WHAT AM I DOING??????

So, what am I doing? Well that’s a good question. 

Over the past few months I’ve been working on art full time again, and I have mixed feelings about it.

On one side it’s great, since I love being self employed, and having really flexible work schedules, but on the other side, I’ve actually really struggled with my practice since. This is an on-going problem, and I feel like I’ve spoken so much about it, but balancing making art that makes you feel, and making art that will sell is a tricky balance. To be honest, I have no balance at all, since my income now relies on art, 95% of my time is spent doing art to sell, and even after that, I still don't have the business to make a full time wage. I really don’t like where my arts been heading because of this, it is again, stagnant. 

It’s not all doom and gloom though, as I have an action plan:

• Go back to my research era, evaluate my work, what I’m trying to do and what type of artist I am trying to be. This includes writing a big document (like those practice diary’s I had to do at uni, but all for me this time XD)
• Put all that business energy into other projects (not your own practice), which includes Flock (flockgrp.com) and another project that Im yet to reveal. This will allow me to have a better separation, since my income will not be solely based on my own artwork selling.
• Go back to experimenting, if I want to make something I will! Instead of only making things which are a sellable product, I can just play.

What does this mean for you guys? I’m not entirely certain yet, there will definitely be less originals and prints available in the coming months, which may also mean I may do less art drops, or stop them all together. I will update you all! One thing I will definitely say, is you will definitely see lots of new, potentially differant stuff being posted soon, some good changes :)
