We'll start with a really exciting piece of news! Society 6 is launching yet another new product. Backpacks!! You can pre-order them now...they look amazing and it's perfect timing for back to school. Send your kidlets to school with really cool arty art backpacks, or use them yourself. They are pretty bad ass. I think I may have to get one. Use it as a purse, because I'm just crazy like that. The craziness is verified...by many. The 4 new pieces that are brand spanking new on Society 6 are on the new backpacks. I have not put the older work on them, as it would take away from the arting. They are specifically sized, so I figured, from now on...there will be art on the new product. Really amazing stuff...segue card being played....
Still haven't found a secondary store as of yet...but I didn't have a lot of research time this week. It was busier than I had anticipated and there is a plague forming in our apartment...could be allergies...for me at least, but I think the peanut gallery got run over again. Poor guy. I'm hoping it's just allergies for both of us. No plague!!! NO!!! I am hoping to do some more research this week. If you'd like to support me without actually buying stuff, there is a tab, to the right of My Noggin that says Support. Any and all support goes directly back into the art...yes, I know I'm primarily digital, but it's not cheap...from software to hardware...I am also doing Traditional and Digital commissions...so if you'd like some personalized art, feel free to contact me. There's a ton of ways that can happen, including the homepage of this site, Facebook, Twitter. Don't be shy, or think I'm too busy. Another segue card with a rant...then back to the arting....
Since when did Twitter turn into Tinder?! I know they sound the same, but for fuck's sake some people...Granted, there are a lot of amazing people I've met there. Talked shop with, help out and made friends with...it's the booger eating morons that are telling you they love you and you're they're angel after less than 24 hours of following you which I don't get. Yes, I know there are scammers that do that...but it irks me all to hell...almost as much as the number grabbers...found a few of those this week, too. I enjoy meeting new people on the social media sites I'm on...I don't enjoy being hit on relentlessly even after I say that I'm happily married. This is one case that I'm glad my fuse is short...I do not tolerate shit like that...my Twitter is one of my art sites. As far as being called an angel, I am almost laugh so hard I cry, anyone that knows me would never call me that...that wouldn't even be in a top 20 on the list of describing me. Bah!
Rant over...whew...in arty art news. I did get quite a bit done last week. I have a mini safety net going. I am planning on doing a lot of art and research this week....if the plague doesn't get me...more on that later. I was really happy to see Society 6 put out a new product. It makes me wonder if I should open another store, but I am still set on opening another one when I find the right one for me. That's the tricky part. I may actually go for one that you need to apply for. I'm used to rejection in the art world when I was trying to get published with a friend. Doesn't bother me. You need thick skin to be in this biz and know that your art isn't for everyone and the trolls' are out there. Waiting. I've been very lucky dodging the trolls, but getting rejection letters has made my proverbial skin very thick. Art is very relative. One man's treasure and all that jazz.
Onto the more with a dash of plague...My new workout routine is brutal...awesome, but wow, this may be a 2 month routine just to get up to the weights I am used to. That is not a bad thing. It is fun, too. Makes me want to workout, a huge plus. I'm really hoping that neither of us have the plague and if it's too late for the peanut gallery, I hope I don't get it. I'll be in OCD wipe down mode this week. I'm feeling a bit run down, but it could be allergies. I just am not sure. We shall see. I'm sure on hump day I'll know....I almost forgot, let's segue back into art news, then I'll let you go on with your day...
I am thinking of splitting update day up...Society 6 does take quite a bit of time to upload, so I was thinking of doing 2 pieces on Monday and then again 2 on Wednesday. If you have thoughts, comments, suggestions, leave them in the comments below or if you're shy contact me directly. It will make it a bit easier for me to split them up. Faster, too. I'm on hour 3 of the updating. I figure I blog on Wednesday either way, so why not make it not just the blog but some art too!
On that severe eye strain note...I shall bid you an adieu and see you on hump day. The changes, if they happen will be next week. I will of course keep you posted. Until hump day!!
