Pipes – a steampunk nude Dazlstudio render I have yet to photograph the finished aviatrix yet so here is the render of the painting I am currently working on. it’s working name is pipes, but I don’t have a title for it yet. Sorry I didn’t post this last week, I had a migraine and…
I find I have more energy and I haven’t frittered away my day online. the most important thing is to paint and by putting it first I make sure it’s my priority – before marketing and web work, before email, even before facebook!
She’s consumed with herself and her desire to help, and Arthas, well, Arthas is being consumed by evil. do you remember the line in Billy Madison, ‘I drew a picture of a blue duck because i’ve never seen a blue duck before and I wanted to see a blue duck’ that’s what this painting is, I wanted to see what would happen if I painted them all in the nude, classically posed.
It has been brought to my attention that I missed some key goals on my list. Not painting, painting is #1 and always will be (more on that next week) but my offline goals. I plead distraction. I wrote my to do lists a couple of times in different ways, and reasoned that I had…
I have the software, the knowledge, I just don’t have any excuses. my facebook page is going really strong, it could use some videos, some more images (must paint must paint) and a nice branded landing page. something to entice. that’s next weeks project. as far as redesigning my webpage goes, I’ve been using iweb with some haxies to create my page, and it’s good, it’s certainly easy and it doesn’t distract me with fun code to play with, but I need to step it up a bit.
so, I mentioned that I had a number of goals for this year , getting back on track after taking a bit of maternity leave (I didn’t take much time off, but I always feel behind) so I’m going to break down my plan for each of my goals in turn in a project management new years series. this is so that I can a) get it all down in an accountable way, and b) show a little on how classic project management techniques can be used for artists.
I have been thinking about my goals for this year. They are broken down into personal, marketing, online, offline, exhibiting, creating art, learning and other revenue streams. At least so far… Last year was a wonderful year for me, I finally achieved one of my long term goals and gained gallery representation. I’ve been building…
Whatever your pleasure this holiday season I hope you will enjoy it to your fullest! I know I will! it’s been insanity for us- between moving, celebrating and shopping it’s all crazy. but as I lie here, our tree next to me in our lovely new house, wrapping paper and presents everywhere, christmas music playing…
Go check it out, it’s a fascinating space with some wonderful artists. the artworks are largely urban and fresh – I found myself tempted by so many pieces. this is a hallamark of an interesting gallery to me, if I don’t want to buy the works they have why would I want to exhibit there?
Ennui I get ideas all the time. ideas for paintings, blog posts, tweets, thankyou letters, exhibitions, concepts, installations, companies, the future.. my backbrain is always churning, always creating, always coming up with new ideas. the problem is my forebrain. my forebrain gets involved and starts editing all these ideas. it puts the t in can. and the more I think about them the more I think people don’t want to read this, see this, think about that.. what if they don’t like it, what if they don’t like me, what if, what if whatif?
