I still feel artistically restless and like I can't devote enough attention to truly improving in any one area so I'm not getting any better PLUS my time is also split with writing so I'm REALLY stretched thin because there's too much I want to do
I'm currently unemployed cuz the job situation is not great in New Orleans right now hahaha so that's a big fat source of stress but I'm working on getting hired so I can get that bread hahahahaha
I also miss my boyfriend but he'll be moving here around January so YAY
New Orleans is freaking crazy. I'm probably gonna get run over by a streetcar carrying home a margarita in a to-go cup at eleven in the morning
Oh I'm also still in this ongoing identity crisis I've been suffering since uhhh I think 2017 hahaha so that's fun
I was cleaning up my gallery (throwing things in scraps because I'm a hoarder and don't have the heart to delete anything...) so I'm gonna keep the momentum going and post a journal in the form of a list of bullet points
^^^ That's my new "website" where I have links to all the places I put my art. Go there to find stuff you may not have seen before, like my redbubble store and my actual portfolio.
If you have an instagram I WANT TO FOLLOW YOU so comment or DM me so I can do that. My insta is just me posting mirror selfies so it's not relevant enough for me to post here. Not that it would be hard to find.
In like a month or two I'll find out where I got into graduate school for creative writing so if that goes well than this summer I'll be moving way away from home to whatever school I go to.
Right now in Minnesota it's -20°F with a wind chill of -30°F. Nobody's cars are starting. My boss drove me to work and my boyfriend is stranded at my apartment. Record low temperatures. Frostbite sets in dangerously quickly. Everything has been closed and cancelled due to the cold.
Been wanting to learn to paint lately so I'm starting with clouds. I feel artistically restless. My comic started in 2012 so we're dealing with a 7-year itch but I think we'll get through it.
That makes it sound like I refer to myself in the plural. By "we" I mean "my comic and I" but if you want to think of me as having an atypical plurality, go for it. Makes me (us) sound mysterious.
Speaking of my comic, I'm actually slowly working on the next chapter (chpater 4) of LMTW. Hahahahaha.
I'm still a writer, obviously. Currently revising Guy Fulton Bursloff (which I assure you will have a new title soon) for the ninth time or something because it's my post publishable book and the one I care about most. Aside from that, constantly submitted short stories for publication.
Hey if any of you have twitter, tumblr, or an art facebook page, I wanna follow you!! Even if it's barely/not at all art related. Post your links in the comments, or send me a note if you want to keep it private :>
