Hibernation Station

Background of a work in progress

A coldish weekend has arrived and my plan is to hibernate and work on a commission that's long over due. When it's complete I'll be totally free of backlogged work and can move forward in life with my own personal work.
January is totally kicking my butt. All my design projects are awaiting approval and that means I'm awaiting checks and have been all month. I think I'm lifing wrong.
No matter... because my aim is to change all that and some things are potentially in the works to do just that. I'm not redoing last year again-so that means some changes need to be made. There is $50 in my account and bills are becoming late AGAIN. This system is failing me. So this weekend will also be about taking care of business and "looking after number one" as the Boomtown Rats sang.
So much to do! But thankful for a quiet shut-in weekend to do it in.

Everyone got a kick out of my little graphic 😂 But honestly- I really need to sell some art ASAP. Rents just around the corner and I'm becoming a little (ok a lot) worried. I guess the problem with always making your friends laugh is they don't know when you stopped laughing..when your life actually became a dire situation. I can laugh at myself in the worst of times though. If you guys could share some of my Shopify posts though-maybe some art will sell?

Im sure January is just one big ol test of the New Year and once I punch it out-it will be better. But lets punch it out already and get to the good stuff.

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 ...
