Know what’s depressing? Being named Philip and working on the Phillips account in Philadelphia.
And being a stamp collector, by the technical term for it.
Share your artwork please. What’s making it depressing? How can I help?
I'm not properly compensated and haven't moved up from my position even when I've been here for 4 years because they'd rather hire someone new. I'm willing to learn and take on new challenges so I could grow better as an artist, but the work environment I'm in doesn't really give space for that.
Being an artist in advertising is depressing in general. Try to find ways to enjoy and share your art outside of work. The job is for the money. A lot of Philippine national artists also had corporate jobs to support themselves while doing the art they love. You can do it. - fellow Pinoy
Hang in there! You're not alone and things will get better. Maybe consider switching to another role?
