Weekend Warrior

 

Artist

This week was the return to work after two glorious weeks of holiday. It was welcome as I've missed the routine a little. I actually like my job and I haven't had occasion to say that a lot in life. If you are an old friend of mine you know I suffered greatly for many years at the hands of dingdong bosses, verbal and emotional abuse and being treated like a child with no sense of what to do. 
It wasn't until I leaped from that burning plane of dead end jobs into the great unknown of freelancing that I came alive at last.
So here I am, alive at last.. Learning, growing skills, enjoying what I do and not mad about returning to work and making a little money during a pandemic. I remind myself every day I AM LUCKY! 
My job is a little part timey job so there's still hustling to be done on the other days. Like Saturdays...are not weekends. It's another day to work. 
Today I'm doing signage for a client, contacting two friends who reached out about album art and a pet portrait and getting my payroll gig (another small side gig) streamlined. 
If you are feeling kind of lost in the Pandemic chaos and lost your job path...I highly recommend following your heart and what you are good at and interested in. It may not be the high stakes exciting money making career but it definitely gives you a happy heart and fulfillment which is much needed right now. Taking time to grow yourself and personal skills... When will you get this precious time again? 
Ok busy day for me. I also added in skateboard designing into the mix and have so many ideas brewing about that. 
Custom board I designed, one of a kind

I have all the creativity and tools at my disposal to fly. So it's time to work my wings this year. Have a great weekend friends, whether you're working or enjoying a break. ❤️ What kind of work have you been wanting to try your hand at?

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 ...

Top 10 Reasons

  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 ...
