**Finish the bishoju painting commission

**Finish Barbiecore

**Update LinkedIn —-DONE THAT TODAY

**Work on the newest painting. Will it be black and white or color. I really don't know.

I 10000 % start new paintings whenever the mood hits me, 2am or in between making dinner. I grab a canvas and just start with what's in my head. The canvas in this case was a piece of wood, painted black. No matter what, I need white paint to block out the image in my head before adding any colors.

The problem is, for the first time ever

I think I want to continue the painting in black and white 😬. I mean I love b & w art and sometimes I indulge in it myself. But my whole goal in life is to throw more color into this world. And this piece would be insanely colorful. Deep greens and neon greens and yellows and blue and orange and red. So colorful.

But yet….something really gets to me about this as it is so far. This white and black line less start.

We will see what I choose to do when it's time to work on it again.

In other news, I updated my LinkedIn, which was crucial. I am seeking representation by an art rep or gallery.

Have I said recently how much I love this website I have now? I vow to blog every few days. I am busy, I am always creating things. I'm also currently dying my hair and testing out a new color. I'm not lacking for content. I just forget to update online. It happens.

Like I was randomly inspired to paint this garden gnome from the dollar store into a zombie gnome. I need to fine detail it still…add that to my list lol.

Hobbies and varied interests of sorts.

I have TOO MANY INTERESTS. Everything is interesting. I can be surprised by the things that suddenly intrigue me. Currently I’m debating attempting to turn my poinsettia into a bonsai after the holidays. I learned that poinsettia originate from Mexico, and that climate enables them to grow into trees. Poinsettia trees are BEAUTIFUL. But I live in a cold climate. And I don't have a greenhouse. I thought about stunting the plant into a bush. Some say it's hard to do, some say it's easy. I’m debating if I need another project right now.

Postal strike, goodbye Etsy, hello Ko-fi

There has been so many surprises over the last year, I’m weary of them now. Another surprise is just how much Etsy makes off each sale.

Before the move, I was selling things so rapidly it wasn't easy to keep track of the hidden fees. I’d had my shop for years. I ignored the fees, figured they balanced out in the end. I was selling and paying bills after all, and that was the goal.

I moved locations, eventually reopened my Etsy shop, and had my first sale. One sale meant it was very easy to see how much Etsy took in fees. Every deduction from Etsy was just on that one solitary sale.
