I know I can't be alone in this; I'd love to hear from some other artists with aphantasia. Maybe we can share tips and advice about how we cope, or just commisserate with one another. I kind of feel like a bit of a fraud, you know?

I didn't even learn about aphantasia until after I started selling art. It's by no means my primary source of income, not at all unusual for an artist, but I definitely feel like I've chosen the wrong profession to get into! I also can't imagine sounds but I play several musical instruments. It's like I'm most interested in doing things I arguably have zero talent for.
