There are three new pieces up on Society 6 this week, along with the killer sale that changes everyday to add yum to the deal. Head on over...check the three new pieces out and take advantage of the sales...instead of buying from big box stores, support an artist...it's unique, the prices and products are fantastic. Plus, you get to get that happy, warm, fuzzy feeling knowing that you are supporting an individual AND getting your loved one something super unique! Win-win. With the shameless plug out of the way...let's head on to the arting!
I've actually had a LOT of time to art this week. To a point where the Art and the Eye Strain title blends into one. Yeah, yesterday was a marathon of arting...with The Pat and Brian Show up and running non-re-runs...or ones that I haven't heard a bazillion times...I got a LOT done...even though looking at the piece from afar it looks like I barely dented it. It's another intense one, with a beastie! It'll be another I lost count of the hours sort of piece. I can already guarantee that....I'm good with that. I really get into the "zone" and not the twilight kind...or Outer Limits...although what I'm doing you may question me on that...that is fine...question away.
I've done more research on the new stores I was going to apply to...**note past tense** Yeah...they are not on my continent for one, which doesn't matter. That I did confirm. The reviews, however, really had me cringing as there were a lot more complaints than there were compliments. That put up all sorts of red flags. Granted, most people don't post a compliment when they are happy with what they got, but they do vocalize their displeasure when things go awry. When I was looking it wasn't even a dozen complaints...it was up in the 100's...yikes! The time stamps were pretty much all this year, too. I decided to pass on applying. I am looking for another store to set up shop in...that offers different products rather than the same as Society 6. I will find one...I just need to do more research is all. I'm okay with that. I want to make sure you, my loyal minions, get the best product possible.
On that note, I hope everyone has a great week. I'm really not sure if I'll be blogging on Friday or not. That is a bonus blog, if anything. I think most likely I will be arting, cleaning and working out some kinks in the D&D game I'm running. It for sure needs some tweaks, but I've stepped away for a few days, just to come down off of it, and think, ponder, mull if you will, on where I want the game to go...I won't bore you with details...it is for sure creative work...and it's fun. I'm glad it doesn't do what playing guitar does to me. When I play guitar I get blocked with art...and vice versa...I miss playing, but I know I'd miss arting more. My art and the game seem to fuel each other...which is a huge relief for me.
Okay, for real now...I will stop rambling on...I'll take the eye strain for all of us...trust me there is a dose of eye strain coming for me...and some working out, too! Hope everyone is having a great week and a betterer weekend! Yes, that is a technical term. Until next time! Toodles!
