#artlife — Public Fediverse posts

Unpopular opinion: You don't need a muse, you need a routine. I’ve curated the ultimate toolkit of quotes to help you stop overthinking and start making 'crappy art' that actually leads to genius. Your next breakthrough is one copy-paste away.

I’ve got two updates today: one frustrating, one great.

First – artist missed the pre-agreed deadline, dropped a "will send when it's ready" at the end of the day, and then went silent. Not ideal. :BlobhajShock:
Second – oyster mushroom mycelium is actively taking over the cardboard!
:BlobHajMlem:

Biology is definitely more reliable than some humans right now, tbh. :BlobhajSadReach:

It was a good day for me. I got some organizing done, got to my local hardware store to buy supplies for making my own texture paste, got some substrates gessoed in preparation for some experimenting with traditional art, got some curtains hung, got some wood shifted into the house for the wood stove…

It has been an all around good day for me. Finally. I needed one.

Forse qualcuno di voi lo avrà notato: da qualche giorno sono tornato a scrivere sul mio blog. Un atto un po' vintage, lo so, ma che mi sta regalando un’immensa gioia. È il mio modo di rallentare, lontano dal rumore, per raccontarvi cosa succede davvero nel mio studio e nei boschi qui intorno. Trovate il nuovo post 'Ninfa d’Inverno' al link in bio

Today I do a bit of a reconnection to my local art world by volunteering as the Docent in their member-run gallery for five hours this afternoon.

I try to volunteer somehow once a week or so. It is *deeply* validating. It’s a happy place for me.

I get to work on my art surrounded by beautiful pieces made by new friends. I get to listen to soft music, converse with visitors, handle sales.

I can’t tell you how good it feels to be useful, to be actively engaged in contributing to something that brings light and hope and positivity to the world. I could go to a soup kitchen or help with some environmental efforts, but I feel like this is something I can do that others can’t. It parlays my skills into something that needs doing, that others can’t really do.

It makes me feel needed. Relevant. Hopeful. And it’s something I can choose to do to help cleanse my darkening soul a little from feeling utterly depressed and helpless. It’s not a lot, but it’s at least *something*. Every bit of positivity helps.

So I’ll take my iPad and an art history book I’m working on, and simply contribute by being there. It does truly help.

Just completed my 21st event of the year as an art vendor, having moved here to Humboldt County in northern California eight months ago.

i’m deep tired.

But I’m proud that I did it. From shifting my career away from academia toward freelance art, I found a home that would encourage me and events where I could find my people. I started making work that was of interest to the people of my region, and learned a whole lot about what they wanted and needed.

These events have been exhausting and validating at the same time. I couldn’t have asked for a softer landing after choosing to relocate to a new home with no safety cushion, no acquaintances, and no orientation to the area. It was the most terrifying leap of faith I’d ever done. And it is slowly paying off—maybe not in money but in community networking and encouragement.

So I’m tired now. I’m going to pick up the pieces this next week and assess what comes next. Tonight, however, I am indulging in an adult beverage and a warm yummy comfort-food dinner or cheesy hamburger rice. And a good audiobook I’m enjoying.

Whew. Big time exhale.

Today I’m wrapping up all the packaging and printing I can get done for my last holiday market craft fair this weekend in Arcata, CA.

I got my bookmarks tassled & all the greeting cards I could make before running out of ink.

Now it’s time for a haircut.

Woosh, it’s all coming to a close. Oy!

After today’s announcement of Disney’s Sora deal, it’s clear that big IP is going to go the way of schlock. Every company that owns characters and settings will be trying to make a similar deal, and it’s going to result in an absolute nightmare of out of control slop. I can’t imagine how, in the long term, this is a good idea for the lifespan of most of those IPs.

I’m hoping that perhaps it means there may be a rise in interest in more bespoke, smaller, less commercially successful IPs and artists doing authentic, genuine, human-made work. At least after the short-term fascination with maniacally wrecking those larger IPs has run its course.

I saw a similar discussion on the movie market focusing on making films viable on a global scale instead of speaking to a specific audience. The upshot of the necessity for global success has meant most films that can’t connect with everyone in the entire world aren’t being made. And some platforms, like Netflix (for example) have filled in that niche in some ways.

I’m wondering if the upcoming tidal wave of big IP schlock will mean that smaller, less corporate IPs will flourish? Maybe? It’d be nice if that happens. Hopefully. We’ll see.
