Weekly update 1/28/2019

much like last week, this week was slow in the studio.  and im getting a little worried about that because i have my solo show in march!   I need to get my butt in gear and get more productive, but it's been so cold and snowy i just haven't felt any inspiration.  and yes yes, i know, i should be more concerned with consistency than inspiration, but damn it's hard to do.

i did get a little done though.

on some cups:  (which for some reason the picture won't upload)

and on some of my small paintings:

None of them are even close to being done, but im at least getting SOMEWHERE with them.

Im thinking i need more cups, because i don't have nearly enough, and maybe some of the 'tumblers' to paint for the REVIVAL show in march.  that will all depend on the budget though, as funds are VERY  limited.  I've looked into Patreon and im not sure if it's going to be useful for me right now.  I think i'll have to have more of a following to really get anything out of it.  I created a profile of course, to at least get the ball rolling, but there isn't really anything ON it, you know?

Ok, that's all i can think of at the moment, I'll write to you all next week!!!

This week in the studio 1/20/19

This week was side tracked with the flu (or at least flu like symptoms, i don't get to see my primary until Tuesday).  I got jack snot done.  Not even enough of anything to take a photo of.  Seriously, Nada. 

Tomorrow however, is my Friday (on a Monday, i know, my schedule is weird), and i have plans to make the best of it.  A three dollar bottle of wine and a couple hours slinging paint.  it will be haven. 

Tomorrow is of course also the super blood wolf i can't believe it's not butter full moon, and because im such a christmas and easter pagan, i will OBVS be doing something.  That something will probably be lighting some candles (which i need to do anyway, there are a lot of people im doing some prayer work for right now) and maybe cleaning the kitchen with a little Florida water.  Im such a kitchen witch.

Well, i think you're all caught up.  If i come up with something amazballs in the studio tomorrow, i may amend this. 

ttyl!

This week in the studio 1/14/19

Hello everybody!  it's been a pretty slow week at the Wyrd Studio, i didn't get as much done as i'd like to, and to be honest, i kind of slacked my weekend away.  then there was the CRAZY night of massive insomnia, and i ended up sleeping the day away later on.  but i did get a little done. 

first i got a few new layers on both the new shoes:

and i picked up some new cups, and got some layers on them.  

there are only 2 cups this time though.  the dollar store i went to only had one two pack.  it's just the first few layers on the cups though.  like i said i slacked.  

my little bam-bam got sick (again) this week too.  in his sickness, he decided that his doll i made him, Ghost, needed a friend, and it had to be Thanos.  So the last couple of days i've been researching and sewing up a Waldorf Doll, in purple.  my friend Dani sent an amazing link my way, and i got Thanos finished today.  What do you think?

He's feeling better, by the way. 

I'm hoping to get more done this week, and i'm setting up some dedicated studio hours after my gym time this week.  hopefully the insomnia that plagued me last week will leave me alone this week. 

Weekly update

Hello all!  Time for the weekly update.  I'll try to write a blog post at least every sunday (as long as i remember to), to keep you all in the loop. 

So this week...  By far the best thing i've done this week is this amazing table i created for my friend Claire. 

isn't it beautiful??!??!?!??  

i'd created a similar one for an art show that is still going on at Salon Ink in Papillion.  That one is the Triple Goddess Table:

also amazing.    The show should run through the end of this month if i remember correctly, and i have a couple other small pieces there too.  All of the art is absolutely amazing, and if you are in the area, please check it out.  Claire with Art Pop always does such an amazing job of curating her shows. 

One of the other awesome things i did this week was apply to a bunch of places to be their First Friday artist, and im super pleased to announce that in March i will be the First Friday artist at REVIVAL in Benson!!!  Revival is a great used clothing store, with really reasonable prices, and amazing stuff.  I'll be in the studio for the foreseeable future to make a bunch of new smaller pieces (i.e. more affordable as well) to show there , as well as a lot of new coffee cups and tumblers. 

I created a new Our Weird Wyrd comic, and you can find it here.  I've been thinking a lot about alternate realities, and it shows.  (i really do blame quite a lot on the large hadron collider.   look it up)

The only other thing i've got is sketching.  I usually sketch in books, but today i did some digital sketching.  I need to find a good program that will work with both my tablet and my WACOM pad so i can sketch on the go and not have to take my laptop everywhere. 

i think i missed my calling as a cartoonist.  i would have been amazing.  and yes, that's my middle finger.  it was a rough day at work.  

that's the extent of my week.  What all did you create?
