I spent the weekend catching up on some art I owe for trades along with making some new decos and ATCs (above) to send out into the art ether. And much of yesterday was spent putting my art on phone cases and t-shirts at various sites. The joys of earning a living through art. Ahem. I truly wish that the making part was the full time job and the administration, promotion, mailings, etc. was the part time job. But it doesn't work that way. I think I probably spend about 50% of my work time on the less fun tasks. Ouch. Maybe I'm doing it wrong. :)
Lovely, colourful work again, I used to have a dog like that, but she didn't wear a cap. You asked on my blog if I trade my art - yes! Valerie
ReplyDeleteSounds *and* looks like a nice and creative weekend. The arting part, anyway!
ReplyDeleteUghhhhhh the admin stuff is the worst! I wish I could hire an intern just for Etsy listings. I love that rainbowey girl - she looks very Delirium Somber. ;)
ReplyDeleteShe does! I almost put colored streaks in her hair but I restrained myself, LOL
DeleteI'm afraid that's mostly true for every job. The fun part is always counter balcanced by boring tasks that are absolutely necessary but spoil the fun a bit...;)
ReplyDeleteLove your mixed media work! You have such good instincts!
ReplyDeleteI love these! The girl is beautiful and the dog is so cute! I too think I spend too much time on the less fun part...
ReplyDeleteThat dog is sooo cute ... Love his expression. I sure wish I had the money to pay an assistent to do the boring stuff for me .... Imagine being able to create full-time ..... aahhh
ReplyDeleteLove the phone cases and the ninja penguins - and all the other T-shirts.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful red-haired lady, and sad-eyed dog, but I think he's just acting so that he gets a few treats.
Working for yourself is such a pain as far as the admin and marketing side are concerned. In the olden days I used to sit typing a thousand envelopes for a mail-shot, which does nothing for the creative soul. At least when you do it yourself, you know you do it right first time.
I love this bassett hound and your Rainbow giirl ..and the phone cases look absolut great!
ReplyDeleteI love your creative style. Nicely done.
ReplyDeleteThe redhead is SUCH a stunner. Just amazingly great color. And I must learn to do a great nose like that!
