You have to do something to persuade yourself that it's okay to create, because you'll rarely find existential support even if you have verbal support at times. Not one of my art teachers failed to hate, hate, hate my artwork. Not because it was unskillful, either. My "take" was way outside anything they were prepared to related to. Bless their hearts!
Bless their mess indeed. Creativity is hard because it is so subjective. There are many creatives who I admire but whose work I don’t relate to. Past, present, and future. Not my cup of tea, for me, never means I won’t cheerlead though. I’m just one dude with one opinion. I’m usually wrong. :-p
