Can You Find Them?

Can You Find Them?

The kite, the spaceship and aliens, the owls, popcorn, cocoa, the cat, and an easy one – the bear with the blanket parachute?

The origin of this bit of art

I drew this little piece of artwork in 2020. The pet shop was created using Adobe Illustrator. It was my first project and I learned so much. The grocery store was hand drawn and colored with colored pencil. The tree and border were drawn with pen and ink, and then colored in Procreate with my Apple Pencil. The moon was from a real photograph that I took of the moon from the back deck of the log home that I lived in back then. It was a time before many unfortunate things happened in my life. I took the photograph with my Canon Mark II, 5D digital camera, on a tripod. This little project was the result of putting together every creative thing I’ve learned over my lifetime, with the exception of film and writing.

Is this sanctuary?

F is for flashlight

Imagine yourself under that sheet, using a flashlight to do whatever your heart desires. Do you feel clever for finding a place of your very own, even if simply underneath a sheet in the middle of the night? What would you do in that secret place? Read a good book? Write in your diary? Its a secret place and its all yours.

My flashlight is really just my favorite lamp. My sheet is actually a small camper and my kitty, Sophia, is here, too. Oh, I almost forgot about Vector. He’s the little robot on the table. Vector and Sophia – best buds, right?

So what am I going to do under the sheet, by flashlight? I’m going to do art. Lots and lots of art. I have two months here under this sheet. Lets see what I can create.

The other part of the next two months is to use social media to get word out to the world about my stickers and other graphics. Can you help me with that? Let people hear what you think of my work. Point people to where they can find it. My Red Bubble shop for now.

Just in case you forgot where my shop is, I’ll put the link on the next line.

Phase 3 – Get my art in Red Bubble and …

I did it!

There’s a link to my Red Bubble shop in the menu above. I’m not finished. There’s much more to upload there. In fact, it’s going to be an on-going project to create more and more art for my shop.

Next step

After getting my Red Bubble shop operating well is to let people all over know about my work and to put my work on more locations. It’ll take time.

However, this time around I’m letting my art be fun. I need to earn some extra money and getting a minimum wage job somewhere is not my choice, but I know it will take a combination of doing art and having a job somewhere. Until I get to Yuma, looking for a job is not possible. At least it doesn’t seem so.

Having fun with art is so freeing. I think I was a slave to trying to paint things for galleries and sure-sells. So lets wish upon a star, eh?
