good morning campers........well let's just dive right in.....i obviously have too many fires going to accomplish anything......i've been reading things on marketing and such, and getting very overwhelmed with all the information out there..........how do you focus on something when you have 5 thousand somethings going on??? i was reading an article about , what else, art marketing....and came across this artist...corrina thurston.......i figured i give her props for inspiring me and others....i mean she is pretty inspirational, she's got a great story too........but in 10 years, she has gone from sketching to doing alot of stuff successfully.......wow......i have been at this for over 30 years and while yes i have done alot of murals, i just feel like maybe i have too much stuff going on or trying to make go on?....does that make sense?.....i'm not comparing myself ....well maybe i am....i mean all artists are different, all art is subjective........but i want to make this a business, ya know actually make a living at it, but ........there are alot of but's here.......i guess i'm making excuses for not achieving ...what....well i'm not sure..... so that really gets to the point of why i'm where i am.......not really anywhere.....well i am ....i'm here...so that's not anywhere.....but....wow that's my word today..... so my art day goes.....cause i've got other stuff i do, but i'll focus on the art part at the moment.......check email....interact with others on facebook....i seem to be a hermit and don't interact much on facebook or at all and then i'm asking people to "check out my latest post or artwork"....kinda rude and insensitive to others thinking i'm so special people want to read all about my latest exploits.......so i try to interact on facebook.......i have to set a timer cause i get sucked in and the next thing i know its 2 hours later.......but there is alot of funny stuff out there........then try to post on instagram, cause if you post 1 time a day people start following you...is what people say, and you know what people say....."no, what do people say?".......anyway....oh my, i'm rhyming now.....you can tell when things are going downhill when you rhyme at will.....ok that was a forced rhyme...... .......do you feel the pressure already and i've only gotten into 45 min of my art day.....and once again you can't just post on instagram and not interact there either......so i set the timer again....cause there is alot of good stuff out there............then different days of the week i do different things at this point....write blog, draw pics for blog, post blog, work on computer to edit pics, rework on computer cause now i have to make all pics 1200 pixels or less...arrrgghh and i forgot how to resize again...i think i lost the post-it.....apply to mural calls....which means i have to find pics to send, write statements of why i want to apply to the calls, archive pics, photograph artwork, download artwork.............then.......that's supposed to take about an hour or so...now i actually draw, paint, sketch, whatever....for about an hour......ha ha ha.........i am a mess..........my biorhythms must be in the dumpster today.........i only really.....reverse that....i really only have 3 hours to get all that done before going back to my paying job.......and i thought i was organized....ha ha.....oh yeah and also this above doesn't happen everyday........sometimes i get part of it done.....some days i just do whatever i want...which might not be anything....it's great being my own boss.....but sometimes my boss is not that organized....and kinda lazy....at times..... well what to do???......hmmm.......well 1st, stop ranting about my lack of getting stuff done and 2nd, .....get stuff done!...right?!.....i mean it's not rocket science....or is it??...... if i want to do something, i have to actually do something......sometimes i amaze myself with my brilliance........the wonders of my brain.......so i figured what better way to say "hey i'm gonna do something", than in public, or on the internet......so world....for the next ....wait a second while i go and count the days.......14 weeks and 2 days....hey that's exactly 100 days....seriously i didn't plan that...........unless my math is wrong, which it could be.....but that gets us to the end of 2020......i will....this is not a maybe or i'll try, but i will do a drawing or sketch or painting or some sort of artwork everyday!!!!.....which is 100 pieces of art.....woohoo!....... i will post them here so yall get 7 fun filled drawings every week now!!!....and post on instagram everyday, well skipping sunday, so mon -sat.........which also means i'm posting a blog every tuesday!...yes that's right folks...blog posts on tues! so hopefully , no change that to....... this will... get me creating art everyday........this will get me motivated , even when i don't want to be motivated.......i'm on fire....can someone say bipolar?....."bipolar"........so moving forward, switching "but" for "will", creating art for the next 100 days, and use all my fires to draw by.....God's got my back, and front...ha ha...........life is good! be groovy!
