The first part of arty art news is there's a sale going on at Society 6 that ends tonight! Grab the wallets and feast your eyes on the 2 new pieces of art. There's also the new stickers product...which are very cool. There's a ton of art and a great sale to be had. Support the artist...you can support me in several ways...the Support tab, Society 6 and I also do commissions digitally and traditionally. Don't be shy on the asking for the commissions. You can contact me on the home page here, or the buttons on the side...minus Tumblr...still haven't gotten around to that one yet. I probably should take the button down...I am still getting used to Instagram, which I'm on the very newbie level of understanding.
Second part of arty art news...is kind of mushy...I set aside the current piece to work on a piece for an amazing UK musician, Matt Steady. He really is a light in the darkness that is humanity. He really is trying to be the change in this crazy world. Amazing songs, from his new album (do we call them albums now that it's all digital?) Theory of Ruins. It's hauntingly beautiful and gets the monsters in my noggin' wanting to art...He's for sure an inspiration on a musical level and a human level. I am very lucky to call him my friend. I've been putting Theory of Ruins on repeat and just letting the noggin' monsters go. He has some cool covers and just a lot of really unique music...not to mention he's just an amazing man. Thanks Matt for being that light when it gets too dark...
Said piece I'm working on will not be on my store for awhile. It's going directly to Matt and he gets to feast his eyes' on it for awhile. The music is for sure making me lose track of time and I'm in the mystical zone I talk about every so often. I love when that happens. I haven't had that happen in awhile...it is not only needed on so many levels, but it really got me over a semi-block that the noggin' monsters were struggling with because of all the shit that's going on...globally and personally. You all know I don't go into personal stuff and this is no exception. Just glad that there are a few lights to show me back to where I need to be. Granted, the art and me will always be a bit dark, creepy and twisted...but that is who I am...
In other news...I will be busy arting and adulting today. Yes, I am Canadian, but we don't really celebrate Thanksgiving. It's just the two of us and why the hell would I want to mess my kitchen up making this HUGE meal, well actually it'd be the hubby that does the cooking...I don't really know how to cook a turkey...I am not the chef of the house, although I do the cooking the majority of the time...just no specialty stuff, except desserts, the kind that are healthy and don't taste like cardboard...yes I can do that. I digress, we'd only be cooking for the two of us...no...just no. The dishwasher is the Amanda-Tag and she breaks down easily. So, just no. In the final news of sorts I am still waiting for my brush sets to go on sale, thus far I've been disappointed. I haven't checked today, as I need to get the updates up.
On that note, minions, I shall leave you here...and save some news I had for hump day...I sure hope I can remember it by then...So for the non-Canadians, hope the start of your week is going fantastic...for the Canadian minions, I hope you get to eat yourselves stupid and enjoy the day! Until hump day.
