There's a huge sale going on over at Society 6 on all things bedding...and I have a lot of product in that department. So hop on over, purple text or buttons and check it out! It's a sneaky sale that doesn't need a special link, but I didn't know what the hell was going on until this morning. Ends tonight at 11:59PM PST, so head on over to Society 6, bring your wallets...they absolutely have fantastic product. I'll probably be shamelessly plugging throughout the blog. Unless I note that the purple text is for something else, you can make it over to Society 6 to check out the art and the sale! Here comes a segue card....
Speaking of online stores...I was really thinking of opening another one up. Why you ask? More options for product, more exposure for my art...I'm still researching...I've done a lot of that in the past. I have one in mind buuuut...and it's a big but, it needs transparent images...which I am pretty sure Painter 2018 can do, and I've been experimenting with that...but it's odd because there are some technical bumps I'm running into. I got it to work, but I'm not sure it'll work. I guess my biggest hold up is doing the sign up and getting art up and having it rejected because of the technical bump I'm experiencing. The store I'm eyeing is totally different than Society 6, it's more commercial, so that would mean splitting time and art up. Splitting art up is kind of a good thing...I figured IF and it's another big IF I do this, I'll be doing the Society 6 updates on our usual Monday and then the other store on this day. I've read the reviews, done a lot of research and I'm not 100% sold, yet. There are a few other stores I want to look into, but those you apply to be a creator on. I'm okay with that, but I'm also not okay with that. I see both sides of it. It would be a cool challenge for me. All the stores I'm looking at are more commercial/graphic design work rather than fine art work. I know Society 6 covers both aspects but again, I also know I've been putting all my eggs in one basket and that's never a good thing. Before the re-brand, I was running 3 to 4 stores. One sold out or I'd still be there, and the other shut their doors, just recently. I am still in the heavy research mode of it and if I can find a store that's right for me, and for you my minions then I'll do it. I'll keep you all posted on the progress. I know I will be opening another store, it's just which one and when. I am confident in my graphic/commercial abilities. It's good to be versatile in this day and age. I think that goes beyond just being an artist.
In other art news, art wasn't done. A lot of research, see above, but no arting. I plan on doing that the rest of the week and doing more research. I have decided to take the quasi-weekends a bit easier because I realized, I need breaks...even though I wouldn't really call this quasi-weekend a break, per say, but it was as much of a break as I can manage without going batshit crazier than I already am. I am planning on a lot of arting this week...even if tomorrow is a Dad day. I need to do a lot of different arting as well...just in case I do launch another store. I want the art completely different, and it kind of has to be for the other store...
In more news...I get to find a new torture (aka workout) routine today. YAY! I have a few in mind, but I want to go over them...and choose the right one. I change it up every month so my body doesn't know what the hell is going on...This last one was good, but I couldn't do quite a few of the exercises because of my injuries. It will be one I will go back to, in a few months. Fun stuff. I liked it, but it wasn't really yielding the results I wanted, either. I'm thinking because I had to modify a lot is the cause. A lot of the injuries flare up when it's humid and boy it has been that. Either way, it's time for a change up and that'll get me pumped to workout...haven't been excited to workout this month...more forced myself to rather than wanting to...I still do it because it really does help on so many levels...not just feeding my vanity.
On that vain note...make sure you check out the sale over at Society 6 and I will see you on Monday! Unless, I do launch a store then it'll be that day that I launch...I am not anticipating a store launch as there is a lot more research to do. On that note, Toodles!
