So sick of the only messages and emails i get are scammers instead of real companies. I want real opportunities to work for companies as an artist.

I’m tired of only getting scam emails and messages. I just wish for once that a real company or a real person who offers a good income for my work would finally want me to be their artist for once. I’m thankful I get commissioned by clients but I do bad want to work with a company for once like doing illustrations for a book or a mural or something. But no.. instead all I get are scammers 😭 I’m so sick of being small and insignificant on social media. I feel like I would get opportunities if I had like 500k followers or something but no companies wants to give me a chance since i’m not popular or well known. I’m thankful for personal commissions and people buying paintings I make though but it just would be a totally different exciting feeling to be hired by a company. 💔 UGHH. Sorry I really needed to vent after clearing out my spam and message requests on tiktok. I’m so mad that not one message or email was a real opportunity. Such a waste of time and energy and is emotionally draining.
