We'll start with the art news and it'll segue to the rants. I have 4 pieces up on Society 6 right now. They are all older pieces, still trying to get rid of my safety net. I am thinking of doing another full update on hump day, I really need to get rid of my safety net. I spent a lot of time resizing the older pieces and I still have a lot to go. I really amassed a safety net. I want to get the newer pieces up and ready. I think I'll do two Society 6 uploads a week until the safety net is gone...it's exciting and scary at the same time. The new art I'm doing takes longer, but that being said, I haven't been arting as much as I'd like to. Maybe this is just the push in the right direction for me. I still think there are a few lingering abstract pieces in me. I'm good with that. I just am really focusing on the surreal pieces...speaking of...
I finally finished the piece I was working on and already started the piece that is being created while listening to Under A Banner's latest album. I haven't had a lot of time this past week...but it's partly my fault, partly the allergies...the plague is pretty much gone, but boy oh boy are the allergies kicking my ass this year. I heard it was a bad year...but damn. My back and ribs are still not great from the plague, choked on a bit of water and blew my back out. Which meant fusing with ice packs and the couch...UGH! I digress, back to art, more on the personal stuff later...I am planning to art a lot more this week. The best laid plans....((sigh))
We are on to my rally of #KeepYouTubeCreepy...YouTube is still being total douche dumpsters about demonetizing creepy content. I guess the light at the end of the tunnel may just have been a train. I'm going to stand by my favourite creepy content creator, I haven't had much of a chance to check out his suggestions...but I do plan on it. I wish I could do more, but I figure giving some time on my social media sites is all I can do, so I will do what I can. All any of us can do. It's not just YouTube, but the advertisers as well, it's a sticky mess of bullshit that I just hope ends. The advertisers are being total hypocrites...my favourite kind of people said me never...NEVER!!
A segue is here...sort of. Since I do follow Rob on Twitter. Here comes a rant...I really hate...loathe people that are number grabbers. You know the people that follow you to get you to follow back, then unfollow to pad their precious numbers. It's a pet peeve of mine of an epic scale. I do go through the people I do follow after they follow me and if they pull that move, they must think they are super slick and original...I will unfollow and usually I'll send them a nasty direct message. Most people on Twitter are really awesome folks. As I've said in the past, I am picky about who I follow back, and usually it does have to be art related, but not always the case. I've been meaning to get this rant out of my pants for quite some time...I go through weekly to make sure I am not just another number. It's why I stopped OCDing about stats in general. Sure, I do get sad if I lose followers on Twitter and/or Facebook...but I get over it really fast. Not everyone is going to like me or my art style. I'm a what you see is what you get kind of gal. I'm not suitable for everyone. Art and personality. I'm good with that. I've been called a lot of names in my time and my motto is "if you don't like me, stay away from me". Trust me on this, I won't lose any sleep.
Okay rant over...for now. Into the more...finally got a Dad day! It was a day late, hence no Friday blog. It was so super awesome to hang out and just keep it low key. It was almost a month...we kept local, neither one of us were really up for too much public. Also, got to actually complete workouts. I am getting better...I have to work my way back up...and these allergies aren't helping...post nasal drippings, yum...along with congestion. UGH! I am so tired of it. I am listening to my body...and I was going to do a back to back workout but I wasn't feeling it yesterday. I was exhausted and so I did take it easy. I know when to push and when not to, which is good. Yesterday, was not a push day.
On that note minions, hump day will have more art for you to feast your eyes on and maybe just maybe grab your wallets out for. Check out Society 6 and grab some stuff. Make an artist very happy. Until the day that is hump, I bid you an adieu.
