and time better. Keep on going, you’re an inspiration. ✨

[@yaminogame7805]

This made me feel so much better...Just the inspiration to maybe start trying. I'm older than you are, and was told my entire life that art isn't a career. I had a break down at my cooperate job today, because I don't fit in it. I can't necessarily quit it yet, but maybe I can also try a little bit to make something comfy on the side for myself that does bring me joy.

[@HalsYeah]

I really needed this video, it made me tear up and reminded me that I’m on the right path. No matter how hard and stressful all of the pressures of social media and money that come with being an artist it truly brings me deep fulfillment. Like nothing else ever has… You really said it so eloquently too. I have a lot of personal connections to art and it always makes me emotional to watch something like this and really reminds me why I quit my job to peruse the unknown… I just have a feeling it will all be worth it. Thank you so much for the reminder! 😭❤

[@ShelleyVaughnHulsey]

I’m so glad I stumbled upon this video! As a “working” artist (aka decorative painter for 30 years), this brought me back to my “why”. Thank you for brining light and inspiration to what it is to believing in our craft and following our hearts.

[@tachiorama]

I know there are many that already said this, but thank you. Thank you for showing me a peak of what it's like to be an artist, owning and branding your own business, the nitty gritty and hard work, and also allowing us to join in on your journey. It was the push I needed T^T

[@Starchild1144]

I’ve been sculpting all day and thinking the one thing I can do that a robot or so can’t do is sculpt,as that I know of! I’m starting to admire the fingerprints in my clay as I shape it,it is time to be an artist,a true artist. I seen the headline and knew exactly where you were going with this. Beautiful video

[@Slothups]

dude this is exactly how I feel now; constantly tired and restless at the same time. Thank you for opening up, really needed this

[@rayturp6742]

You are so inspiring. I have a room of about every art supply you can imagine and for years I have mostly just wished I would use them. I am so happy to see you doing what you wanted to do.

[@hemoglojen]

Wow. This is honestly, inspiring. I'm happy for your success and your life story is beautiful. I know the hard times were actually helpful in getting you to where you are today.

[@kat.ex3909]

just graduated high school and thoughout my entire senior year I was so worried about what to major in college when all I want to be is an artist. This is just the perfect video at the perfect time :) I felt truly touched

[@pluvio5]

As a fellow artists this video give me so much hope and I want to thank you for helping me feel more comfortable being an artist. New sub 😊❤️

[@haileymaejae]

100% your videos reconnected me with my love of art 🥺💖 I was depressed and just mindlessly watching TV when I wasn't working ... Avoiding life. Now I'm making clay things , painting , and recently got back into crocheting ! I'm just having so much fun 😭 so I thank you 🙏🏼 I even made a craft page on Facebook and my friends and loved ones have been so supportive😭✨ I recently posted a Tik-Tok and I had a couple people say that they loved it and got a good amount of likes and views ✨ so that was really nice, that made my heart happy 💖💖

[@juliaaguilar7210]

Dude, this is so inspiring especially for someone like me who would LOVE to be an artist. I do often fear making that first post to instagram for my art and starting up a business but this video has me so inspired. I feel so called out but in the best way possible. Thank you so much for this video and being an inspiration to many aspiring artists. Your impact is much more than you know 💜

[@tarotducheneblanc]

Right at the perfect time... this video touched me deeply. I am making the jump to be an artist... I'm 44 and my children are older now so I have more time for myself. Art is the only thing that feels comfortable right now, so I'm going in. Made a screenshot of "It's time to be an artist". After trying so many things in the past 25 years, I dare to dream of a possibility of making a living with art. I have to dream.

[@jojocaitlin8508]

Your work is so beautiful love, you deserve it. I've been working at my art buisness since I was 19, it took about two to get it going and i just made it to 500 sales! It goes better and better each year and I wish the same for all of you 🥰

[@YUKi-zo7zc]

Omg Tammy you don’t know how happy and proud I am of you ʕ•ᴥ•ʔ Thank you so much for sharing this inspirational story with us 💖 I needed this ! 🌷

[@jenmu]

ngl this made me tear up, it felt like a warm hug from a friend in these uncertain times 🥲 I've been struggling a lot with motivation and feeling burnt out but this video helped me feel that spark of inspiration return to me 💚

[@cupokat5998]

I got teary eyed 🥺 I am so touched by this thank you Tammy! Been following you just recently but I'm so proud of you! Being uncomfy is so scary and knowing that I'm not alone brings so much comfort. Going to be serious in making my att businesss come true now 🥺❤

[@Talabata]

This feels like a spiritual artist account and I'm here for it! So healing and encouraging! Thank you!

[@covencreates]

the part where you talked about detaching yourself from praise or criticism because there’s nothing embarrassing about trying really resonated with me, thank you 🤎

[@myclaystories_]

i don't know how to express what i am exactly feeling right now. thanks for simply existing Tammy. you are blessed soul on earth. 💗⭐

[@merrychr1stmasVe]

You have inspired so many people! We are all so proud of you Tammy! ❤

[@jennid1573]

I’m rarely moved by videos but the last 90 seconds of this made me tear up. Love your videos and your art.

[@yellowceiling]

your words bring me so much comfort. although I grew up as "the art kid," i never thought that i would make anything of a career out of it. but now, i've just finished my first year at an incredible art school and while i am so happy that i'm here, i can't help but feel immense pressure. what if i don't make it? what if believing in me only leads to disappointment? but as you said, i need to detach myself from the judgements and praises of others and move freely at my own direction. thank you

[@architess]

Lately, the universe has been sending me signs to follow my art soul. I get video recommendations like this one, I hear people in podcasts talking about following your passion, my personal development workbook helped me to identify myself and my values. I am an artist. I have always been. And I think it‘s time to follow my intuition. Thank you

[@TheNanaSprinkles]

This video is sooo wonderful. Thank you for being you, for your art and your story is a true inspiration.

[@hallie736]

I am getting my portfolio ready to finally transfer and apply to an art school, and I have been working on getting products ready to launch my own small art business for a couple of months now... I know what I have to do, and I know it is following my passions that make me feel alive, but it is just so intimidating sometimes! This was the reassurance and "warm hug" I needed right now. Thank you so much

[@alea_9]

Beautiful message! I am an artists and today I am struggling with clients and the concept of art itself...it is so descouraging when people doesn't value the effort you put on things...

[@kageokami138]

"Every failire brings with it the seed of an equivalent success." Thank you so much for taking the time to share this message. I can see that I am not the only one who felt that it came at just the right time for my own journey. Thank you for being brave, overcoming your own anxiety and fears to pursue your true passion and then again to share it with us. Wishing strength and happiness to you and all others who are finding and walking thier true path.

[@vincyanebelin5202]

God I love you so much… Thank you for this vlog, for this message! You made me want to do polymer clay, I wanted to sculpt for years and years, being a graphic designer has never fulfilled me and I'm so glad to hear that you started that way too, that watching videos of other artists made you start it all. You truly bring comfort to our art community, and I'm sure to so much more people. I always await your videos impatiently but this one was a blessing, I'm crying

[@art.by.ayan.]

I love this video 🥺🥺🥺 I really needed to here this . Was feeling a little hopeless . The audio and the visuals 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 chefs kiss 👌🏾👌🏾👌🏾👌🏾

[@poneyfeathersart1442]

Thank you for all the encouragement!! You're a beautiful soul, and I love hearing from you! I'm so UNCOMFY!! ❤ Your videos always make me feel better.

[@d.9882]

I've lost count of how many times ive rewatched this video. It brings me so much comfort. Thank you🩷

[@tammydinh]

this means so much to me ❤️ tysm!

[@elisevelasco8014]

I find myself playing this video over and over again and always end up tearing up and motivated. (And btw, even just from the aesthetic point-of-view this you made a masterpiece of this one - the "It's time to be an artist" part was so well done! Gives me goosebumps everytime I get to that part. Love you Tammy - you are not only a visual artist, you are a poet!❤

[@KendraWilson]

This is very motivating and inspirational Tammy. Thank you for telling your story so freely.

[@itsdaksha]

This was such a beautiful video and reminder to myself, Tammy. Keep them coming, and always bless your soul for spreading comfort to those who need ❤

[@1989hayleyjayne]

Oh wow. You have such a way with words. I actually have goosebumps - you have worked so hard to get to where you are.

[@rahnumeawo]

Tammy, you are my favorite therapist. Love you tons 🫶🏼

[@floofwah]

This came at such a right time!! I have been starting to sell my art online and post a lot of content, and sometimes I feel like it's not worth it, or I'm not good enough to be an artist. Thank you! Also this video made me emotional haha.

[@m.g.4830]

Wow. You inspire me so much I’ve been binging your videos and making polymer clay kitties for fun ❤ you’re so inspiring thank you so much for all of the consistent work and effort that you do, not only for yourself and your family, but for us complete strangers who were scared to start before watching your comfy videos❤

[@hurmaes]

It's Sunday night and I'm here crying at the dinner table after watching your video. I dont even know why I'm crying anymore, but you've inspired me so so much. So thank you for being so courageous in your vulnerability and for being so candid in your story. It feels like a peek into a truly intimate part of your journey, and as someone who has been an overachiever but has never found her passion, I'm actually quite envious of you. I dont know what I'm meant to be, I don't know where I'm going and I don't even know what I'm good at. All I have are half-baked skills in random areas that don't support each other

[@vanessakaliwo]

This was so beautiful and inspiring to watch 🥹 Thank you for sharing your story and journey. I’m starting a new season in my creative career and this was just the encouragement I needed!

[@Winona_Adamon]

I've been in the midst of an internal struggle for the past few weeks regarding my artistic status and my financial situation as a full-time artist - and yet, yet... I'm getting little motivational messages from everywhere (both real and virtual) that keep pushing me to believe and be certain: I've tried to have a "normal" activity and it's the only one that makes me feel alive. So I can say... I'm an artist, hell yeah! 🔥🤘🔥 And thank you so much for this video, I needed it (as a lot of people here). ✨✨✨

[@rebeccamin1575]

Thanks for being so inspiring and sharing your story! I really love watching your videos and it has really encouraged me to start doing more art.

[@luxe.tin-creates]

I think I needed this pep talk today. Inspiring as always!

[@ritarichardson4211]

You are so tapped in spiritually. This is a powerful collective message. Thank you.

[@daughteroftheoneking23]

This is such a meaningful and inspirational video to early/young artists like me. Thank you Tammy, so much love to you❤

[@Rooseveltdraws]

This video is exactly what I need. I been struggling with thoughts of it's to late for me or being stuck with my current situation but thank you for being a positive source for information and motivation. I feel like I can fulfill my dream of being a artist.

[@makaylahgoudy9537]

Just the opening of this brought tears to my eyes. Thank you so much for all you do and the transparency and vulnerability you show in these videos. You are a huge inspiration that helps me push forward in the pursuit of my dreams💕 May you find peace in any uncomfy times ahead💕

[@iamvictoriarae]

Thank you for making this video, its really helped me. Ive been going through a lot lately and have been questioning my path in life and have worried about whether or not I can make it as a creative in this world, but this really pepped me up! Your videos and art are fantastic!

[@elanafernandez8260]

I believe you have truly inspired me to follow my passion for art, just freshly out of high school and a junior graduate. I hope that I can grow such as you did!

[@esel2297]

This made me cry! Especially the final part of you saying that we seek warmth and community in difficult times like these. Thank you so much for sharing

[@GRRN99]

I taught myself how to make copper and silver jewelry over covid..I still don’t feel like I belong when I get invited to events..But I randomly came across your channel and I get how you feel. I watch your videos when I am cutting out copper. ❤ the channel

[@wholeisticmystic]

Thank you for helping motivate other artist like myself to get through that final push to put ourselves out there. Idk about anyone else but I need to be told…. Several times. So thank you

[@prvg2113]

I have been following your videos but your message impacted me in a joyful yet tearful moment of you speaking to me at the end. Thank you for being our inspiration and keep striving Tammy!

[@wessnina]

"people will seek out people" (7:47) - I loved that so much. Thank you:)

[@manacrafts7555]

Your words sing to me, since 2021 I have been finding my craft and now I’m fully embracing my artistic, creative self, but still uncomfy with some things, still trying to ditch the conditioning of the typical starving artist 🎉

[@Dapper3dTv]

Enjoy the process of creating, bc there is absolutely nothing embarrassing about trying, bc there is nothing embarrassing about creating, bc that is the most human thing there is......too create.😎 Words of wisdom. Thank you for this and helping me along my own Journey. Best of luck and wishes for you and yours.

[@emifrco]

Thank you Tammy for your words and this video ❤! I am exactly in a position where I need such a kind and profound reminder of who I am and what I want to achieve 😊.

[@munomunoart]
