We'll get the SALE out of the way first. Society 6 is having a great sale and it ends tonight at 11:59pm PST...head over there, you know the purple text or the plethora of buttons provided all through this website, grab your wallets and go crazy! There are 4 new pieces up and ready to feast your eyes on...Some fluid art abstract, one surrealish. Oh, only the purple text in this paragraph or if I'm shamelessly plugging Society 6 and myself. You'll see why in a bit...patience, my minions, all will be revealed in good time. Okay, let's move on to the arty art news...
Didn't have too much time to art last week...but I did get some done. I'm still playing with mediums that were not feasible prior to the lobotomy of the PC. I am hoping this week will be more productive, even though it is another busier week for me. I've been networking a bit more, as promised...there's a rant coming...just warning you. I am so happy with the lobotomy and while my noggin' is flowing with ideas, it's a bit clogged, too. Time to grab the mental plunger...I think getting rid of the safety net, probably wasn't the best of ideas, as the clog is getting in the way of the arting. I'm working on breaking through, I have a few pieces going, the surreal does take a lot longer to get done. The fluid art is pretty mindless, but I am still enjoying it. Okay, so remember to check out Society 6 for the 4 new pieces and some of them are brand spanking new...I said them. If you enjoy the spanking...head on over and take advantage of the sale! Yup, shameless plug there. I am working on a piece that may or may not see the store...I decided to take a picture of the peanut gallery and I and make us into monstrosities. The plan is to make me into a creepy doll thing...him I am thinking pure out undead thing...not zombie. More ghoulish than just a zombie, besides zombie is so overdone.
In rants in my pants news...It drives me absolutely batshit crazy when people on Twitter follow you, to unfollow you to pad their precious stats. I caught three of them this week...and their sites weren't even THAT good. Some were downright lame ducks. I just think it's a very underhanded, shitty way to get followers. I wish everyone they did that to was a vigilant as I am so they would have no followers because they are twatwaffles. Yes, I went there. I did mention this is a rant, right? Earn your damn followers...assholes. I get if they are just not interested in my ever changing art style...but looking at their sites and seeing how many followers as opposed to following makes me want to junk punch them repeatedly. Okay rant over and segue card being played...
Still on Twitter there are some amazing people I've met on the site. Here's where the new purple text will lead you to another site. I got the honour of being followed by a YouTube creepy content creator. She doesn't have much up, yet...but I really love her voice and her stories. Her YouTube site is Pleasant_Screams which is just too awesome of a name. We chatted a bit on the Twitter...and she seems to be a really great gal. With what YouTube is doing to all of the creepy content creators is just bullshit...uh oh, another rant...Rolling over to the almighty advertisers aka dollar and giving the shaft to some truly creative people. Albeit dark and creepy, but nothing that is scarring for life...granted I may be a bit biased because I am all about the creepy and dark...the true crime. It happened folks, there are some fucked up people in our world...burying our collective heads' in the sand isn't going to stop it. Anyways, please head over and check out Pleasant_Screams, subscribe. She for sure got my noggin' going with ideas. I'm really rallying behind keeping YouTube creepy because I'm a creepy artist.
With the epic rant of rantiness out of the way, let's try and end this on a sillier note. I hurt myself again...I know, why is this silly...because I hurt myself ALL the time. The peanut gallery keeps telling me he needs to make me a bubble wrap suit of armour. I'm not as resistant to the idea. My arting hand looks like it's gone through a shredder...oops. Rest assured I am still able to art. I gave myself a few tin foil paper cuts, which for those that haven't experienced that, it hurts a LOT worse than a normal paper cut. Burned myself again...this time on my finger in a freak smoking accident...there's been some steam burns on the other hand, but not enough to blister like the one on my right hand. I'll be all bandaged up on our outings. As you all know I am a germ-a-phobe and I do not want the germs getting into the wounds causing infection, plague, low mortgage rates, disease, amputation to happen. Well maybe the low mortgage rates would be okay...but the rest, no.
On the last note of other other news...I've been reading a lot...and still am no where NEAR catching up...I've devoured several books and am onto the Metro trilogy. On 2033 right now...ERMAGHERD freaky shit, right there. I love it! It's for sure inspiring my art and I haven't even gotten into the really creepy parts, so says peanut gallery which is a book ahead of me...I may give myself fuse with the couch day to just read. Maybe not this week as it is a Dad day week! YAY! I am behind in arting, so I do need to focus a bit on that...but when the dust settles a bit...there will be binge reading. Oh yes, there will be.
You made it minions!! I knew you could do it! Remember to head over to Society 6, buy stuff. I will be blogging on hump day this week, Friday is off the table for the time being. Read the previous blog for that reason. So until hump day I shall bid you and adieu.
