There is a killer sale going on over @ Society 6 and it ends tonight at 11:59pm PST, the usual...but it's really a good sale! Hopefully they'll extend it! Doubtful...the uploader was being nice to me, yesterday. Yes, inside secret, I've been uploading the day before...so there will be new art on Tuesday at some point up...but I won't be pushing it until hump day. I find it's a lot less stressing not having to upload the same day, because I never know how long it's going to take. It was running as smooth as the coffee I am practically chugging...chug, chug, CHUG!!! Make sure you get on over there with your wallets and buy some great art! That's Society 6....if your coffee hasn't kicked in. You can also just support me over on the support tab. ((see above)) If you aren't into all the products or just want to support me. What would it go to you ask?! Wellll....
Did you notice the segue card? Okay it may have been a weak one, the coffee is strong, segue's need some work...I digress, Well Painter 2018, THE program I use and love just dropped new brush packs. I have gotten 2 of the I think 5 or is it 4...I'm thinking 5 and too lazy too look it up, even though I should. Yup it's 5...well now it's 3 left. I really want the last 3...buuuuut (that's a big butt) I am running short on the fundage since the upgrade. I did get Bob Ross endorsed one and let me tell you, minions, it was very fun making the happy little trees into disturbing ones...The peanut gallery challenged me into corrupting the happy little stuff into the creepy stuff I do...challenge was accepted...and a piece has emerged....also got Rocks...which is an awesome set. I'd like to complete the set because it is more tools to art the creepy art stuff and abstract stuff, too! Uh oh...here comes another segue card...
BAM! Segue played! I am doing some creepy stuff...plus some creepy abstract. I have been arting a lot this week, even on the day of Dad. More on that later. I have a lot of new art...and I'm just kind of letting myself go...I also cleaned up some old rough sketches, sitting in a file on my desktop waiting...and waiting...yeah...fresh eyes' said nope to 4 of them...but I have another 4 to work on. I am excited to delve into them...I generally do a warm up, then get down to a sketch. I think the new brush sets I have will for sure help a few of the pieces, if not all of them. My new favourite is the Bob Ross set...in my noggin' I narrate like he used to, RIP Bob Ross...but instead of happy, I say twisted, creepy, dark....it's fun. I can say when I was a small lass I remember watching him on PBS and just absorbing what he did...it was fascinating...I think it really was the first thing that jump started me into the art world.
On the side, there is a new piece, watermarked. I still haven't quite gotten over the ease of which the peanut gallery took my art. I am all for art for everyone. I wouldn't charge a lot for a digital file, but it is my livelihood, so you can't go around thieving art, even if it's for personal use...which if you're going to do it, it has to be, my art is copyrighted...I know the dreaded C word. I even decided to watermark the Instagram pictures...it was quite the internal debate, then a discussion with the peanut gallery. I know I'll lose numbers....but...I'll also have my art protected. Practice safe art...and safe other unmentionable stuff...
Onto the other shenanigans'...the day of Dad was fantastic. We bickered, we ate, we chilled out...I have a creepy 3 foot wraith thingy on it's way...I already know where I'm hanging him up...all year round....I am working on a name for him...when he is home and here I will for sure take pictures. He's creeptastic. Not kidlet friendly...I hope he doesn't weigh a lot so I can take him down when the kidlets' come to visit. I don't want to traumatize kidlets...adults, fair game. I'm really embracing the creepy, weird side of me...or quirky, as I've been called, loving it. I think Halloween should be year long....the Dad doesn't agree with me...or even compromise...should start in September and not end until the end of November...even that's not enough time for me...it's my favourite time of the year...crisp weather, spooky spookies, even though technically the jack 0' lantern was to ward off evil spirits...all for that...I think they would be too afraid to come in this house. What?! That was not a challenge...for all the ghosties and goblins...just an observation...I think I'd weird them out. Just saying...
On that eye straining note...I think I'm done. No workout updates, except holy crap am I sore. Remember to head over to Society 6 and grab some stuff...or the Support tab and support the artist. It'd have donate, but I am not a non-profit organization, although some months it feels like I'm non-profiting....Anyways, minions, I shall see you on the day that is hump!
