I want to start off by welcoming the newest minions! We are closer to the 200 on Facebook! Still not there, so keep doing what you are all doing, invite, share, like...Let's get this goal checked off so I can pester you about other things. You know I will be pestering...but there will be a reward...I promise.
Okay, the Closings. While I took the links down to my other 2 stores awhile ago, as of yesterday they are officially closed. There was no action and really they didn't offer everything that Society 6 offered. S6 is the most fair for all of us involved. I almost opened another store this weekend, but after my renowned research it seems like their product was cheap and they really gaffed both the consumer AND the artist. That I will NEVER do to you, my loyal minions. I would rather take the hit and make sure you guys are happy with the product you buy than gaffe you. That's how I roll. The 2 stores I closed weren't bad stores, they just really didn't fit with what I'm doing...so we'll stick to the store I trust...and that has great reviews...from minions that have ordered products.
Onto the trending art. Last time I said I was trashing the first one, and I did. Started the second and it is MUCH stronger, better, disturbing, twisted...just what I wanted. Starting over is never a bad thing...especially when you are hitting a dead end and not able to get around it. Dead is in the phrase for a reason. Last night I worked on it so much my arm stopped cooperating...at first I blamed the Wacom...then I couldn't blame it anymore...it was me...but there was a reason behind it...see the segue coming?!
I cleaned my butt off yesterday. My dearest friend and her kidlets (3 of them aged 3 and under) are coming to visit me today. Always fun and exciting and the shenanigans' are always high. Peanut Gallery and I don't have kid's so it's so fun to have them out. Getting the place ready...not so fun...I swear cleaning is harder than the workouts I do. Plan on a workout before they get here...yes I'm a glutton for punishment...Needless to say after the cleaning my arms were a goopy mess. They recovered a bit and I did get quite a bit of arting done...not even CLOSE to being done.
Bad segue...back to the arting. The trending piece isn't close...and I am working on a few other minor projects....not the Nutcracker...he is packed away for now, because of the kidlets that will be here. Don't want to scare the stuffing out of them...the thing is creepy on it's own. My Dad is looking for other things for me to make all twisted and creepy...even though he doesn't get it...he totally supports and accepts my style of art. Love him to bits for that. Without him or the peanut gallery I wouldn't be anywhere near where I am now.
On that bad segue note...I am off. I have quite a bit to do and would like to be able to get some arting done. Real life stuffs first!! Blah on chores...Make sure you check out the store, FB, Twitter for all the different stuffs that I put up on them. Until next time my lovely minions! I hope you are having a fabulous week and the weekend is awesome! Toodles!
