August
August has started with a rush.
It’s been a week and I have aged into another year, watched a few more movies and started to push my way back into making and selling art.
I always start getting down when I have to fill out more forms and paperwork. It makes me question my choices and lifestyle. I understand alot of people get this way, particularily if they get into the arts. It’s worse than a roller coaster and it makes alot of people give up their dreams or desires.
Since I’m done with all those little sheets of paper for another half year everything seems better for awhile. This could be a false sense of security, but it’s nice anyway.
Good news time.
My work might be comissioning me for a couple of wall murals and I’ve signed up for an art block party that is like a huge garage sale in order to make myself get back into painting.
I don’t want to get my hopes too high for the mural as I’m not sure what they’re budget might be. But sketching it all out is alot of fun. (Also the technical aspects of it all get me excited). As for the art sale, I am excited but also wired by my time constraints. I have about 15 days to get everything ready, figure out a display and retouch all the ones I want to sell. Out of those 15 days I will be away on a pre-planned roadtrip to another province for 7 and I will still be working.
I don’t think sleep will be easy. This feels like portpholio time which is fantastic and imposing all at once.
I think it will be worth it…
