Thrills! Chills! Bills! 💀

It's October 21st and the clock is ticking!

While all my friends are enjoying the upcoming Halloween festivities, discussing scary movies and debating the purpose of candy corn...Im fully involved in matting, printing, shipping and working for the rent. Im in my own scary movie 😜😂 but I have my good humor about it.

(Matting all the things to ship out)
I was blessed with sales the past two days and a friend threw me a little gig helping her pack yesterday so the electric bill has been graciously split into two more manageable payments after paying a good chunk of it yesterday. It got me in survival mode for sure...I have rounded up:
Candles, a metal percolator, charcoal, fuel, a little fondue set that I guess I thought I could heat simple liquids in like soup etc...and batteries.
At least if there's an outage Im slightly more prepared 😂
I missed the Fair this year but I'll shoot for next year. I upgraded my living situation but it came at a price..more rent due. So now I have to upgrade my working situation so it balances out. Working on it! This month has been a reminder it's all on me to make that magic happen...waiting for second parties to get to round two and cut checks...that's asking for lights out.
Getting my business off the ground is where my head is right now.

Nothing makes you feel more abundant than being able to help someone else. I happily donated this 24" x 24" gallery wrapped canvas painting and art print to a local artists cancer fundraiser. Auction details TBA.

Can't say enough THANK YOUS to everyone who made purchases and donations to help me out. ❤

Fingers crossed my Mom finds a house soon. Fingers crossed I can keep hustling to get the rent together. Fingers crossed those invisible checks find their way to me soon. I think I ran out of fingers to cross 😂
But TODAY- we're alive, hopefully healthy and we have orders to ship out and hustles to hustle.
You guys watch some scary movies for me and eat all the candy. Hopefully I can resume an easy pace in time.
Oh just added that BAT PRINT to my Shopify..and still 30% off with code FALLSALE 🎃 Tell your friends, get some early holiday shopping done and eat some candy corn!

Digital Vacation

Have you looked around and discovered you have filled your life with bad habits? If you said NO- good for you, you might not be human! 😁 I was experiencing a major BLAH and it was all because of ME. What I spent time on, consumed, did and did not do. I also felt like the willpower I used to have in abundance was gone and I wondered if I would ever get it back. First and foremost I had to look at my main bad habits. What was the very first thing I did every day. EVERY DAY! I reached for my phone, I social media blitzed my brain over two long cups of coffee every morning. I made sure to look at my MEMORIES like it was my job every day. Ruminating on the past and seeing everyone's angry opinions and celebrity/political posts and regurgitated memes ad nauseum....is actually not a very optimistic and healthy way for me to cruise into the day. Not only is this not good for my spirit it wasted almost two hours of every morning. 💀 That's precious time! I'm weaning mys...

So what's the Scenario?

Street Artist 'My Dog Sighs' Paints Faces on Cans Found Littered on the Street I found this interesting art on Pinterest and thought it would be a good example for a proposed scenario.....indulge me if you will.... The scenario is this....this street artist paints on cans. Pretty cool right? Pretty neat! He's probably not the only one who paints on cans in the world but he most likely is the only one in his little neck of the woods and art circle. Ok, let's pretend I invite this CAN painter to be in this big group show we do annually at my gallery. (This is pretend land, I dont have a gallery but roll with me...) Ok, he is a hit, everyone thinks his can faces are awesome and he's considered pretty unique for doing this medium in our little art circle. Ok fast forward into the future....it's a year later and it's time for our big annual show...here's the scenario....we don't invite the CAN artist to come show again BUT we do hand out a can ...

Have you seen Labyrinth? The scene where she finally realizes she had the power all along and that actually Gareth did not ...that's powerful stuff. My favorite part....aside from every scene with David Bowie prancing about in too tight leggings. 😁 My digital vacation got interrupted yesterday. I've still been checking my messages in Messenger because HI IM AN ART BUSINESS AND THAT DONT STOP. I was alerted that the scammer had hit up a mutual friend and because I was trying to be Art Spiderman I went swinging back online to see what was going on. Unfortunately the scammer got someone and I had to make another PSA about it to help my peeps understand what was going on. Barring that though... it's up to YOU to be SMART PROACTIVE RESEARCHING humanoids. I can't save you. Also my brief pop into fakebook gave me enough fodder to want to keep my vacation going. Here's what I was met with on messenger and on my page upon landing: 1. People pushing politics/celebrities ...
