Well I for sure want to get the arty art news out first...because that's what this blog's main focus is. Art. The rest is shenanigans'...and my verbal vomit of vomitness. There is a sneaky sale that needs no promo link over at Society 6. It ends tonight at 11:59PM PST. Check it out, bring the wallets. The 4 new pieces are waiting...
It's been a lower key quasi-weekend for me. Not too much arting, but I did promise myself and the peanut gallery I'd take it easier on the weekends. I got a lot of reading done...plus with our plague, that seems to have passed (knock on wood), I needed extra sleep. I listened to my body and I'm not feeling that bad. I think I'm still having allergy issues...UGH...but those I can deal with. I plan on some serious arting all week. I did put the big piece I was working on into the recycle bin, it was not making me happy, at all. It just wasn't coming out right...I am going to try a rough sketch again, but work on something else instead. I think I got the image I wanted stuck in my head, which means the image that was coming out that was different wasn't good enough for me. Happens all the time. This time was just a bit worse than others. I'll get it...as soon as I get the finite image contorted to a guideline of sorts. Then it's off to the races...here comes the mull/ponder/rant....grab the eye drops...
In light of all the Twitter bullshit that I've been having since I re-branded, wow almost 2 years ago, now, I'm wondering if coming out from behind my mascot was the right thing to do. Not wondering, because I know it was the right thing to do, but more of a mull and ponder. Clyde never got pestered, scammed, etc. Maybe because the dirt bags are seeing a real person, it opens me up to attempted scams...and it's been quite the adventure...and it's continuous. I am going through the right avenues to hopefully aide in catching these dirt bags, but I know it's a long shot. I guess I'm reflecting on what was and what is. I am not going to re-brand and hide behind a mascot, it wouldn't work with the art I'm doing now. It wouldn't fit. I do miss the safety of Clyde sometimes. Not that I don't feel safe, more pissed off, annoyed and feel the need to catch the scum that are probably succeeding, which that is what makes me go that extra mile besides just blocking and moving on. I can't do that. It just isn't my style. Again, I'll say most of the Twitter interactions have been positive and really amazing. As the saying goes, it only takes one rotten apple to ruin the bunch...no I'm not quitting Twitter, or anything like that. I'm grateful for the amazing people I have met on there. I'm just tired of the fucktards that think they can get away with scamming people...get a real fucking job and earn your money. Dammit! If they put in half the energy they did scamming people into actual work, they'd be doing pretty good in life. I guess this is a new-er-ish pet peeve of mine...I still get the phone scams, but the online ones are newer to me as I have hidden myself behind my mascot, Clyde, for so many years.
In more news...I am going to be doing the kick my ass workout today...yay!! I'm still feeling a bit low energy, but I really feel the need to move...learn the new program...it is very fun. I probably will still be using lighter weights until I can get used to the moves...I do think it's going to be at least 2 months until I plateau, which is not a bad thing. I'm happy about that. I'm still excited to workout, which is a good thing...I feel and probably look like a complete moron trying to keep up and learn it.
On that note minions...I will let you get back to the day that is hump...I think there was more I wanted to say, but it's been lost in the void of my noggin. Happens. The coffee while powerful, can't be expected to work miracles...especially when the noggin's to do list is spinning right round, baby right round, like a record baby...okay if you get that reference I applaud you! On that mysterious reference note, I bid you an adieu until Monday, which will be partial update, and then next hump day will be another small one! Until then...
