I'll Just Take A Bigger Bite

     It's been longer than it should have been. Work, computer problems, stress, that overwhelmed feeling, all the usual problems. I got paid for two paintings and worked a double shift on Christmas. Flush with some extra cash. Bills paid. So, what's the problem? Little things. Stones in my passway. I did figure it was okay to take a while day with no art. I read and watched some movies. It felt pretty good. I can't take too many days like that, but one here and there won't hurt. I met with my new marketing representative. I guess that's what you'd call her. I haven't had an employee. The last one's job title was "The Colonel". I run kind of a loose business ship. As long as we're making more than we spend and we're heading in the right general direction I'm good.
   I just finished my yearly (more or less) ritual of the Dividing Of The Black Paint. I take a gallon of black paint and split it in to smaller plastic containers. Special music must be played and incantations chanted as the paint becomes many. Of course it wouldn't be PaintMageddon if I didn't get paint all over my hands. That's pretty par for the course in my studio though. A few quick binding spells ( you see what I did there?) and they now sit on a shelf in my studio, arms length from my easel. Just in case.
   Also finished the sponge commission:

Apparently I haven't uploaded the pictures from my phone. Here's a work in progress picture, which, ironically, has no sponge work in it:

  I'm also starting a new blog to explain, as best as I can, art, artists, art terms, anything art related I can explain. One more thing to keep track of. what dosen't kill me makes me sore. I'm also putting the finishing touches on a portrait (  computer. Preparing for a snow storm tonight. A fun way to start the day when you're car has no heat. I gotta suck it up and make it better. Push the paintings. Talk about the shoes. Write another graphic novel. One foot in front of the other.
