Lose face study 2 & Art Life update (Patreon)

When I was working on the covid collection (I.e painting while I had covid) I did this one study where I really liked the idea but I felt the overall painting could improve.

I’ve honestly been feeling a little down in the dumps lately. And the other day I was feeling especially useless and gloomy. So I looked up some nice costuming to try to paint this idea again.

And I’ll probably put it in photoshop or something and rework it there before making a finished version of it.

In general that’s kind of where I am in my art life.

I just want to paint and everything else feels overwhelming.

I’m trying to get back into my routines of making videos for y’all. And I’ve been making some progress.

I have 2 that I’m editing, 1 that I’m writing and another one that will be more of a demo type video which I won’t have to write as much for.

Plus a bunch of footage that I’ll probably make Timelapse videos out of, but I just need to create some sounds for them.

But I just feel like painting needs to take the front seat for a little longer.

There have been some “career” type things going on lately that have served as a reminder that making art should always come first.

This journey of trying to “make it” or whatever is a part of the process, and I will continue the hike up that mountain.

But making good art is the only thing that I can exert any meaningful control over.

I am grateful to every member of the Choir for supporting my work by being here. I put in a lot of work to try and make it worth it for you.

Here’s a praying mantis I saw the other day.
